Regular battles are quick affairs, which is balanced well by the more laborious boss battles where you have to whittle down their large health bars. The bosses are high points of the journey; they\u2019re creative, memorable, require different strategies, and let you prove your mastery of the battle system. More than a few got my adrenaline pumping. Plus, the satisfaction that comes when you finally get that last hit is divine, like when I fought atop a dragon against a three-headed beast. Unfortunately, boss battles expose your party member A.I\u2019s weaknesses. This was a huge issue in the Secret of Mana remake, and while it isn\u2019t as prevalent, it still stands as a common frustration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Having to babysit your A.I.\u2019s health isn\u2019t fun, but the worst part is that they just don\u2019t have any awareness for incoming attacks. For instance, if the enemy is launching an AoE attack, I swap characters to move my allies out of the way, and what do they do? They run straight back into the attack for deadly damage. You can adjust their tactics, but none of the options fix this. I didn\u2019t have issues with them in regular battles, but constantly healing and reviving them during boss fights is annoying \u2013 especially since the game renders you helpless to prevent it. The original Trials of Mana had co-op, which might have alleviated some of these issues, but that feature is not included in this version.<\/p>\n
While I enjoyed my time busting up baddies and scouring every inch of the land for treasures, the remake does not remove the repetition or grinding that was present in the original. The structure of the game has you going back and forth to the same dungeons. They usually have a different area or boss within them, but I would have appreciated not trekking through the same content to access them. Difficulty spikes and item hunts have you battling the same enemies and searching the depths of these areas again. The world seems wondrous at first, but all of the recycled content makes it less exciting over time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It may look more modern, but Trials of Mana is a faithful remake outside of its combat tweaks \u2013 and that isn\u2019t necessarily a good thing. But as a fan of the original, parts of this game are still charming. I adored the combat and boss fights (when my A.I. cooperated), and even with some of its repetitive nature and horrible voice acting, I didn\u2019t want to put the game down. It\u2019s a decent remake but not the fantastic one it could have been. This series has so much potential, I\u2019d just love to see it fully realized.<\/p>\n
Score: 7.75<\/h2>\n Summary: <\/b> Trials of Mana is definitely an improvement over the Secret of Mana remake, but it still comes with many of the same problems. <\/p>\n
Concept: <\/b>Remake the third entry in the beloved Mana series with new visuals, voice acting, and various gameplay enhancements <\/p>\n
Graphics: <\/b>While the classic sprites will always hold the most allure for me, the 3D graphics look decent and help bring the vibrant and inviting world to life, even if some NPC designs leave much to be desired <\/p>\n
Sound: <\/b>The new remixed tracks keep the series\u2019 essence alive, giving personality to the world and bringing intensity to battles. The voice acting feels embarrassingly phoned in, with stilted dialogue and awkward deliveries <\/p>\n
Playability: <\/b>Trials of Mana is a simple action\/RPG on the surface, but there\u2019s more to it than button mashing. Just don\u2019t expect too much guidance for the more complex parts <\/p>\n
Entertainment: <\/b>This action\/RPG excels in its fast-paced combat and intense boss battles, but a few frustrating elements ruin the enjoyment <\/p>\n
Replay: <\/b>Moderate <\/p>\n
