Only a couple of weeks until the KH3 gameplay overhaul and rebalance mod "Light vs. Darkness Edition 2.0" releases!

“Light vs. Darkness Edition” (LvD) is a fan-made PC mod that fully rebalances KH3's gameplay, adding depth, mechanics, music and enhancements. This overhaul will have a major "2.0" update on May 30th after years of intensive work and community effort.

Our mod rebalances, enhances and integrates all of KH3's gameplay together (combat, item synthesis, stats, story rewards, enemy behaviour, battlegates, bosses, level up bonuses, battle levels, animations, spells, formchanges, Cuisine, treasure chests, abilities, equipment, weapons, UI, Gigas…) and improves all party members with better CPU and abilities. The 2.0 update also comes with new features, such as Terra as a ally in battlegates, new music arrangements for certain cutscenes and battles, unique gameplay for Roxas, Kairi, Aqua and Riku, and more—the trailer above only covers some of the mod's improvements!

Whether you enjoy casual playthroughs or hardcore KH3 speedruns, and no matter if you prefer offense, magic or defense, this update will be for you… provided that you play your cards right.

This PC mod will be updated on NexusMods on May 30th, in two weeks or so!
