Kingdom Hearts χ
Kingdom Hearts χ is one of the most divisive things Square Enix has ever done with the Disney RPG series, as it presents one of the most pivotal, foundational pieces of storytelling the franchise has had up to this point in a mobile gacha game. The events of χ are hinted at throughout the Kingdom Hearts franchise, but you’re mostly operating in the aftermath of what is set in motion by this game. It has some neat ideas, such as letting you create your own character within the Kingdom Hearts universe, and while getting to it is a time sink, the story is pretty compelling for long-time fans. But it’s a baffling example of how cumbersome Square’s handling of Kingdom Hearts’ worldbuilding has been over the past 20 years.
