Kingdom Hearts: Signs of Zodiac is a fanmade game made by DarKingdomHearts. It plays similar to the previous installments of the game, though including more options for the player.
The story takes place many years after Sora and his friends defeated Master Xehanort for good. Sora is about 45 years old now. There was peace in the universe. The worlds remained to be connected and for most worlds the fact that there were other worlds besides there's became normal. However when a new Organization rises, 7 heroes come to fufill a task given by King Mickey. But find out that their quest is actually a lot more dangerous than thought.
Gameplay
Kingdom Hearts: Signs of Zodiac makes use of the favored Deck Command used in the recent installments. The Command Deck is seperated into three parts; Attack, Magic, Items and Summon Commands. In all the sub-decks a limited amount of abilities can be placed, even for the summons. Of course there are also Action Commands which include movement, defense and reprisal commands.
You can interact with the triangle button, which mostly is for talking, opening chests and similar things. The X button allows you to preform the selected option in the Deck Command. The square button is used for defense and similar commands while the circle is used for other special commands.
A set of new spells have been added like the Water collection and the powerful spell Ardor. Almost all of the previous special abilities return. Every character has their own special ability. One has shotlocks while the other has Limit Breaks. Your team consist out of 7 characters, 8 if you're in a world with a party member. You are able to select who you are fighting as, but the other teammates in play will also level up. Like every game it is three party members max. However at the moments that the team splits up you can switch between the two stories at save points.

Worlds and Characters

|
Ascot Carver
Ascot's defining trait is that he cares about people. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it doesn't, but the young Keyblader would not think of changing this characteristic. He's also afraid that people might look down upon him for his young age, but the example of Sora and other young heroes has allowed him to face that fear, although it could be brought back by negative interactions with others. However, if faced with a threat to innocents, the boy's passions help him to take courage and defend those under threat, even at the cost of great pain and injury, or perhaps even death.
Joshua Tamashii
Joshua is a loner, a trait possibly brought on by his teacher Squall 'Leon' Leonheart. He firmly beleives in helping others, though his method is to do so while doing things by himself. That being said he won't refuse help or refuse to help someone when the situation calls for it. While Joshua remains calm on the outside he is actually very short tempered but can keep his anger contained. However because of his short temper he is prone to almost falling into darkness on occasion, which is possibly another reason he prefers to travel and do things alone.
Thomas Delatori
Thomas is generally a happy go lucky guy. He's curious about stuff he doesn't know, a bit bookish. While happy, he generally doesn't initiate contact with people, figuring if they want to talk they will approach him first. He has a good imagination, which helps for improvising in fighting. He likes to avoid confrontations, and will generally disengage or give in if he gets in an argument.
Amaya Nanashi
Amaya was often described as 'pure of heart' she is the type that will help whoever she can as she often did back in radiant gardens. She blames herself when others get hurt around her because she was there and she couldnt do anything to stop them from beig harmed. She is very much the type that will get in harms way or give up her own freedom to make sure everyone has a chance to live and be free. She is a very quite girl and never seem to fade within darkness but shines brightly. As she had once said ' if I must dive into the darkness to help others see the light, so be it"
Reno
Reno is very...eccentric. He often says and does weird things at random, not caring at all who is watching or listening. Even with his weird actions though he is pretty intelligent and does and says intelligent things when he isn't being weird, which is only in rare circumstances. Despite his odd behavior Reno is a pretty nice kid. He likes being around other people and doesn't mind talking to people, even if those people are being mean and unfriendly. He is also always eating something as he gets hungry when he uses his magic. He however has a mysterious split personality which is more serious and seems to be more powerful.
Durandal Kusanagi
Calling Nagi care free is a understatement to say the least; he would prefer to get drunk than to have meaning fights and even more so to just relax at home. He will often joke about such matters that even place peoples lives in danger, believing that if they are going to save them anyway whats the point in being upset about it now? He always wants to play the part of the hero and can be seen as arrogant. Despite this rather cocky and laid back behavior he has this sense of importance around him, like a wise old man who knows more than he is telling people, and with that comes weight within both his words, but when push comes to shove he lets his actions speak louder than he ever could.
Belle
Belle is a thief, and like most thief she is sneaky and cocky and also very stubborn. She does what she wants, mainly because there isn't even someone to order her around. Her parents were lost long ago so she grew up on her own resulting in her current behavior. Although she is cocky and stubborn she is not selfish. When there is someone in danger she will rescue that person, even if it means losing what she stole, but she has become so good that it rarely happens.
Xajsouh
Being the Nobody of Joshua, Xajsouh is completely devoid of emotions, or at least should be. Thanks to his original still being around he is able to experience emotions to a small degree though no as strongly as normal denizens of the worlds. The exception to this is anger, which he seems to experience very easily and that affects his actions, leading many to say he has a hot-headed personality. In combat though he is completely devoid of emotion and simple aims to destroy or defeat the person(s) in front of him.
Maxaya
Maxaya is the Nobody of Amaya who was created in a similar way as that Naminé was created. She is a special Nobody however not much is known about her.
