Japanese action-adventure in a world where dreams are real. The protagonist must fuse with nightmare creatures to progress. The charming dreamlike world and varied gameplay compensate for underdeveloped story. An endearing niche title, available in Japanese only.

Description
A Zelda-inspired action-adventure released in 2002 by Matrix Software and SCEI. Young Rumble and his dream-creature friend Tumble explore a dreamworld with an ally-monster capture mechanic, in a very GBA-flavored children's atmosphere. Stayed under the radar despite its strengths.

Collector interest

A Zelda-inspired action adventure by Matrix Software and SCEI, Dual Hearts blends exploration of dream worlds with the capture of allied monsters in a warm atmosphere. Kept exclusive to Japan and Asia and overlooked despite its qualities, it enjoys a small aura of a forgotten gem among fans of obscure Japanese adventures. Its desirability rests on that quiet cult status and the absence of a Western release.
