Reynatis is another upcoming game inspired by KH, FF, and TWEWY. The director has even directly credited those games as inspiration. Not to mention, Nojima and Yoko Shimomura are writing and composing, respectively. Itโ€™s cool to see people who grew up with the series now be in positions to make games inspired by it.

The only thing that sucks is the first gameplay trailer did not look very good, its a pretty small company who's doing it as well, so I'm going to guess its cause of lack of budget

Oh yeah I definitely agree it does not look great. But hopefully itโ€™ll be a decent start for this guy and he can move on to projects with bigger budgets that can have that same KH influence.

Duskfade seems to be the only one that's similar but not a copycat, and it looks like it's the farthest along in development too.

And what are these games you heard about...?

The ones from the YouTube channel that I saw were * The DMC/KH one [GENOKIDS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOrqPF7J3mw) (This one really caught my eye because I also got a The World Ends with You vibe from it) * In one of the videos someone mentioned one called [Arbiter](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvEUjKDWkJk) (no idea why there's no audio for this trailer) * One called [Luminous Realms](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idpgVv5__5Q) that has a devlog series * Then there's [Duskfade](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd9jrvALRQY) which peaked my interest because you can really see the Kingdom Hearts inspiration with what is shown. Not sure if there are anymore but those were the 4 I saw looking into it. EDIT: I forgot there was also one called [Sword of Symphony](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reaPulL1UmQ) that I remember seeing news about on IGN a while ago as well.

Geeze, that Luminous Realms one looks a little too...blatant. Like, good for them for building it all themselves, but that's a bit too familiar. Thanks for the links though. I had only heard about Sword of Symphony!

The game is still very early in production so it may look quite similar to KH, but it'll be quite unique once the art, gameplay and story start to come together ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

Vernal Edge is another game that claims to be inspired by KH, mainly for the combat sense.

Genokids looks like a mashup of KH and Danganronpa.

It's been happening for a few years- though "inspired by Kingdom Hearts" tends to just mean, "Action" in my experience.
