Legend of Mana

<p><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Legend of Mana is a remaster of the 1999 two-dimensional action RPG by Square (later known as Square Enix). The original title is formally the fourth installment in the Mana series, as the first installment of the series was released in the West either as a Final Fantasy spin-off (in America) or as Mystic Quest (in Europe). The production was refreshed right after three of the four previous parts of the series: Adventures of Mana, Secret of Mana and Trials of Mana.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">As a typical high fantasy game, Legend of Mana takes us to a universe full of magic and monsters. However, when it begins, Fa&#39;Diel&#39;s world is almost empty due to a cataclysm that occurred nine centuries earlier. It was then that the Mana Tree, the source of life and magical energy, was almost completely burnt down, and as a result it was running out. Thus broke out the war between the inhabitants of Fa&#39;Diel, which eventually resulted in the confinement of many lands in ancient artifacts. The task of the protagonist or heroine led by the player is to restore the Mana Tree, the whole world and its magical energy to its former glory.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Like previous Mana remasters, Legend of Mana is an action RPG with a top view. During the game, together with up to two companions, we explore locations where we encounter NPCs and monsters. We defeat monsters in combat in which we use magic and weapons, and in the case of weapons, we also use their special attacks called Special Techs. From time to time we also come across powerful bosses, and as the game progresses, we gain experience and develop the hero&#39;s abilities.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">The biggest novelty introduced in Legend of Mana is the Land Make system. When we start our adventure, most of the map is literally empty. To change this, we need to find artifacts in which ancient lands were sealed. Then we place them in a place of our choice so that a city, dungeon or other location appears there. These differ only in appearance, but also in the monsters and items they contain. These places also describe the so-called Mana Levels for each of the eight types of magic assigned to mythical creatures such as genies, fireflies, salamanders and gnomes. The higher the mana level, the more effective the spells are when fighting in this area. All this can also change depending on artifacts adjacent to a given location.</span></span></p>
