Trials of Mana, the 3D remake of Seiken Densetsu 3, is now available on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam!
The classic RPG has been rebuilt into a completely new experience for fans of the 1995 game and for players today who never experienced the popular Square Enix title. It’s been modernized with better graphics, character voiceovers, and a remastered soundtrack. And those are just the supporting elements. The gameplay has been reinvigorated with a narrative episode that follows the game’s ending, a redesigned ability system, and an updated leveling system for the game’s characters.
The defense of the Sword of Mana has never been this intense.
Here’s the story in Trials of Mana:
When the world was shrouded in darkness, the Goddess of Mana drew forth the Sword of Mana to smite the eight Benevodons, monsters of destruction. She sealed the horrors inside the eight Mana Stones, bringing the realm back from the brink. Weakened from rebuilding the world, the Goddess changed herself into a tree and fell into a deep sleep for many years.
However, the forces of evil soon sought to free the Benevodons to gain control of the world. They started a terrible war to further their plot and destabilize the kingdoms. Peace was at an end. Mana itself began to disappear from the world and the Mana Tree started to wither...
And if you’re unsure about the game, Square Enix has a demo available for players to download. So there are no excuses for not trying out the classic RPG.
Trials of Mana is out now.
