The Remaster is the latest in some PS1 classic RPGs getting some real through love in their remaster, the first being Saga Frontier. If you are willing to put the time in, you can seriously make your life easier with these powerful side activities and I remember when I played this early on in life I dumped some SERIOUS hours into them, I loved it!Īll of that aside, this is a review of the new remaster, I just wanted to hook you a bit with how GOOD the game is on its own.
Surprisingly in depth, Crafting weapons, making robots and programming their attack abilities and behavior through a unique tetris like system, growing fruits and veggies, hatching and raising monsters to fight besides you and all of these systems weave together a bit as well. Of course, being an RPG from the PS1 era in particular, there is a TON of things you can do to make you and your party stronger. As you use those, you will begin to learn special attack techniques as well that you can use when you fill a particular gauge up to devastate your enemies with big damage, wide range or both! You also have access to musical instruments that you can find or make yourself that give you all kinds of cool magical spells that can do TONS of things. You can learn various abilities to supplement your attacks, they can range from taunting enemies, single, double and high jumps, grapple attacks that do damage and more. This freeform gameplay combined with some seriously tight action RPG gameplay with a TON of weapon types lets you really branch out every time you pick the game up and find something new to love. There is very little overarching narrative in this game beyond a few quest lines that are multiple entries long, but it does have fantastically written standalone quests that will have you doing everything from discovering ancient wisdom, hunting down treasure, learning entirely new languages or even just an excuse to go beat up some baddies and get some treasure! This is both a strength and a weakness if you ask me, and it’s a very polarizing aspect of the game.įor me though, it keeps every single playthrough feeling fresh! I love that I can tackle things in different orders, and you will see some quests and characters influencing other events in the world depending on the order you do them in. Contained within these are lots of towns, dungeons and more for you to explore and get to know all the unique residents of this world, as well as the story they have to tell. In LoM, you will basically create the world you play in via the Land Make system where you use powerful artifacts to bring back parts of the world on a large grid where their placement will influence lots of things like certain events, power of certain elemental spells and the general difficulty of the world.

LoM took the generally linear gameplay that the Mana series had thus far, and completely turned it on its head, giving near complete control to the player and how they tackle what the game has to offer. It is the fourth entry in the Mana series that the beloved SNES game Secret of Mana is a part of as well, but for me Legend of Mana was the first exposure to the series. It was a game that a lot of people felt very strongly in their like or dislike for the title, but over the years it has seemed the reception has turned to generally positive in retrospect. This is an interesting one for sure, Legend Of Mana had its North American release June 6th 2000 on the Playstation.

MonsterVine was supplied with a Nintendo Switch code for review Cleaned up visuals and music are always a plus, but it does little to address some of the biggest issues the game had to begin with, unlike its predecessor.
Legend of Mana Remastered is the latest PS1 RPG to get a very thorough remastering, and it has a lot of people rooting for this to be another good one.
