Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories is a GBA-exclusive sequel to the PS2 hit, Kingdom Hearts, that features a card-based action battle system and a story that bridges the gap between Kingdom Hearts I and II.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories is an action role-playing game originally developed exclusively for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance. Chain of Memories continues the story of Sora and his companions Donald and Goofy as they search for their missing friends. The story of the game takes place between Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II (both exclusively PS2 titles). A Playstation 2 remake of Chain of Memories was released in Japan as part of the Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix release. The game utilizes a card based battle mechanic which combines the strategy of deck-building and the excitement of real time combat to create a unique style of gameplay.

Chain of Memories tells the story of Sora and his friends as they explore Castle Oblivion, searching for their missing friends. The further they travel into the dungeon, the more they begin to forget what has happened, and even what they're doing here. As they travel through the dungeon, they meet the members of Organization XIII, a mysterious group with an unknown agenda. Many of the worlds from the original Kingdom Hearts make a return in Chain of Memories, including Agrabah, Wonderland, and Halloween Town, as well as the new world of Twilight Town.

Card Types

Attack Cards:

Those are the most common card types. You collect different attack cards with different numbers on them showing their power. It can go from 0 to 9. The highest your number the harder it is for the enemies to card-break you. The 0 card although it is easily breakable can always break other cards no matter what their number is.

Magic Cards: Those have ranges like the attack cards from 0-9 with the same capabilities but this time you get to do long range attacks as well as summons. You can stack the magic cards for an improved attack (for exemple if it's fire card, stack 2 for fira and stack 3 for firaga)

Friend Cards: Those cards are different depending on the level. You get different friends on different worlds and you can use them for special attacks. Agin their range goes from 0-9 and they are stackable for more powerful and more difficult to break attacks.

Item Cards: Those cards contain different items such as potions and elixirs that benefit to Sora in the battle. Those cards can only be used once per battle and have the usual 0-9 numbers.

Enemy Cards: Those cards are different than the others, you only get them after defeating a special enemy (bosses always drop them) or after killing the same enemy numerous times, they will drop their card. They all have different effects that can change the battle such as higher jumps, health regeneration and more.

Trick Cards: Those cards only drop in special battles such as boss fight and once you activate it, it unleashes an attack that will leave the enemy without any defence giving you the perfect opportunity to attack. Those often drop but still be sure to use them wisely.

Premium Bonuses: Those cards are extremely rare and only drop from some enemies. When you get one of those, after your fight a screen will open showing you the possibility to upgrade one of your cards to a premium card costing less CP than the normal ones.

Map Cards: Those cards are dropped when finishing a battle most of the time and they allow you to continue in the other room. There are different world cards like red ones, blue, green and gold. Each decide what the other room is going to look like. The red ones have effects such as an increased number of Heartless while the Blue ones can have "Moment's reprieve' in which you can save the game. When going to a boss battle, you will be asked to have different cards to pass.

World Cards: Those cards are used in the beginning of a level and they allow you to choose which world you want to go to.
