A great game back in the day. Yes, it has some annoying things like analyze text is being overwritten and some other stuff that could have been fixed. But the local multiplayer is so awesome. Just plug in another Controller and you are already in. It would be epic to see Secret of Evermor in the future!

tl;dr: The original base game is great. This remake is *okay,* but it is far too flawed to be worth the 40 bucks they're charging for it. Only buy this if it's on sale, but if it is on sale for a price that you find agreeable, by all means snatch it up if you are a fan of the original (or even just the genre). I first played the original Secret of Mana in like 1995 or something when I was but a young lad. It's a very very solid 16-bit era action RPG, and it is widely regarded as one of the great classics of that era; Secret of Mana has been one of those games that I re-play once every couple of years for the last three decades. Thus, imagine my surprise and excitement upon learning of this remake of one of my all-time childhood favorites. So, naturally, I bought this game, and I played through it. My feelings about this remake are... Mixed. Do I like it? Yes. But while it does many things right, it also has so, so, so many flaws. Fortunately, many of the flaws lay in the details, rather than in the meat of the game itself. I'll start off with the most important part gameplay. The gameplay is good! It plays well with a controller, which is, in my opinion, really the best way to enjoy these kinds of games. The updates to the feel of gameplay are very minor, so it still mostly feels like the old classic--movement and combat are no longer limited to strictly orthogonal and diagonal axes, which seems like a minor detail, but does kind of make things overall feel a bit more fresh and updated (compared to the original). I do think it feels just a bit easier than the original game for some reason, which is saying something, because Secret of Mana was never a difficult game at all. I'm not sure exactly why it feels a bit easier, but the slight reduction in challenge does not really make the game any less fun; I'm giving Squenix a pass on that one. I do like a challenge in my games, but they don't always need to be ball-breakers either. Sometimes it's nice to just kind of breeze through something and have a more relaxing experience. One thing I've seen in the reviews here is a few comments about bugs. Personally, I didn't really have a problem with bugs. The game did crash like once or twice on me during my play-through, but it was quick enough to just restart, load the last save, and pick back up where I left off. I think there was a patch early on that fixed a lot of the bugs, so I may have just missed them. Of course, your mileage will vary based on hardware, such is the nature of the beast in PC gaming. Now... The graphics. Ooh boy, the graphics. I will say they got the art style right. The colors, the character design, it all comes together quite nicely and works very well as a refresh of the original game. However, the graphical fidelity seemed out-of-date even for the time that this remake came out. Now mind you, I started gaming in the NES era and I'm still quite fond of that style, I'm really not one to be super concerned about top-of-the-line graphics or anything; hell, a lot of the games I play are quite low-rez, and I still go back and play a lot of old classics and I very much appreciate the style of classic games, and I do love a good low-fidelity graphical style when done right. But this isn't really what I expect from an industry powerhouse like Squenix, especially when they're asking for $40 for the game. I'm not expecting a visual masterpiece or anything, but I really do feel like they could have just done a bit more here, the visuals, while not horrible, just really have an unpolished feel to them, which is a real shame. It just feels like they didn't quite give it the love it really deserved and the visuals were an afterthought; they did one of their classics dirty, which is a bad look for the company. It's a $40 game with $20 visuals (and I'm being really generous there). And finally... The sound. We'll start with the good parts! All dialog is updated from the original. I do think the writing tweaks actually work quite well, and based on my understanding, the writing is brought a little closer to the original script. Also, all lines are voice-acted. Is the voice acting amazing? No! In fact, it's a little corny at times! But that's fine, it doesn't need to be a masterpiece; the voice acting is perfectly cromulent, and a welcome addition to the game that adds a little bit more personality. Every single line is voice acted, and you can tell the voice actors are, in fact, professionals. They did add some extra content in the form of additional dialog. Most of this triggers when you use an inn to restore your characters. And by "some extra content," I do mean *quite a bit, actually.* It's a little cheesy at times, but that's fine, and there really is quite a lot of new dialog. It's fun, it helps flesh out the characters a bit more, and I enjoyed it. The sound effects are all fine, nothing really major to talk about there, they sure are sound effects and get the job done. No complaints there. And... The soundtrack. The music. The thing that can add ambiance and soul to the gaming experience. You have the option of choosing between the original SNES soundtrack or a new updated soundtrack. The original SNES soundtrack was quite good for its time and and the technology that supported it. It still has a huge following and if you go on YouTube and search for it, there are a ton of videos of people covering the Secret of Mana soundtrack with real instruments, and some of them are just fucking awesome. Like, really, awesome. And, unfortunately, the game also includes a "new" "improved" "updated" soundtrack... And it sucks. Like it REALLY sucks. They did actually manage to nail a few of the tracks, but most of them are just... No. So bad. They tried to modernize it too much and it completely escapes the original feel of the classic soundtrack. They really should have just gone with a classic orchestral rendition of the soundtrack rather than absolute shit show they served up. They fucked up the soundtrack so badly that it really felt like a punch to the gut. So, overall... Is this worth getting and playing? Yes, I think so, very much. This is a decent remake of the classic which breathes a little bit of new life into the title and provides some much-appreciated updates to appease modern gamers. But is it worth $40? Is it worth a whole forty USA freedom bucks? Is it worth forty of your hard-earned smackeroos? No, pardner, absolutely not. Too many corners were cut, too many details were overlooked, too many bits were just a little too flawed. Do get this game, absolutely, but only get it when it goes on sale, it is not worth the full listed price. It was not worth the full listed price when this remake released, and it *sure as hell* isn't worth it now.

7/10 Still decent, though not a "true" port. Some of the Art is just painful. The main chars i think are pretty good, but the Lullabud looses all its value... it was identical to the normal flowers and thus could "blend in". now it sticks out like a sore thumb. otherwise, i feel like its easier. the biggest downsides? they did not fix / TLC the important grind stuff. You still need 4k kills for weapon mastery and you still need 4k casts for magic mastery. you still dont have indexes for the tree armor pieces, even though you have "get all x armor" achievements. AND they still not have fixed the menu bugs (switch direction, unavailability of the menu if ANY action is occuring).

In the dwarf village, after the show - the blacksmith door still wont open. You need to dash against it. Seems to be a year old bug. Maybe this one helps a few people.
