unlabelledView post →Let me just walk you through a very real scenario to show you how clunky this game can be... You find a weapon in a chest in the field! Ooh wow very cool! BUT. You just bought that same weapon from the store. Uh oh. So, this game restricts you from having multiple of the same equipment items for some reason, and so, you will have to take a few steps to even loot the chest so it's marked open on your map. 1. You travel to town to sell the weapon you have (because you cannot drop/destroy…

unlabelledView post →this is an amalgam of many games I've disliked but I'm choosing Visions of Mana for it because I have no qualms about beating up on it publically: You can do everything 'right' and have a robust set of core systems, but if they feel the exact same across a 60 hour game it will still feel flat

unlabelledView post →I really wish we could give games something in between recommended and not recommended on Steam, because while this game definitely has elements some will appreciate it, it's really hard to "recommend it" to any but a very particular crowd. Essentially, this game is very mid. It's the kind of game that would have been considered good 20 years ago, but we've all grown to expect more from the genre, especially from Square Enix. On the positive side, this game is aesthetically an absolute gem. A…

unlabelledView post →Visions of Mana was a great game that really needed a Switch version at launch. Unfortunately, Ouka Studios was reportedly being shut down by NetEase. Reminds me of Hidemaro Fujibayashi joining Nintendo formally after Flagship was shut down.

unlabelledView post →Well i was going to give this game a positive review until at the final boss second form i got the famous glitch where the boss just stands there. You can not finish the game, reloading has no effect as it seems to be a bug within the save file. 40 hours wasted on a bug that should never happen. BEWARE OF THIS BUG BEFORE BUYING THE GAME!!!!!!!

unlabelledView post →This game is over a year old now and even though I bought this game on release I just now forced myself to finish it. I found myself reading excerpts about the endings of other mana games, conversations that people are having about decade old games; because those games had much stronger story lines with much deeper and themes. The story sucks. The characters aren't very interesting or well developed. The combat and platforming is so-so and doesn't evolve much throughout the span of the game.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Shame on Square Enix for giving this project to NetEase for development. JRPGs is definitely not their forte. I played Trials of Mana fairly recently and compared to that, this game is missing a lot despite being a follow up to Dawn of Mana. To start, the story is extremely paint by numbers and bland, you'll be able to guess what happens next because of how corny the script is. The dubbed voice acting is terrible and sounds AI generated so you'll want to turn on JP voices. Once you've played…

unlabelledView post →Bland story, bland characters, hell even the post-game is bland. The AI of the party members is set to 'stupid' at all times, as they don't dodge attacks or even attempt to do so, and the class system they attempted to implement doesn't exactly feel like there's any major advantage beyond your Class Strike types. Since pretty much only your damage matters and strategy isn't really a thing as you can just mash your way to victory, you pretty much just go for whichever class has the biggest…

unlabelledView post →Basically running off map markers. World feels very generic, the open areas are too large and not very immersive. Melee combat is boring, usually it’s just button mashing and not seeing anything because of too many effects. The worst part is about the dialogues. Writing is bad, dialogues are lengthy, characters talk way too much while travelling or fighting telling you only information you already know, but the worst is that side quests have no voice overs, not even for the main characters.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros : - The game world is beautiful Cons : - Combat is very shallow. - The last 4 chapters drag on. - The english dub leaves a lot to be desired, which intern makes the story very boring. - Low enemy verity. I regret buying this game...

unlabelledView post →Square Enix’s goal with this entry is clear: bring back the charm, warmth, and elemental fantasy that define the Mana series, but present them with modern action-RPG gameplay and lush visuals. The story follows Val, a young Soul Guard chosen to escort his childhood friend on a pilgrimage tied to the world’s fate. What starts as a simple ceremony becomes a larger conflict involving the weakening Mana Tree and threats to the world’s natural harmony. The plot uses familiar JRPG…
