Sora saves the world from Xehanort and the Heartless (darkness beings) a lot, but he couldn’t do so without his trusty sidekicks: Donald Duck and Goofy.Īnyway, because Xehanort wants to pit the Guardians of Light against the Seekers of Darkness, it’s up to Sora and friends to choose seven Guardians of Light for the battle, otherwise Xehanort will take seven innocent hearts instead. In Kingdom Hearts 3 you play as young Keyblade master Sora – who you’ll be pretty familiar with if you’ve played the previous titles. It’s much more complicated than that, but that’s the gist. So, Master Xehanort, the series’ main antagonist – who's easy to identify, as he's the old, bald egg-headed man with a goatee and menacing grin – is back, and is planning to instigate another Keyblade War between the Seven Guardians of Light (the good guys) and Organization XIII’s Seekers of Darkness (the bad guys) by forging a legendary weapon called the X-blade.Įssentially, Xehanort is a bit of a jerk, and wants to plunge the world into darkness again. If all this feels like too much work, then we're here to break it down for you as succinctly as possible in one paragraph – at least where the story is when you begin Kingdom Hearts 3. There are a lot of ominous, spikey, white-haired men in cloaks, and several characters who look quite similar, so brushing up on the lore first is probably a good strategy. A lot of the story involves characters from this title, and it will save you the hassle of trying to google what the hell is going on once you get started, as I had to. If there’s anything I'd advise before starting the series’ latest addition, it would be to play not just the first two games but also Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep (at the very least).

who knows).Īs someone who's played both Kingdom Hearts I and II, and considers herself a lifelong fan, I felt I had a fairly solid grasp on the lore of the series – but it was evident from the moment I set foot in Kingdom Hearts 3 how wrong I was. The multi-part saga is set over various generations, and involves multiple characters (some of whom are just the same character but without a heart, or with a heart, or in the same heart. Despite the obvious charm and general feel-goodness the Kingdom Hearts series projects, arguably the most off-putting element for new players is the complex storyline and, I’ll be honest, it’s no surprise.
