Our take on Secret of Mana
Retelling a 1993 adventure gives the remake a defined story foundation, but leaves less room for an entirely new narrative. Its local co-op focus also makes shared play part of the structure rather than a purely solo experience.
What is Secret of Mana?
Secret of Mana retells the adventure of Randi, Primm, and Popoi in a full 3D remake of the 1993 game.
The world has been rebuilt with three-dimensional visuals, and the controls have been updated. A newly arranged musical score accompanies the story, while Randi, Primm, Popoi, and other characters have voiced dialogue. The remake adds interlude episodes to the adventure. Local cooperative play supports three participants, allowing the story to be played with friends in the same session. The game combines its retelling of the original adventure with new presentation, added content, and cooperative play.
