It also helps that the aesthetics are immaculate. ![]() But if you’re the type of person who loves Mana so much that you’re willing to play it in mobile game format, then that’s probably good enough for you. The story scenes are just a parade of cute but vapid interactions with new and classic Mana characters. ![]() However, the story in Echoes of Mana isn’t actually good, at least not in what I had time to preview in the first three chapters. They engage in stereotypical banter and are eager to help you find the Mana Sword. But after that, in a different world, you meet two original characters: the upbeat fighter lady Duffle and cautious magician Honeycomb. You can travel to new worlds by harvesting fruit from the Mana Tree, and the very first thing you do (with no explanation before or after) is break Hawkeye from Trials of Mana out of jail. That being said, the game has a lot of short episodes that are all dialogue and contain no fighting. Your character is a silent protagonist except for when you select some simple dialogue choices, so it’s mostly other characters like Baashear doing the talking. The goddess gives him a talking magical sheep named Baashear (The game likes puns.) to guide and assist him on his journey. Maddog (or whoever) is immediately tasked by the Mana Goddess with finding the Mana Sword so he can save the world. At first startup, you immediately select which gender protagonist you would like to play as, (The one you don’t pick ends up being a separate character you meet in the story.) and then you name your character. A Pretty Excuse to Hang Out with Classic CharactersĮchoes of Mana is a gacha action RPG that contrives opportunities to throw together characters from across the franchise, in addition to a few new ones. I’ve had the opportunity to go hands-on to preview Echoes of Mana on Android, and while I can’t say it’s a grand revelation, it seems like it will satisfy its niche audience. So what’s next? Well, the year is 2022, so the answer is of course a free-to-play mobile game. The original trilogy is available on Nintendo Switch, the Trials of Mana remake sold more than 1 million copies, the Legend of Mana remaster received a fairly warm reception, and a Legend of Mana anime is even on the way.
