Refreshing. That's the best way I can put it. Are you tired of modern action RPGs constantly making their combat systems Dark Soulsian? Do you like being able to attack your enemies with light and heavy attacks without having to worry about managing stamina? Do you like it when you level up and you actually feel a difference in your character's power and it's not just a minor stat increase? Then Trials of Mana is a game you should check out. It has been so long in the modern age of gaming when I last felt the feeling of "Ah. A video game." Trials of Mana gave me that feeling. And I wasn't even expecting it. I picked this game up on a whim just because I heard it was decent little remake of a game from the 90s that I never played. I never played any of the Mana games, but here I sit with over 100 hours into this singular game. This game was so good to me, I bought it on Steam, the Switch, and the PS4. The last time I felt that inclined to purchase a game's multiple ports was with Resident Evil 4. Trials of Mana is not perfect (the story is.... eh. Lame. Characters are meh as well.), but the gameplay is so refreshing to me. A good little beat-em-up that doesn't limit the player. Only thing that really sets the gameplay back is the Class system - I feel the jump from Class 1 to 2 takes too long. But see, that's kinda a point in this game's favor because it left me wanting more. I wanted more Classes. More abilities to do in combat. Just generally more to play. And the New Game Plus mode.... Thank God! They don't scale up the enemies and you can actually feel like you progressed. It's not a constant uphill battle. And speaking of which, many have said this game is too easy. I don't think it's hard, but I found Hard difficulty to be just right. Not too hard, but you aren't gonna be making it far if you just spam attack all the time. You gotta dodge, use items - typical video game stuff. No surprises. Square Enix apparently thought these complaints of difficulty had merit because they patched in two additional harder difficulties - and both of them aren't really fun to play on. The enemies just take too long to kill. The gameplay becomes boring. This is what I meant about Hard mode being just right. Fights weren't exhaustive. Also, there is very little grinding needed. You may need to later on to get to level 99, but there was never a moment where I hit a wall. "Oh man, I need to grind some levels in order to beat this boss." Nah. Nothing like that. You also don't need to be a loot goblin in order to buy items/armor. I was rolling in dough fairly often. It's awesome - such good pacing. There's never a moment where you have to stall the gameplay progression because you're just too weak. Maybe that's what people are referring to when they say this game is too easy: it's too convenient. I don't know about the rest of you, but having to grind for XP and grind for money in order to buy a new weapon for a minor stat increase is not exactly fun gameplay. Its gets repetitive. Trials of Mana always has you moving on - it's pacing is fantastic. I can't think of a single section of this game where I'm like "Oh God. I don't want to do that again." It just kept on going. Trials of Mana is convenient, and I love it! I recommend this game. I recommend it especially if you have gotten quite tired of the unfortunate popular gaming trend of just turning all combat systems into some version of Dark Souls. Look, I like Dark Souls - I have put well over 500+ hours into that game - and I wouldn't even say it's a hard game. You're more likely to die from falling into a pit than the average enemy. But it's combat system needs to stay in it and stop being poorly imitated in every other damn game. Thankfully Trials of Mana did its own thing. And it works. It's satisfying. It's solid. It's reliable. Play it. Some times, it's nice to have a game you can just pop in and play. Trials of Mana is that. It's underappreciated.

A rare chance you will find me paying full price. Trials of Mana (2020) is a REMAKE of the original, it plays nothing like the original. It changes and adds a lot of things to the pre-existing story, gameplay, and systems. However, both games are incredibly good! For newer fans or more casual players, I'd recommend the REMAKE 100%, OG Seiken Densetsu games can be deceivingly hard, especially with the magic that bosses tend to use and the limited area that 2d allows in some fights. REMAKE brings a TRUE ENDING, a NEW GAME PLUS so you can keep your file going and use the other characters (basically PERFECTING a file). At the time of this review, I haven't played in awhile so I don't remember having any complaints. If I missed anything GLARINGLY bad that I don't remember, hit me with it so i might add it, IF I remember it.

This game is super fun and I love Kevin the beast man !! It is very cute and a must try for fans of action RPGs. If you get it at a discount, it's even better! Can't wait to play the new visions of mana ! I'm now a fan of the franchise (yes yes, I know, late to the party, but hey). It makes me think about the tales series too, which is good! Love the lil cactus
