Trials of Mana+

The game is a solid 2/5. It doesn’t have much to offer and it’s pretty apparent right away. The graphics are stolen straight from 1998… no one misses these styles of games- especially when the voice acting is so atrocious, you skip through the dialogue (if one could even call this games script that). So now with no dialogue you have a crappy, linear, “fight 11 monsters on your way to your destination? Skip horrible voice acting, fight 13 monsters; next destination- rinse repeat” I’d recommend skipping the game all together and just downloading FF+

This is my first playthrough, though many people have nostalgia for it. The game is polished and fun so far, with 6 different characters and 2 companions to choose from. They each have unique stories and openings, so there's lots of choice early on as to what you like to play. So happy to find it has controller support, the #1 reason I didn't previously buy it. Just wish they had a controller cheat sheet like in most games w/ it or custom mapping, but I'll take what I can get! It's not turn based, but action based. I'm not that great at fighting games in the least, but once you get used to the controls, it's pretty easy to get comfortable with. Plus you can choose your difficulty if you find it too hard. These are the types of games that make Arcade worth it. Hopefully we'll continue to see more of this series and ones like it.

I’m loving it so so so much,I’ve been playing as Kevin I think and he’s so cool.
