Secret of Mana Critic Reviews

Whether you're an old fan or a curious newcomer, it's worth saving the Mana Fortress from being hijacked.

A true Proust's Cookie of videogames, Secret of Mana is an absolute must-play of the iOS game library. Why ? Because everything that made it legendary in 1994 has been honored, and even improved in this version. Sure, the multiplayer was dropped, and the touch screen controls may bother some, but when you get beyond that, it's a wonder. Its pleasures are rooted in nostalgia, but this Action-RPG is at least as emblematic as a good Zelda.

Secret of Mana for iDevices may not be the full-remake that some fans might have expected (especially when it lacks the co-op), but it's still an incredible classic RPG that genre fans should add to their collection.

This is an old school roleplaying game, with a superb presentation. Sadly, the controls are not as good we would have wished, and it lacks multiplayer capabilities. Despite these flaws, it is one of the best roleplaying games in the App Store.

Secret of Mana is a genuine classic in every sense of the word. Square's SNES epic is still a hell of a play.

Seventeen years after its initial release, Secret of Mana remains the gold standard Action RPG.

A charming adventure packed with memorable characters, scenarios, and gameplay, Secret of Mana remains enjoyable in spite of control issues and minor audio quirks.

The iPhone port is far from perfect, but it's Secret of Mana. You can do much worse.
