Secret of Mana HD Remake Review - IGN

Fight snoring goblins and fluffy bunnies in this clumsy but cute remaster of the SNES classic.

[NecrumOddBoy]

Really doesn't look like I'm going to remake and I really hate when Square Chibis up things

[InKnight7s]

Chibi cheap 3Ds , Vita thing get only HD remake? Really? I bet Ps4 pro can run this 4K 60fps+.
Edited

[Xenophon_York]

Not too bad a score. Was afraid it'd get a six or low seven. Definitely adding this to my list since I missed the original.

[Miss_Vixen]

I rather Square remakes/releases the Parasite Eve games

[Fist4achin]

That would be awesome to resurrect that series.

[Servbot41]

Goddamn I'd love Parasite Eve 1 and 2 remakes. As long as they retcon The Third Birthday I'd be down for a proper sequel too.

[Alucard_420]

maybe even a new secret of evermore

[InTheZoneAC]

Not a fan at all of the new graphics

[Cobra951]

The voice totally kills it. I wouldn't even consider playing this remake if the voice can't be disabled entirely.

[Alucard_420]

you can use Japanese voices with English subtitles. I've been enjoying the game so far. Oh and you can also macro with the L and R makes using spells so much easier to level up.

[Brian7655492]

They managed to take a classic game and not do it justice.

[Servbot41]

Would have bought this three times had it included online co-op, but I'll stick with the SNES release I guess. Emulator programmers are apparently better at online co-op than Square Enix themselves.

[Mr Lahey]

Way to ruin one of the best games of the snes era..

[bigmalky]

Hmmm... I'll wait for a review from someone who sounds like they actually enjoy gaming and that doesn't complain about difficulty spikes that were in the original. I finished this when I was 13, so it's not that bad.

[Silly gameAr]

What have they done?

[Elda]

I have a lot of Gamestop credit so I picked it up last night, they started selling the game at 9pm.

[PygmelionHunter]

Looks good to me

[G3ng4r]

Knew this would be underwhelming from the start. Cheap colorful chibi garbage.

[Harkins1721]

The same IGN that gave God Hand a 3 and Pokémon a 7.8 because of too much water.

[Veneno]

Dude god hand is one of those "so bad its good" games. I have that game and while it is charming in a cheesy horror flick way there is so many flaws , namely the controls, that keep it from getting any kind of good score.

Your comparisons are completely apples to oranges and do not work here.

[Harkins1721]

IGN has been known for some very terrible reviews. Look at their KH reviews of the trailers. They have their most die hard fans on the game and they dont even know the names of the characters. Sure God Hand is hilarious yet they're the only site to review it so harshly.

As for Pokemon it absolutely works here. Omega Ruby is a remake and quite a damn good one. And one of their negatives was "too much water".

[MWH]

If only the game looked like the picture.
