Customer Ratings & Reviews

Only a few hours in so it's hard to make do a review for an rpg based on so little time, but so far I'm enjoying this one quite a bit. Solid gameplay and looks gorgeous on the small screen in portable mode.

New to the series. Currently slowly replaying on PC. Things I liked: - Gameplay. Relatively dynamic combat compared to turn-based combat - both have their places but I really like the combat system here - Story that is easy to understand and get into as someone who's new to the series (though more on this later) - Replay-ability - Map sizes seem to be just right. No crazy hour long dungeon crawling but also nothing that is too short. - Character dialogues and interaction - at least with the ones I've seen so far - Map diversity. I like the different locations in the game. Things I didn't like: - That bird thing with petripeak like bruh - Story. It's a bit uninspiring and cheesy. Things I'm so-so: - Characters. Most characters are a bit boring, generic, and forgettable. Some aren't like Angela, and her story and her relationship with her mother.

Wasn’t really knowledgeable about Trials walking in but the story and characters are very likable. Was very easy for me to jump right in.

Good remake of a Japanese-exclusive SNES JRPG. Certainly higher quality than the Secret of Mana remake a few years back, but with similar gameplay and style. A high replayability too given a cast of six main characters, from which you can only choose three, meaning you can only view the story from the viewpoints of half the characters and would have to entirely replay the game using the other three characters to see them all. Average length for a SNES-era JRPG, but at about 40 hours its quite short by today's standards, though that does help with the replay aspect. On the easy side (except for a few boss battles) and with a short length it makes a fair entry point to the RPG genre for younger or less experienced players.

After finally getting the officially localized version of Secret of Mana 2, i.e. Seiken Densetsu 3 as part of the Collection of Mana released last year we now get a modern 3D remake. A far as remakes of classic games go this is definitely on the 'good' side, maybe even great. It obviously doesn't have the budget behind it of something like Final Fantasy 7 Remake, but it adopts a style that's pretty true to the original game's concept art and modernizes smartly in game mechanics, in particular the combat. Even if you never played the original version of the game this remake is a solid action RPG. The only thing I wish had been brought over from the original game that is missing in this remake is the local coop.

I had a chance to play the original game when it came out for the Super Famicom (Japanese Super Nintendo) and it was such an amazing game. The ability to choose different characters through each play through and experience the game through their eyes was amazing. I was so happy when I heard that this game was not only getting a remake, but also being officially released in the West in English along with the original SFC version (in a separate compilation). I definitely recommend as this is a great JRPG.

Fun to play! I never really played the Mana series, I was more FF but I’ll have to play the other Mana games

This is a remake of an older game, but much better than the original!

The story is very good, the voice acting is laughably bad and the gameplay is monotonous but fun.

Awesome nostalgia game a bit of stutter and loose camera angles but those are my only negatives. Combat and story are great.

This is a modern remake of a 1995 snes game that we didn't get until last year in the collection of mana for the Nintendo switch, and it’s probably the first time many are experiencing this fantastic game. this particular version has terrible voice acting and can be quite easy but everything else about it is great from graphics to gameplay to music and story.

Trials of Mana exceeded all expectations I had for this game. I recall in the old days playing the english translated version of this game on SNES and it was amazing for its time. This newer 3D version takes it over the top and with the new 4th classes give it lots of replay value. 5/5 would recommend!

I was a big fan of the original version when I was a kid, but I was hesitant to buy this version. I haven't enjoyed many remakes of other SquareEnix games, but I really enjoyed playing Trials of Mana. It has some cheesy voice acting and the story and world building can be shallow at times but the music, fighting and character building more than make up for it. The game is fairly simple as far as action RPG's go. This game knows what it is, and it does it well.

One of the best switch ports. May not be as pretty as the ps4 version or run as smooth, but it plays well on both docked and handheld with little issue. If you need the best looking and playing version get the ps4 but if you like the portability and the ability to play on TV, you can't go wrong with this version .

This game is remake is great. I have never played the original so my thoughts are just on this game alone. The cutscenes are beautiful made and the music fits in so perfectly. Everything has be remade and is now in 3D. There is voice acting as well. There are a lot of different subplots and many subquests giving it a lot of replayability. Hard mode isn't too hard and is relatively easy to finish.

The game plays very well as an action rpg, and the score is beautiful to listen to. However, the director behind the voice acting for this game must of been asleep on the wheel, since the voice work has ended up being the most regrettable thing to experience within in the game. Still worth a play though.

I have been patiently waiting for this game to come out since I first heard about it and it doesn’t disappoint. The graphics look great, the controls are smooth and the story is fun. Excellent game. BestBuy.com is great website to order from, fast shipping and plenty of updates to tracking information.

A classic from the 90s never released officially in the US, comes remade from scratch more than 20 years later to give a very nice impression to old and new rpg fans. You can choose the music from the original or the new version. The action mechanics for battles are pretty neat

Great game. Remake of Secret of Mana 3 which was never released here. Game features many characters and has no real one main character. You can choose who you like and meet the others as you play. This provides great replay value. Don't feel like your missing out if you only play once. you can see the bulk story of everyone if you like as you play through if you want to only once. I fully recommend this for fans of ARPGs. Its a great game that was so popular it had fan translations of it and inspired people to learn japanese just so they could play it. If you want to play the original snes/super famicom version its on collection of mana. This is a Squaresoft/SquareEnix

Trials of mana is a real fun game for the Nintendo switch. It a fantasy story with a good lineup of characters to choose between. Whether you choose to join up with certain 3 characters to battle with you can do this. Graphics are good and story line is really fun.
