Where Union X used medals, this game uses cards. I’ll talk more about the battle system later, but I can summarize it here. The little icon in the center of the above screenshot is where you could collect your accumulated Battle Points. You could also earn Battle Points in Dark Road by playing Union X. When Dark Road arrived, purchasing the weekly jewel deal became a better bargain since it would unlock things in both games. You used the same pool of jewels (the purchasable currency), so if you had accumulated jewels you could spend them in either game. Both games were a part of the same app, so there was some interplay between the games. This is a good place to mention how Dark Road and Union X worked together. There was also a How To Play tutorial here. On the home screen you could select your party and access all the game modes in one place, which was handy. This was similar to the coliseum in Union X, with 100 floors and increasing rewards as you proceeded. A third area was added later and was called the Tower of Trials. There were only two worlds: Wonderland and Agrabah. You could cycle through the worlds and select the star rank (difficulty) using the selectors at the top left of the screen. The home screen depicted the selected world. There is less to this game than Union X, so it won’t take us long to delve into the features and game modes. (He was also the Youth in White in Kingdom Hearts III.) Some of the other students at their Keyblade School have gone missing and Xehanort’s young crew have been tasked with the highly dangerous task of locating them. One of them is Eraqus, who you may remember as being the master and teacher of Terra, Aqua, and Ventus. This game takes place when Xehanort is a teenager/young man and follows his first dealings with darkness and Heartless along with his friends, a group of fellow Keyblade wielders. In that game, his biggest goal is to unlock the X-Blade (pronounced “key blade”. If you recall in BBS, Master Xehanort is an old man with dark designs on the world. This game takes place in between the story of Union X and Birth By Sleep. However, I will set the stage just a bit so you have some context. You can read on without fear of spoilers. It featured a similar art style to Union X, but drastically different gameplay.Īs I mentioned last time, in a later post I will go over the story in its entirety, so I won’t get into that much here. It followed pretty closely on the heels of Kingdom Hearts III and promised to reveal the origin of the main Kingdom Hearts villain, Xehanort. For those of you keeping score, this was seven months before the announcement came that the game would be shut down. Dark Road was added to the game in June of 2020.
