Initially released in Japan in 1993, Secret of Mana took the world by storm with its innovative real-time battle system and gorgeously rendered world. It continues to stand out among other action RPGs for its seamless gameplay that anyone from beginner to veteran can enjoy.One of the most memorable elements of the Mana series is the Ring Command menu system. With the single press of a button, a ring-shaped menu appears on the screen, where players can use items, change weapons, and do a variety of other actions without needing to switch screens. This Ring Command menu system for which the Mana series is so well known was first introduced in Secret of Mana and has since appeared in most games in the series.
Play as Randi and his two companions, Primm and Popoi, as they adventure all around the world. At the center of our epic story is the mystical power of Mana. Battle the empire in its quest for control of Mana. Befriend the eight elementals who wield the forces of nature itself. Numerous encounters await at every turn.
This game supports peripheral controllers.

There are a lot of softlocks. These softlocks make you invulnerable, unable to hit enemies, and enemies like the final boss are unable to be targeted with important sword attacks. I never had the pleasure of finishing this game from my childhood. So, I figured why not buy this version. Well, I made it to the end of the game, but cannot finish, which is disappointing to say the least.

I played this game so much as a child it was an amazing find when I had a long haul flight coming up and needed some entertainment. Imagine my extreme frustration when I opened the game ready to pass the time in nostalgia-ville and I'm presented with a "can't validate purchase of game" error due to me being offline! Game is 100% unusable if it cannot talk to the servers despite essentially the whole game being downloaded locally. Absolutely ridiculous IMO as other Square games work fine. Fix!!!!

Update: I increased the rating because the save system is working but the game has to install in the main storage of your phone even though the game runs just fine on a external sd card but you can't save your game. This is not the best port of the game to play but if you buy it on a sale is okay. If you want a better portable version, there's the collection of mana available on the switch that has the first 3 games in the mana series. SE please port that collection for everything.

Outstanding SoM port & a fantastic snes classic rpg. Runs very smoothly through endgame -no glitches! The onscreen controls worked very comfortably, no need for optional controller. Had a blast with this, couldnt stop playing. Graphics true to snes original but slightly spiffed up, e.g, reflections of passing clouds on the water. GORGEOUS. Very good snes art with layered pixels, made perfect for modern screens. Cheerful & bright style, with many cute details in the art. PLEASE do Seiken Desetsu3

This game is a true classic. HOWEVER! 1. The menu pops up randomly when I haven't touched the menu screen. Annoying. 2. When I hold down the attack button, sometimes my character attacks multiple times instead of charging the attack. Not sure if this is just my phone or it is fixable from the developer's side. Edit: second phone does the same thing sometimes. 3. The AI is terrible. Please being back the AI system of the SNES version, where we can determine the frequency of attacks and the distance by which they attack. The AI just love to get killed or be useless. At least for the beginning of the game.

One of my SNES favs. The port only gets 3 stars. I'm running a Note 10, which emulates PS2, Wii, PSP, and everything else flawlessly with high settings. However, this port is a choppy mess. It feels like I'm trying to run the game on an old Nokia brick. The on-screen controls constantly clash with a controller, many times resulting in having to close the app to regain control. If they would just add an option to completely disable the on-screen controls it would improve this app substantially.

Loved it years ago on the SNES, so I figured why not? Well this is why not: The graphics are choppy anytime you move around, controls are clunky, and there is a lovely bug where if you are hit, there's a good chance that you'll be locked in place for a while, still able to take more hits. This becomes a huge problem when your fighting two enemies who corner lock you and drop.you all 200 hp, plus the extra 200 you gained by using a healing item, killing you with no way to stop it. Literally. Zero. Ways. Out.

I'd give it five stars if it was a direct port. A few of the most important aspects have been disabled. For example when you pause in the snes version to use magic you can pause as many times as you want... In this version it stops you for a second which allows bosses to kill you, so unbelievably frustrating, you lose a player with full mp because you couldnt pause in time!! Better off with an snes emulator
