Echoes of Mana

Square Enix gives us Echoes of Mana, a great game application that invites us to remember better times with the heroes of all the games of the saga.

The heroes of Mana return in a new adventure filled with nostalgia.

The Seiken Densetsu Saga (better known in some countries as Secret of Mana) has been a hit since the early 1990s. Now Square Enix offers its fans a brand new adventure.

While every gamer can enjoy the experience, hardcore fans will definitely have the most fun as we'll be seeing (and controlling) the heroes from previous games again. The plot is so nostalgic, but the developers came up with a good excuse to give us this little treat.

Before we start playing we have to choose between a boy and a girl (Quilto and Quilta). The story begins with the main character waking up in a deserted place where there is only one beautiful tree: the Mana Tree. Then the Goddess of Mana appears and tells him that this is the last sanctum as everything else has been lost. Only the Sword of Mana can restore the world.

Therefore, the chosen one is tasked with finding the missing sword. To do this, our character must travel through stages of the world (the "echoes" that give the game its title) where we meet old acquaintances to reconstruct memories and save the world. It's business as usual, but with a fantastic setting.

A wonderful RPG with a retro feel, lots of action and excellent gameplay.

If you download the APK file for Echoes of Mana, you can enjoy an extraordinary 2D free-to-play action role-playing game with exquisite retro touches and multiplayer features mixing new and familiar characters. And it's not enough to just accept quests and fight - you also have to follow the story to fully enjoy the game.

The combat system has been completely redesigned to offer us something similar to what we already know, but with controls adapted to mobile devices. The battles take place in real time and you can choose up to three characters (which you can collect via the gacha system).

On a technical level, it's an absolute marvel. Combining outstanding character design with impeccable graphics, an immersive soundtrack and the voices of some very dedicated voice actors, it manages to fully immerse us in the story. The gameplay is also excellent (although you'll need a powerful device with plenty of space to play).

In short, this is one of the most promising mobile JRPGs, especially for fans of the Mana saga. And on top of that we can play for free... although there's no shortage of paid elements to improve the management of the game.

In short, if you've played any of the previous games, you can't miss this wonderful opportunity.
