Kingdom Hearts Tries Its Hand at Augmented Reality Games, Fails Miserably

In the Kingdom Hearts series, the player character often teams up with two other party members as you explore the game’s various Disney worlds. In Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance however, players use friendly versions the game’s monsters—called ā€œDream Eatersā€ā€”as party members instead of the usual Disney characters.

Besides leveling-up through battle, your Dream Eaters can be improved in a series of augmented reality games using the 3DS’ cameras. And though these AR games are playable, they’re still not very good.

Check out the video above to see a few of these AR games in action.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance was released in Japan on March 29, 2012 for the Nintendo 3DS. A western release is planned for sometime in summer 2012.
