If you ignore the mediocre story this game is actually fucking great and is the best Command Deck game. The flow of the game is phenomenal, music is really nice for being bit-crunched, and the gimmicks it adds are so fun. I think most of the hate comes from either their favorite YouTuber saying so, or the story, because let's not act like Dream Drop is better when it has a frustrating story AND bad gameplay. Olympus being a turn-based RPG is such a fun idea, and the Keyblades all functioning differently is such a cool concept. I love the buffs and debuffs the level system has, and I adored the mini-game-like level design the Datascape levels had. Come into this game with an open mind, I think you'll appreciate Re:coded for how great the gameplay loop is.
