Hello KH-Vids. Earlier we've posted impressions from the playable demo of Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance during this weekend at the London MCM Expo. Our member "Protecter212" has also submitted his review as he attended the event and submitted his own impressions while playing as Riku.

The impressions can be found below. Please note you are accessing minor spoilers.

Spoiler

The world was Country of the Musketeers. As Riku approachs the Castle and notices Pete walking into the main entrance, Riku follows him. It now changes to Gameplay and tutorials pop up, explaining the battle system and Flowmotion and Drop system. The commands are the same as 358/2 Days and Coded. Riku's assortment of Commands was Dark Splicer, Dark Forage, Curaga (or Cure?) and his keyblade wasn't Way to the Dawn sadly enough. We are also introduced to the Dream Eaters in battle and Riku had I believe a Unicorn and a Bat, but silly me was too focused on the fighting (chuckle).

I entered the castle and another tuorial pops up of Links with another player to borrow a Dream Eater from another 3DS. The name of the player funnily enough was named Vanille. I'd imagine the other 3DS's that had KH: DDD had different names. I also tried to use the new mechinaces of the system. Amazed at the idea of using the enviroment to your advantage kind of like Reaction Commands but without the obivous triangle pressing.

I continued on using the map in the lower screen and so far opened two treasure chests contaning Mega Potions and saw pete had ordered his goons to place wooden replicas of Mickey, Donald and Goofy in front of a stage prop ship and Riku hid. Commenting on how those three always are together and wooden crates fall these replicas and Pete moves on leaving Riku to follow onwards.

Sadly this is where I have to end it. I had a set time limit playing the demo and the attendee who had the booth said you can only reach up to the stage ship then that's it. Happily, I was able to watch the cutscenes and if I remember; I was the 432nd person to play the Demo. There were seriously many people who wanted to play this game and I don't blame them for a second!

I also played Theatrhythm Final Fantasy and it's what it says on the tin. You need to tap, press down or move the cursor on top of the screen with the pen on the bottom. It seems like most FF characters are there as I saw there was Locke and Vivi in my team. Sadly, I did not get far (chuckles again) because rhythm or beat music games do not work for me due to my hearing unfortunately. Trust me, when I had Birth by Sleep, I couldn't get past Ventus's Disney Town plot and shamefully I had to ask for assistance.

All in all, I'm happy to have gotten the chance to experience these two games and look forward to Dream Drop Distance offical release and enjoy the story, the characters and of course the new battle system.
