Trials of Mana is an 2020 action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. It is a 3D remake of the Super Famicom title of the same name, the third game in the Mana series.The story follows six possible protagonists in their respective quests, which lead them to obtain the Mana Sword and fight a world-ending threat. In gameplay, the player controls three out of six characters, navigating field environments and fighting enemies in real-time combat.
Conceived during the production of the remake for Secret of Mana amid public demand for a Western release, production began in 2017. Originally a near-direct remake with plans for multiplayer as in the original, the team instead went for a 3D single-player experience which tweaked some aspects and added content while remaining faithful overall. The soundtrack by Hiroki Kikuta was arranged by a large team, with Kikuta supervising.
Trials of Mana is an action role-playing game in which the player controls a selection of three out of six protagonists; while each begins with their own narrative, they are drawn into a single quest to defeat the Benevodons and save the Mana Tree.The game is a 3D remake of the 1995 Super Famicom title of the same name.The overall narrative and basic gameplay principles remain the same, but redesigned for a navigable 3D overworld.During exploration, the player can meet with other playable characters both before their recruitment and in various locations if they remain unselected.Upon meeting a selected playble character, the player has the option of either viewing an explanatory cutscene, or playing through that character's prologue.
The chosen player characters navigate the overworld—split between town and country environments—and fight enemies roaming it in real-time combat.During exploration, the player can find items, treasure chests and hidden areas; a common reward is lucca, the in-game currency.The party fights using light and heavy melee attacks when within range, character-specific special skills unlocked through a distinct levelling system, tiered character class skills, and combined attacks between all three characters.Fighting enemies is rewarded with experience points, which raise a character's health (HP) and magic (MP). It also earns Training Points, which are fed into specific attributes to unlock new skills. The new "Ability" system, moves and buffs dubbed abilities can be equipped to a character; Link Abilities are unlocked by more than one character sharing that ability, while Class Abilities are automatically unlocked and applied upon changing class.
During the game, the player finds various items, ranging from healing items to money and items that impact player or enemy statistics. Also found are Item Seeds, which can be planted in special pots in towns. There are different classes of Item Seed which produce better quality items, and a "Planter Level" which impacts the frequency of Item Seed drops and the quality of items.Within the environment, a recurring series character called Li’l Cactus is hidden, with finding them in each location granting rewards to the party. Once the main story is completed, a post-game storyline with its own class is unlocked, and after this is completed players can select New Game+ to carry over their level, common items, and some collectables.
The remake of Trials of Mana was announced in June 2019 at that year's Electronic Entertainment Expo for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. The game is set for worldwide release on April 24, 2020.The localization was a challenge for the team, as it required a simultaneous release in eight languages.A game demo was released across all platforms on March 18, 2020. The demo covers the opening section of the game, where the player chooses their characters and reaches the first boss fight, and allows players to transfer save data into the full game.The original Trials of Mana had received a fan translation prior to the remake's development, and the team aimed to both acknowledge and surpass their efforts.\l "
