Players can take control of any character in the party during combat and everyone from warriors to mages has a light and heavy attack, a dodge, and a “class skill” that powers up as they fight, allowing them to unleash a powerful attack that can turn the tide of a battle. At the beginning, it’s extremely simplistic. Trials of Mana ’s high point is still its battle system. There’s plenty here to explore with one campaign taking me around 20 hours to complete, with things to do that I missed, which had me jumping right back in for more. The dedication that the developers show as they retain the fantasy appeal of this classic title with updated systems is what ultimately shines during every moment of this adventure. Trials of Mana is unapologetically traditional and, yet, still makes itself accessible to all JRPG fans, both new and old. These elements, as well as the excellent late-SNES-era sprite work, made the title a favorite in the Mana series. These features are still in Trials of Mana, so fans need not be worried about that.
Players were also able to choose their main character, out of the six heroes, resulting in different narrative beats for each. The game was praised among fans at the time for improving on the battle system found in Secret of Mana and for the branching character classes that made every playthrough feel different. Fans have been asking for this one, and now Trials of Mana-the remake's rebranded title-has hit the streets, and reviews are coming in.įor the longest time, the only way for many fans outside of Japan to play the Super Famicom version of Trials of Mana was through an English fan translated ROM.
