Square is making up for all those years they never let us play Trials of Mana by giving us the game twice in one year. First there came the original, which finally arrived in translated form 24 years late on Nintendo Switch (check Collection of Mana if you haven’t already). Next comes the remake, which so far looks good.
It’s time to get acquainted with the colorful cast of Trials of Mana. The game’s main gimmick is that it contains six playable characters, and you can only choose three. This ensures that you can play the game many times with a different combination of characters each time, and with a game as classic as Trials of Mana, you’ll want to.
First there’s purple-haired princess Angela, who ran away from her kingdom as an act of rebellion against her corrupt mother. But can you blame her? Her mom’s latest idea is to kill Angela as part of a sacrificial spell to gain ultimate power. Forget her!
The redhead is Duran, a soldier from the neighboring kingdom of Valsena...
