A report in GameRant also cited how the game is related to other "Kingdom Hearts" games. According to the report, the game has portions that bring back players to "Dream Drop Distance," "Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth By Sleep," and "Kingdom Hearts X Back Cover."
GameRant also noted that customization in the game can be done with so many clothing options to choose from, which players can pick for their avatar. These options come from previous games in the series. The game does not seem to have too many "micro transactions" which means players can safely play the game without spending so much on it.
In Japan, the game was available for free on mobile devices. This may likely be the same when it is released for North America.
