If you enjoy cozy JRPG adventure games, you should love this one. The painted look of the environments and characters pair well with the charming music and fun, stress-free battles. Playing this game reproduced the same feelings I had playing Secret of Mana as a kid. I think this is a fantastic return to the series for a new generation.

Personally would review the game as 7/10. Combat is fun but story is basic and not super interesting.

Visions of Mana presents a bright storybook world overshadowed by a hint of melancholy. This turned out to be prescient design as the release of this game was completely overshadowed by the controversy of Netease pulling funding from its non-Chinese studios. In-turn this lead to the untimely shuttering of developer Ouka Studios before it even had a chance to make a name for itself. So, as hinted just above, this game is quite a looker. Considering this is, shall we say, a double-A game it is quite stunning to look at. Colors are vibrant and pop with contrast. Environments have their own visually distinct biomes. The draw distance is pretty far. And for all that it performs very well. Have no fear of the Unreal logo here; this is Unreal Engine 4 and seemed well optimized to me granting a stable 120fps on my 7800x3d/7900xt pairing at 4K with FSR enabled. I also had no issues with the Steam Deck pulling between 30-40fps on appropriately lowered settings. As for stability, I played through all major game content including post-game chapter and superboss over the course of 43 hours and experienced only one crash in the course of my playthrough. While it was repeatable for me it was also easily enough avoidable. On the audio front the music is excellent and for me ranks among some of the best the Mana series has to offer. The English VA is, unfortunately, mediocre at best and fully leans into tired tropes like Careena having a southern accent because she speaks roughly in JP. Lazier still they didn't bother affecting the same for anyone else in her village and it's hard not to notice. The JP voices, which I strongly recommend, are just fine though I'm hardly an expert and only understand about half of what they're saying. The localization itself is fine: i.e. Palamena speaks in rather stuffy phraseology in EN which feels like a perfectly fine reflection of how she always speaks keigo in JP. There were no instances of overtly anachronistic or otherwise out of place dialog that I was able to catch. If you're a long time Mana series fan there's a boatload of elements that will make you feel right at home, such as the 8 elementals and a raft of familiar enemies both mob and boss, the dancing merchant guys, or enemies exploding into a pile of bones on death. Lil' Cactus is back with journal entries, if you can find him, and provides some good rewards for finding him. There's plenty of other familiar faces around and I won't spoil them all as they all put a smile on my face when I encountered them. It's a real love letter in many ways to the Mana games of the past, and not in a pandering way but neatly integrated into this new world. The basic plot and gameplay are fairly tied together: Essentially the party consists of people chosen by the powers that be to represent one of each of the 8 elements. They are to journey to the Tree of Mana where their essence is to be absorbed to restabilize the flow of things and prevent catastrophe. Suffice to say not all goes to plan and the party is thrown into turmoil after tragedy strikes. I won't spoil it but it does get quite dark at times, at least as far as this series goes, and delves into some themes we haven't seen in Mana before. Make no mistake, this is no Clair Obscur or Planescape: Torment, etc., but it is definitely serviceable to keep you motivated to push forward and I couldn't help but feel a bit misty at the post-credits finale. At the very start of the game combat is extremely basic. However as you journey you will acquire elemental vessels that unlock classes for each party member. This in turn opens an "elemental plot" where you can spend points to customize your troops with new moves and passive abilities. The further you get in the game, and coupled with the addition of ability seeds to further flesh out your toolkit, combat becomes quite fun as you seek out synergies that suit your play style, or just outright break the game if that's your cup of tea. When you finally fully upgrade your elemental plot it opens up the capacity to make your own custom class which can be even more broken still. Add to that a plethora of combos, launchers, spike downs, and wall splats and it adds up to some really good fun. On top of more standard battling there are at least a couple of boss fights that are legimiately amazing set-pieces and I kind of wish there had been more of those. The side quests, however, are junk. Useful solely for padding your wallet if you need a few extra bucks to buy some new equipment but they are nearly all dreary scut-work. Go-here-kill-X, go-there-find-Y. Late-game there are a couple that grant some high-tier weapons, and a few for interesting ability seeds so stick to those if you don't want to go crazy completionist here. It feels like there's about 1,000 of the filler variety. Fortunately for the achievement hunters I did read there is none for completing them all. So just as the in-game world is marred by tragedy, the real-world tragedy here is that this is likely to be the very last Mana game ever. It had already taken 18 years since the last mainline entry until the Collection of Mana and Trials of Mana remake made enough splash to garner this new entry, only for it to wind up stillborn due to the machinations of corporate politics. Indeed, the overall "mixed" rating is in large part due to just that on release. This is a genuinely good game, bordering on great at times, and deserved to be loved. I know I did. And I can understand not wanting to spend money to support a studio that no longer exists, but maybe throw this on your wishlist and keep an eye out for a steep discount. Maybe you'll end up loving it too. A bittersweet finale to one of my favorite game series of all time. Important final note: Strongly recommend not playing the demo. I was so put off by it I almost didn't give the full game a chance. There's just something really off about how it dumps you in without the time to ramp up to the point of the game that it's at. And since it is at a later point there's no save carry-over so you're just wasting time unless you want to use it as a benchmark for your system.

I really wish we could give games something in between recommended and not recommended on Steam, because while this game definitely has elements some will appreciate it, it's really hard to "recommend it" to any but a very particular crowd. Essentially, this game is very mid. It's the kind of game that would have been considered good 20 years ago, but we've all grown to expect more from the genre, especially from Square Enix. On the positive side, this game is aesthetically an absolute gem. A bright, colorful fantasy world, with a very lively world and a charming, colorful cast of characters. It's exactly what you'd expect from the Mana series. The game also has a pretty rich class system with lots of options for customization for your party, but it's not something you have to think deeply about unless you crank up the difficulty. On the negative side, the gameplay loop is an extremely run of the mill action RPG. Go from point A to B, beat up some bad guys in between, maybe find a treasure chest or two along the way or complete a side quest, go buy the next best equipment at the shop, rinse, repeat. If you've played any JRPG since the 90's, you've experienced this before. The combat system is fine; if you liked Trials of Mana, you'll like this too. Passable but not trilling. A so-so RPG can absolutely be redeemed by a great story, but unfortunately, this game does not have that. I don't know how to describe the writing in this game, but everything is very dull. Not for lack of trying; there are absolutely the bones of a great story, but it just not come together at any stage. Which is such a shame, because as I said, I really liked the characters in this game. It's almost as if the game's script just had one more draft to punch things up a bit, it'd be good, but it just doesn't do much for me. Maybe I'm just spoiled by masterclasses of JRPG storytelling like the Xenoblade games, but I don't know, I don't feel like I should have to grade games on a curve when I know there are better things out there. It probably sounds weird that I'm recommending this game, and again I'll say that there are probably people out there that will see past the flaws and enjoy it for what it is. It's not a bad game at all, it's just not a great one. It's the definition of average, and sometimes that's OK. If they make a Mana 6 (which I hope they do), I just hope that they liven up the combat and get stronger writing, because I think this series deserves it.

This is the time I wish there was a eh it's ok button. The game isn't bad it's cute and simple. I like the character designs, enjoy the music and some of the areas are pretty. I can see what they were trying for the story but the dialogue just is all over the place. There is no flow in the dialogue in some parts and it jarring. Here an ex from the story Morley's adopted father is arrested. They say he is arrested. Morley then says "I will find my father." He was arrested!!!! He isn't lost. He wasn't spirited away. He was just jailed. Why do you need to find him? Morley should have said something like: "I will prove my father's innocence." Or something like that. Like I said it's a simple game. But honestly is you want it GET IT ON SALE. It's not worth the $60 price tag. Hell I got it on sale when it's was 25% off and I should have waited for a better sale.
