    Even after trying it out, seeing a new, original mainline Mana entry in over a decade still feels unreal. Fans of the series, especially Trials of Mana, are undoubtedly in for a real treat, a genuine evolution of what has come before. The combat diversity, vibrant setting, and retooled exploration seem fulfilling in this current execution, and I'm eager to see how Visions of Mana handles this highly anticipated coalescence. As for the cast and narrative, I have no standout expectations in that conjoined realm, but the main cast is comprised of different races, providing the opportunity for memorable dynamics I'm hoping to see approach.

    @GELTONZ Місяць тому

    Not gonna stop being salty about the lack of multiplayer though...Mana was almost defined by its multiplayer co-op. Heck I remember poor Legend of Mana being SLAMMED by reviewers for being "only 2 player" and not 3 player. The fact that we so easily throw away multiplayer co-op again and again and again is legitmately heart breaking. There is a serious co-op crisis going on in gaming this past generation with so many former co-op games abandoning it and no one caring because we all live such lonely lives in the modern day. Finding something as simple as a Gauntlet-esque game for Switch is near impossible. I am deeply glad that at least Trinity Trigger exists, but I won't deny that that game is also quite disappointing in its overly simplistic mechanics. This game looks AMAZING...but I am sad.

In terms of play it safe games, it’s not the 90s anymore where games were cheaper to develop. Risks can’t really be taken as much anymore, that’s why a lot of these games are bleeding together.

    It looks great my only complaint that I hope this game fixes is the difficulty because the Trials of Mana remake (compared to the original) was way too easy, like, insultingly easy. Even on the hardest difficulty, super-bosses were a complete joke, let alone the standard mobs/bosses. At the very least, they should make the A.I reaction time faster or respond quicker to getting attack and players spam dodging out of attacks.
