Not content just remaking Final Fantasy VII and Secret of Mana, Square Enix has set their sights next on a game that most us in the West don’t even have any nostalgia for. Trials of Mana, known until recently as Seiken Densetsu 3, has finally received a localization for the Western world in the Collection of Mana, but it was announced alongside a brand new remake of the Japanese SNES classic in a similar style to the recent Secret of Mana remake. Trials of Mana is now coming to the West properly in full 3D, with action combat and strong hopes to reignite the love for this series.

I played the game at Square Enix’s press booth at Gamescom 2019 while playing on a Nintendo Switch in handheld mode. Secret of Mana’s remake was still restrained by a top-down view which obscured much of the world and environments, but with the Trials of Mana remake the camera is placed behind the backs of the characters, and the environments are given much more detail to complement your expanded view. Towns and cities are detailed and vibrant for small-scale JRPG standards, and it’s immediately clear that this is a much more ambitious remake than Secret of Mana.
