Sora in Borderlands

Play Borderlands GOTY Enhanced as Sora from Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, with KH1's real combos, magic, summons, Donald and Goofy, and KH1's own menus and HUD.

This is a passthrough mashup. Kingdom Hearts runs in the background at the same time, and the mod links the two games: KH1 handles the combat, animation, effects and sound, and Borderlands shows them in its own world.

What you get

• Sora's real KH1 moveset: combos, finishers, dodge roll, glide, Sliding Dash and other abilities
• KH1 magic (Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, Cure, Gravity, Stop, Aero) and the six summons
• Donald and Goofy fight next to you with their own attacks, spells and voices
• KH1's lock-on, command menu, HP/MP gauges and full main menu (Items, Equipment, Abilities...) drawn in Borderlands
• KH1 prize orbs, munny and item drops from enemies you defeat
• Your Borderlands level sets Sora's KH1 level, stats, magic, abilities, summons and Keyblades. This is temporary and in memory only, and your KH1 save file is never written.

You need

• Both games on Steam: Borderlands Game of the Year Enhanced and KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX (Steam version)
• A KH1 Final Mix save where Donald and Goofy have joined you (after the first visit to Traverse Town)
• About 25 GB free on the drive Kingdom Hearts is on, but only during the first setup

The first setup builds Sora, Donald, Goofy, the Heartless, weapons and sounds from your own KH1 install (15-30 minutes, once). No Kingdom Hearts files are included.

Options: Borderlands main menu > Mods > Sora.

Early test build: bugs and crashes are likely. Keep a copy of your Borderlands and Kingdom Hearts saves.
