“It is easy to spot a review from someone who sprinted through Trials of Mana on "Beginner" mode just to say they finished it. While the vibrant, Saturday-morning-cartoon aesthetic suggests a light experience, there is a…”

“This is the first Mana game I’ve played, and I’m quite impressed with it. Aside from the terrible voice acting, I think the story is still okay. I also quite like the music and graphics. I only wish the bonds between…”
“+ good remake + beautiful map & dungeon design + good music + addition story, class 4 + high re-play value + costume change + good fantasy leotard - bad camera angle in battle mode - too short air combo”

“I used to play the original Trials of Mana fan translation when I was quite a bit younger so I was happy when this one came out and hoped that they stayed fairly consistent to the first one. To my surprise they did and…”
“Game is fun to play and the banter is amazing. Though it's weird that they talk about class 4 the way they do but otherwise I love playing this game.”

“Rating: 30/100 I rage‑quit at the Zehnoa boss fight and uninstalled the game on the spot. Sure, I could have lowered the difficulty from Hard to Normal. I could have grinded a few levels. I could have micromanaged my…”

“game is not worth the full price get only on a large discount”

“It's a pretty good, Comfy Action RPG with 6 characters to play, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, and stories to boot. 6 years later, I believe this game still holds up, and is worth your time, Took me this long to Beat the game Twice, Find all of Lil' Cactus once.…”
— a player, Steam review · 55 hrs played“While the visuals of this game won't age nearly as graceully as its original counterpart (which is tragically only legally available on the Nintendo eShop), the gameplay improvements to it completely make up for any loss in visual appeal.
