In most mediums, it’s hard to visit the past. Stories, shows, movies, and games all age differently and tend to be hurt by what comes later.
Legend of Mana, the fourth entry of Square Enix’s Mana series and one of its most renowned JRPGs, is now available on mobile devices in a reworked version optimized for touch displays. Not only that, but gamers will be able to use gamepads and a cloud storage service to play the same game on many devices.
Nick from DSOGaming writes: "While the colorful worlds, endearing cast, and gorgeous soundtrack are big draws, the painfully clunky combat, maze-like environments, and obtuse quest designs make Legend of Mana an overall drag of an experience."
Twinfinite interviews Legend of Mana producer Masaru Oyamada about the remaster, also trying to catch a glimpse of the future of the series.
