Kingdom Hearts 3D (Dream Drop Distance) is another one of the many Kingdom Hearts spinoffs developed between Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts III and is the seventh instalment of the Kingdom Hearts series.
Dream Drop Distance was released exclusively for the Nintendo 3Ds in Japan on March 29, 2012 with releases in the rest of the world a few months later.
The game takes place after Kingdom Hearts Re:coded and the focus of the game is on Sora and Riku?s Mark of Mastery exam. During the game you have to protect various parallel worlds as you wait for the return of Master Xehanort.
The gameplay is an expansion of the gameplay in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and takes advantage of the 3D features of the Nintendo 3DS.
The game was released in the Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue collection for the Sony PlayStation 4.
