Adventure Time: The Secret of the Nameless Kingdom

Adventure Time: The Secret of the Nameless Kingdom is a 2014 action-adventure role-playing game created by WayForward Technologies and released by Little Orbit. It came out on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Windows, Nintendo 3DS, and PlayStation Vita. This is the third game based on the animated series *Adventure Time*, after *Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?!!* (2012) and *Explore the Dungeon Because I Don't Know!* (2013). The story follows Finn and Jake as they uncover secrets in uncharted parts of the Land of Ooo. The game was removed from digital stores on March 31, 2018, due to licensing problems. However, the Xbox 360 version became playable on Xbox One and Xbox Series X and S through backward compatibility on November 15, 2021, and was put back on the Xbox Games Store on November 30, 2021.

The gameplay is similar to top-down *The Legend of Zelda* games, especially *A Link to the Past*. It includes dungeon crawling, sword fighting, and breakable walls. The main goal is to rescue three princesses of the Nameless Kingdom, each in a different temple. After saving the first two, Lullaby and Slumber, the third princess, Nightmare Princess, reveals herself as the villain. The player must then enter a final dungeon and defeat her to finish the game.

The story starts with Finn camping in the rain. Jake’s voice tells him to explore a nearby castle dungeon, and Jake reveals he was in Finn’s pocket. As they go through the tutorial dungeon, they remember Princess Bubblegum sent them to the Nameless Kingdom on an important mission. In the castle’s main hall, a butler tells them they must rescue the three princesses for an upcoming coronation. Finn and Jake easily save the first two, Lullaby and Slumber Princess. But after being rescued, the third, Nightmare Princess, admits she caused the disappearances and takes over the kingdom, renaming it the Nightmare Kingdom. Finn and Jake re-enter the castle, fight her, and then choose which princess to crown as ruler. Picking Lullaby or Slumber Princess gives a side ending, while choosing Nightmare Princess is the true ending.

The game was announced on May 8, 2014. It was the last console *Adventure Time* game from WayForward and the first in the series from American publisher Little Orbit.
