Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days: First Axel Gameplay

First Axel gameplay that came with ReRiplai. Video takes place in Twilight town With Roxas (player controlled) and Axel (NPCC). Extra Info: As you may know, the DS has limits in regards to 3D games. It can do decent 3D as seen in this game, but it has a limitation where only a few character models can appear on screen at once without slowdown. This is common in many games for the DS. I've seen it in Lego Star Wars, Final Fantasy 3 DS, and other 3D games. Final Fantasy 4 got around this limitation and adding in more battle models by making the action more choppy in battle. But that was a turn based RPG. This is an action RPG, and speed is essential with limited slowdown.

Several hands-on previews have noted the lack of enemies onscreen in multiplayer. Multiplayer supports up to 4 players at once. The impressions noted that there's rarely ever more than 3 enemies onscreen at once in the multiplayer. I assume putting more would create severe slowdown, likely not helped by the wireless transfer rate.

And in this new video with Xaldin, 5 heartless appear when the Tension Rising theme begins.

Like I said, this is technical, but I guess important to gameplay since it relates to the amount of action going on at once. I've figured this out:

There can be a general average of no more than 7 characters onscreen at once. This includes playable characters and enemies.

In single player mode, you play as Roxas and an OrgXIII partner. You will likely see a maximum of 5 enemies onscreen at once. That's 2 characters and 5 enemies.

There may also be certain situations where you play as Roxas alone. That's speculation, but in cases like that, there could probably be 6 enemies on screen at once.

In multiplayer, we've seen you can have a team of 4 characters. Figuring that in, there will probably be a maximum of 3 enemies on screen at once. The media impressions say that the lack of enemies was masked by making them more difficult to defeat.

Don't worry, it tries to mimic the controls for KHII as closely as possible. Touch screen is used to rotate the camera quickly.

@zaqareemalcolm

I guess so. Watch some gameplay from The Warriors, that's my kind of helper lol

[zaqareemalcolm]

@anythingnew But the AI's in Days are pretty helpful.

For one thing, you don't have to install Potions on them. They automatically heal you when HP is at low

Maybe it's fun for you, but I like my games with AIs and helpers.

That SUCKS. From a series like Kingdom Hearts where at the least you would have TWO AI's to back you up, but in this case - one to zero help? There are so few games that let you get multiple party members that are not turn based, such as Final Fantasy, which I do fine fun, but they do not incorporate real time combat and TRUE teamwork like Dynasty Warriors, The Warriors, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, or even the Rockstars series games.
