About Trials of Mana
Choose your protagonist and companions from six characters whose story unfolds uniquely based on your party composition, then guide them through a fully modernized 3D remake of a classic adventure to save the world from darkness. The revamped battle system combines action-focused gameplay with an expanded ability and class system that lets you build entirely different character types, complemented by a beautifully remastered soundtrack with 60 tracks you can swap between original and new arrangements.
This overlapping story of interwoven destinies changes depending on who you choose as your main character and companions! Will these young adventurers be able to use the power of mana to save the world from the brink of destruction?
When the world was shrouded in darkness, the Goddess of Mana drew forth the Sword of Mana to smite the eight Benevodons, monsters of destruction. She sealed the horrors inside the eight Mana Stones, bringing the realm back from the brink. Weakened from rebuilding the world, the Goddess changed herself into a tree and fell into a deep sleep for many years. However, the forces of evil soon sought to free the Benevodons to gain control of the world. They started a terrible war to further their plot and destabilize the kingdoms. Peace was at an end. Mana itself began to disappear from the world and the Mana Tree started to wither...

It's a wonderful re-imagining of Seiken Densetsu 3, faithful to the story and original difficulty. Unfortunately that story is kind of doodoo, and the game is easy. But it's okay. The vibes more than make up for it, *especially* backed by a killer remastered soundtrack. New Game+, backed by Expert and No Future difficulties, add to the original's high replay-ability. Some nitpicks: - English VO direction quality isn't consistently good. They're setup for failure by a bad script, but a lot of the reads feel too disconnected from their scenes. We're talking frequent "oh no. watch out." levels of energy when the stakes should be higher; that kind of thing. By remaining faithful to the original story, which I do believe is the right call, the script is very 90s-villains-are-cartoonishly-evil levels of Not Good. I still preferred it over the JP voices, hard for me to say why. - Ultrawide isn't really supported, but if you play ultrawide, you're likely aware many games don't. There are workarounds. I prefer windowed mode (it's naturally borderless) + PowerToys always on top.
great game
Not too bad. Maybe a bit childish for my tastes but I still had my fun. Post-game content is really bad though, it's all recycled maps and ennemies with a little twist.
It game is to boing to play like story is ♥♥♥♥ gameplay is ♥♥♥♥ don't buy it game
I absolutely loved it! One of the greatest remakes I have ever played! Highly recommend to anyone who's a fan of Action RPGs!
Do you love bread and butter? is your favourite flavour vanilla? Basically this game BUT that's not a bad thing! Sometimes a game just has to be nothing more than playable and it sure can be played.
