![]() ![]() You can also dodge enemy strikes with the square button. On the PS4, you can start combat with them by either pressing the circle button for weak attacks or the triangle button for strong attacks. As you walk around the forests of the game, you’ll come across multiple varied enemies. ![]() The combat is fast and responsive while also being easy to keep up with.Īnother thing about combat is its simplification, sure it lacks a bit of depth, but its combat system does its job well enough. While most JRPGs will have you use turn-based combat, The Trials of Mana series uses real-time action with simplistic yet flashy combos and moves, so you won’t have to go into multiple menus for each and everything you do. Gameplay-wise, the game plays incredibly well. You can also switch between the original and remade soundtrack in the settings, which I appreciated. Other than the amazing 3D visuals, the music also complements the retro JRPG feel reminiscent of the original games. The game also includes a day and night cycle, whereby each day favorably affects a specific type of magic you can use. The menus are beautiful, well detailed, and easy to navigate, as well as not being too complicated or overwhelming. One of the first things you’ll notice when playing Trials of Mana is how the game slaps you in the face with its newly remade visuals. This narrative design is quite interesting and makes things simplified while adding some replay value as well. Playing through the game, you’ll also run into the three other characters, but won’t at any point, join your party. These sections are pretty short but are long enough to flesh out the character’s story. A good thing about this system is how it allows you to play through the memories of your secondary characters as a recap of sorts to know how they got there and what their motivation is. Once you pick your desired character and go through their story, you’ll move on to the first town where you’ll eventually meet your two secondary characters and form a full team. Each character has their own motivations and goals, and they each also play differently with their own respective classes, moves, and type of weapons. What team you choose depends on how your story will start, as with every character you choose in each playthrough, the story will play out a little differently as well. Specifically, a primary character and two secondary characters. The game starts you off with selecting three of the six available characters in the game. Trials of Mana is set in a high fantasy world and follows three central heroes as they attempt to claim the legendary Sword of Mana and prevent the Benevodons powerful magical creatures that were sealed years before, from being unleashed and destroying the world. With the first two games in the series already out, the third one, however, seeks to set the bar high amongst the others with its visual overhaul, newly remade soundtrack, and overall having more content than the original. With the legacy and success of the Seiken Densetsu games in Japan, otherwise known as Trials of mana in the west, Square Enix finally decided to remake the games and release them in the west. ![]()
