Get your Gabe-endorsed keyblade fix next month
The titles coming to Steam are Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX,Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, andKingdom Hearts III+ Re Mind DLC, which doesn’t sound like a lot until you realise they’re compilations that each contain several games therein. You could also get the Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece, a bundle containing all three. At this point making jokes about Kingdom Hearts' naming conventions is about as tired as calling the actor who plays Dr. Strange “Englebort Cucumberthatch” or whatever, so I will just point you toSqueenix’s post about it, which has a pretty comprehensive breakdown of what is in which compliation.
To expand on my glib summary in the intro, Kingdom Hearts is actually about a young man with huge gloves called Sora, who becomes a hero in the first game when his homeland is almost consumed by a faction of evil goons called the Heartless. The Heartless are also encroaching on the Disney kingdom (ruled by King Mickey, obviously), and Donald Duck and Goofy are sent to find Sora. The series continues from there with many subplots involving Disney villains, new enemies, quests for special weapons, and so on. The popularity of the series, which plays quite like Final Fantasy, as I understand it, is in part because there are extremely dramatic scenes featuring love, loss, sacrifice, and so on, and, like, a cartoon duck without pants on is just there. Which, to be fair, is a good pitch.
Look out for Kingdom Hearts on Steam on June 13th
