Set right after the first Kingdom Hearts, Chain of Memories follows Sora, Donald and Goofy into Castle Oblivion, where each floor they climb makes them forget a little more. The 2004 Game Boy Advance game was developed by Jupiter with Square Enix and introduced key parts of the series' mythology, including the black-coated Organization XIII and the girl Namine, setting up Kingdom Hearts II.
Combat is real-time but card-based. Your deck holds attacks, magic, items and summons, each with a number; playing a higher card breaks an enemy's lower card, and stacking three cards together creates powerful Sleights. Floors are built from map cards that determine room types. Finishing Sora's story unlocks Reverse/Rebirth, a second campaign as Riku with his own deck rules. The card system divides players, but many appreciate how its story shaped the rest of the series. It was later remade in 3D as Re:Chain of Memories.
Tips for Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
Build your deck around a few strong card values; higher cards break enemy attacks, while zeros can break anything if timed after an enemy card.
Keep a few Cure cards in the deck and know where they are in the rotation.
Learn useful Sleights early, since combining three cards is the best source of damage against bosses.
