Legend of Mana HD Remaster out now

Here’s a brief description as to what the game is all about:

Legend of Mana is the fourth instalment in the Mana series that originally released in 1999. Now the game is set to return as an HD remastered edition, with high resolution graphics, lovingly redrawn backgrounds, and updated UI.

Legend of Mana is an action RPG where you become the protagonist and embark on adventures in the world of Fa’Diel . At the heart of the story is Mana, the underlying theme of the entire Mana series, whose mysteries are told with a picture book art style accompanied by a whimsical soundtrack.

Using the Land Creation system, you place artifacts on the map to create the world’s towns, forests, and more. People will appear, and new stories will be set in motion. What kind of tale will unfold? That depends on your Land Creation.

As you can expect from any remastered game, the new Legend of Mana has been given several new updates. These updates include:

• Background images and some sections of the UI have been redrawn for full HD support.
• Certain songs have received new arrangements, especially for the HD Remaster. Players can choose whether they want to listen to the original songs or the arranged versions.
• View illustrations and artwork from the time of the original release through Gallery Mode and listen to the game’s soundtrack any time you like from the options menu via Music Mode.
• Encounters with enemies can be turned off, making it easy to explore dungeon areas.
• The HD Remaster includes an autosave function, as well as the ability to save any time from the options menu (excludes certain in-game locations).
• The Ring Ring Land mini-game is included in all language versions. Use it to obtain rare items more easily than in regular play.

Pokdepinion: I was actually reading about this game not too long ago. I never played it as I didn’t grow up with it but after reading and hearing a lot of good things about it, I might actually consider picking it up and giving the game a go.
