Trials of Mana Standard Edition - Nintendo Switch

Personally I like RPGs and when I first saw this game’s announcement I was interested and was finally able to buy it recently. Great game overall but the game doesn’t explain gimmicks or mechanics most of the time, so it’s best to google when necessary, but overall, great game.

I loved this game on the SNES, and this remake is very well done. The downsides are the English voice acting (but you can select original Japanese voices to solve that), and unlike the original there is no multiplayer. That aside, I would recommend the remake over the original, especially when planning to play solo.

Awesome remake, very reminiscent of Dragon Quest XI

Anytime you look up "Best action JRPG's on the Nintendo Switch" this title will almost always come up. You won't find it on a top ten list or anything, but with a very simple and enjoyable combat system, different characters to choose from, easy to follow story that isn't too much, lots of play time for the money, it makes it a great starting point for anyone wanting to get into the action JRPG genre OR even better for the 90's kid trying to relive this game in an updated system with modern graphics.

I've been a fan of the Mana series since Secret of Mana on the SNES and was excited to play its sequel in the Collection of Mana, but I never expected Square-Enix to release a full 3D remake of that game not long afterwards, so this was a nice surprise! This remake looks and plays great, being very faithful to the original game. The multiple characters to pick from and branching stories are still there, giving it a lot of replay value, but it is ultimately a simple hack-n-slash RPG game. Nice additions are voice acting (which can be hit or miss), more control over character growth, additional end-game content, as well as some other extras. Definitely a worthwhile pickup.
