Visions of Mana

I was really grooving on the first fourth of the game, but after the guy who's obviously going to be a huge ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ does all that stuff and screws up everything for the rest of the game, it really drops off hard. I felt stupid for wondering what the actual main villain's motivations were, because it just turned out to be "Whoa he's just like the protagonist, but he couldn't control his rage and absolutely refuses to attempt to stop being a huge ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for even a second when the party members are trying to be as reasonable as they can with a towering ape!" great, thanks. Combat also got really, really stale once I found out that moon class Morley is the best in the game because you press and hold Y, and everything in front of him will die. It felt like this game needed more time in the oven, but the studio didn't have any time to spare because Square rapidly lowered the sword of Damocles hanging above their head to the point that they had to release the game once they felt the tip on their neck, only to be swiftly decapitated the moment all was said and done. Here's an entire shop with its own special currency, and for most of the game it has complete garbage to sell. 800+ coins,…

Vision of Mana.....I never eyed a bottle of liquor as hard in my life, after finishing this chore of a game.

no ultrawide support in 2026. not worth it without that

Somewhat short story but a good one. fun mechanics

TLDR: This is not a good game. This game has nothing but problems. First, very bad combat. Magic is weak, and enemies have huge health bars, poorly telegraphed attacks and hitscan attacks, movement is very, very slow, enemies dodge and fly about out of reach constantly, making fighting in melee 90 percent chasing enemies down, so, not fun. On top of that, only SOME of the weapons are good. Short enemy telegraph windows mean all the slow weapons are just bad, so most characters only have 1 or 2 good classes, period. Story is F grade. Meaning it would be better if it was not here. I actually think this game was written by AI, because nothing that happens is contextual to anything else. Things just...happen, then are resolved in unrelated ways, without meaningful explanation. Crucial items are given to you by random strangers, who have no other relevance. Characters have no emotions, no convictions, they serve whatever purpose the game needs them to. They are, at best, inconsistent, flat stereotypical archetypes. World Design: This world is way too big for the utter lack of any real content to be found within it. As a long time fan of the Mana series, I heard this game was going t…

As someone who played the original Secret of Mana on SNES, I am quite impressed with what they created here with this franchise. The devs definitely keep the same feeling of wonder and discovery the original had.
