The different classes do feel like they could have been a little more distinct from one another, but it is nice to have the branching character paths available.I have played more than half of the Secret of Mana several times over the years, one day I’ll play the whole thing I promise. New in the Trials of Mana remake is a fourth tier that doesn’t become available until after you beat the game. These each have a light and dark path as well, offering you some options on how you want to handle each character.

Just like the original, you will be able to upgrade to a stronger class once you reach a certain level, as well as later upgrading to a third tier as well. What does help to keep the battle system fresh in the game is the class system, which allows you to upgrade your character to additional classes beyond their starting point. What can be annoying though is that you almost feel like you have to switch to them sometimes to avoid major attacks, as the AI for them is not the best. You are not stuck with just your primary character either, as you can switch to either of your other two characters at anytime in battle with a simple button press. On top of that, you also can use the bumpers to activate certain special attacks and any shortcuts you set. Magic and items can be accessed with the D-Pad, as long as you have them set to the ring that you can use in battle. B allows you to jump and Y allows you to dodge out of the way, both of which can be important in battle. Once seen, you can get right into the action by attacking with A on Nintendo Switch for a basic attack or X for a heavy attack. As you walk around the different environments found in the game, you will come across groups of enemies scattered throughout the land.

Many people may be expecting a turn based gameplay style from an SNES RPG, but the Mana series is more action oriented and Trials of Mana is no different.

This also makes it well worth playing through the game multiple times to get the full experience for each character. This was quite different from a game such as Final Fantasy VI, where you have a cast of characters that rotate throughout the game. None of them actually join the party or even stay with the party at any point, which was pretty interesting. In the case of my first playthrough, I selected Duran, Angela, and Hawkeye, but also crossed paths with Charlotte, Reisz, and Kevin at different points. She is nearly murdered by her mother under the influence of the Crimson Wizard, who also is a major antagonist in Duran’s opening story.Įach of the six main characters have their own backstory that would thrust them into the main narrative, where they can play an important or ancillary role. For instance, Angela’s story starts off in the Kingdom of Altena, where her mother rules as the queen. When you first start the game, you have to select a primary character and two secondary characters, with you instantly jumping to the beginning of your primary selection’s journey. However, you do not actually get to rotate the six characters in and out of your party during the game, but rather have to make a choice at the very start. Unlike Secret of Mana that had three playable characters, Square went double or nothing in the follow-up by increasing the number of possible playable characters to six. Even with some of the problems, the game for the most part looks just like you would want a remake of Trials of Mana to look without a giant budget. There are some issues with textures loading late in some cutscenes and the character models can be a bit questionable at times, especially when it comes to characters such as Duran that carry a sword and have it slicing through his hair very unnaturally. You should certainly not expect something on the level of say Final Fantasy VII Remake, but the visuals do look nice and colorful most of the time. This starts with the visuals, which are much more modernized than the Secret of Mana one had.

Unlike the remake for Secret of Mana that was not very well received a few years ago, Trials of Mana immediately looked like a much more full scale remake.

Longtime fans of Secret of Mana were happy to finally get their hands on Seiken Densetsu 3 last year in the Collection of Mana release, but it was hard not to be intrigued by the upcoming Trials of Mana remake at the time.
