Since the CBT for the browser game began today, I thought I would take a few screenshots and give a brief run-through of the Beta test experience.



Starting from the tutorial, players are given limited customization options, but this is expected for the closed beta. As per usual in Kingdom Hearts games, small hint tutorials are given to help move the player along. If you don't speak Japanese, it still won't help. :/

​

​

The Beta test offers 3 worlds to visit! Dwarf Woodlands, Wonderland, and Agrabah. While there is nothing particularly different with each world, the layout and music still give it their own individual feel. While there are no well known bosses, each world has it's top dog heartless. Large Body in Dwarf Woodlands, Tornado Step in Wonderland, and Armored Soldier in Agrabah. (I myself, spent most of my time in Dwarf Woodlands)​

​

The gameplay is pretty simple. Once you deck is constructed, it's "Click and attack" from there. With each level up, Missions are granted that give rewards once completed. To gather materials, open chests and fight heartless, AP is used. Once all 50 points are depleted, it can only be fully replenished by leveling, using potions, or waiting for it to refill over time (Usually 5 minutes to restore 1 AP this way...)​

​

​

​

Players' decks are made from Attack and Assist Cards. Attack cards act as your means of both attack and defense, while Assist cards increase your HP. Constructing your deck is based around 3 types of attack cards with the following icons; Sword, Wing, and Orb. Each acting as a physical attack, Air based attack, and Magical attack respectively. These cards have a cost and while we would all like to equip the strongest cards, the overall cost of each card limits you.​

​

In the deck construction menu, players are able to equip, meld cards to increase the strength of other cards, or sell them. When certain materials are gained, you can even upgrade your keyblade to increase your attack strength!​

Here are just a few of the cards the CBT has to offer through Treasure Chests and battle rewards;​

​

​

​

​

Some of the rewards you get from missions include Moogle points and coupons. Both can be used to exchange for more rare or stronger cards. Some are fairly common, but they can always be used as melding materials.​

​

​

​

​

Another cool aspect, is the "Encounters" that occur every 15 minutes or so. These are like the raid boss battles of the game. If you die during your first encounter, use BP to continue fighting on! (Can be replenished through Ethers or over time) So far only Darkside can be fought, and his power varies per encounter. He is very powerful and can be notched down by other members on your team. (I was randomly placed in one since I started) Teams compete with one another to see who has the most "Lux." The victors gain prizes such as Moogle Coupons.​

The Keyblade that players used is Called Starlight.​

Just a Short update, if anyone can correct or offer their own experiences, please don't hesitate!​
