There’s the new widescreen perspective for Legend of Mana, which works quite well on the Switch. And it is definitely everywhere with this remaster. One is having access to an entry that people might have missed. These both feel like anti-frustration features in a game that could otherwise confound people.īut the appeal here lies in two things. Which again, is quite handy if you’re unsure about artifact placement or what to do after starting certain events. This is especially handy when attempting to find the trigger for an event or correct path through an area. You can turn off normal enemy encounters. It is still lacking when it comes to tutorials.įortunately, two mechanics unique to the remaster can make those elements easier to deal with. Also, Legend of Mana is very much a game that tends to leave you to your own devices when figuring out concepts.
For example, when Duelle is telling you how to attack, the buttons you’d use to perform might be absent. Though, there are some elements that don’t exactly work as you might expect. And if you want to find every bit of plot, you either will have to do a lot of roaming around or find a guide. It’s freeform in a way many SaGa games are. As you do, you trigger more events and see major and minor affairs that offer a better idea of what’s going on. You collect these items as you go about adventures and stumble into other peoples’ stories. Legend of Mana is set in a world where its lands were saved and stored as artifacts following a major war. Which is good, because the general concept throws protocol right out the window. In many ways, it is comforting in its familiarity. If you have a friend nearby and an ally, they can control the second player. You can build up a gauge to perform special moves. It is an action-RPG where you can trigger combos with light and powerful attacks to deal damage and stun.
Given Legend of Mana is a Mana series game, certain elements remain consistent. It’s about relationships and restoration. It’s a look at what happens when two siblings fight against each other in the name of different causes. It’s the tale of friends who are pulled in different directions because of conflicts between their races and roles.
This is the story of survivors of a race that’s going extinct. While you’re undoubtedly a hero and someone rebuilding the world, it often feels like you aren’t the focus. Rather than one story, Legend of Mana is the tale of many people figuring out how to get by and managing varying relationships after devastating tragedies and events. While it doesn’t exactly address every issue present in the original game, it looks amazing and includes some features that might ease frustrations.
Fortunately, that means Legend of Mana is getting its own moment on the Switch, PS4, and PC with a remaster. It’s an opportunity for new appreciation.
