After 15 years a completely new entry into the long running Mana series is here but does it stack up as a decent Action RPG? Well yes, I believe it does!

Big thanks to Square Enix for the Review copy!

The simple fact that the game shows the character wearing the armor is a plus for me. Love it when JRPGs do that. They're so rare.

I just love how videogamey this videogame is, with that charming art direction, gameplay and traversal, its just so colorful and beautiful

Thank you for being honest about this game, I’m excited now! Gamespot can go to hell

As I said before, this is really great to hear. Some people were really being hard on this game for no reason, including popular streamer Vinesauce who says it's just "alright" and how hard it is to play Visions of Mana after he played Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. And it's like dude... expecting a B game series like Mana to be as high budget and crazy as Final Fantasy Remake/Rebirth, let alone Final Fantasy 16, is a bit absurd. I just compare this to any other game in the Mana series, and so far this looks to be the most replayable and content-rich Mana game to date! Also Flammie is wonderful and I'm glad to see him/her return, and Ramcoh being just a little dragon in your party, makes this dragon lover super happy. <3

Unfortunately as of right now, the studio that developed visions of mana has now been closed down. Very sad times indeed.

Will definitely buy this… after I come home from London. Been a huge Mana Fan for years, all started with 90’s SECRET OF MANA for the Super Nintendo.

Its colorful beautiful. Exploration looks easy and enjoyable. Fighting looks cool. It looks > 8/10 for me

The studio got shut down on the day of release.
This saddens me...

My first game into Mana series was Legend on Mana so I had a real low opinion of series. I decided to try Trials of Mana and boom ..Hooked! I downloaded Visions of Mana straight away. I love Square Enix games as it is.

I'm not gonna lie, after watching your first video on it I decided to give the demo a try and let's just say... I ended up preordering it 😂

I've never really been a tales of mana fan, heard about but didn't really get into it, but when I tried the demo I really fell in love with it. The combat was a little confusing at first but once you get used to it, it feels super satisfying and fun to mess around with. And the characters I did see were likeable and charming. I gotta say, this game surprised me too! Props to Square for that!

I got to play this at Gamescom last week and sure does look gorgeous and it is very very charming. Combat and movement did feel a bit slow but it was mostly me getting used to it and being thrown into a demo without much explanation

[KaizAmari]

Look perfect to being played on Steam Deck

[incrediblehak]

Is there any cool/badass/edgy character designs in this game or are they all just sunshine and rainbows?

[HeyShotgun]

It’s a challenging game . The challenge being powering through the English voice actors performance… but everything is beautiful in the game

[StevenBryceWroten]

This looks so charming. Thanks for highlighting it!

[Chrisbajs]

Gamespot gave this 5 out of 10. How can reviewers be so conflicted? It's impossible to make up one's mind without playing it oneself.
