Trials of Mana is a modern revival of the 3rd game in the seminal Mana series. The game, originally released in Japan as Seiken Densetsu 3, has been fully rebuilt from the ground up in 3D.
Developed by Square Enix · Published by Square Enix









In this 3D action RPG remake, mana is vanishing and forces of evil are seeking to free the Benevodons, creatures sealed away by the Goddess of Mana. You lead a band of young adventurers on a journey to stop them and save the world.
Choose a protagonist and two companions from six characters. Their interwoven stories and some major events vary with your selection, giving different parties distinct perspectives on the adventure.
Explore towns, fields, and dungeons, then fight enemies and bosses in real-time battles using attacks, abilities, and character skills. Class changes along light or dark paths shape each hero’s role, while abilities and additional class tiers offer further ways to develop the party.
The supplied reviews often enjoy the responsive, approachable action combat and the ways class changes and abilities let players shape party roles. Different hero selections and story routes also encourage repeat play, while colorful 3D visuals and the music—especially the option to switch between original and arranged tracks—appeal to many reviewers. Some find the combat repetitive or easy, and story depth and companion AI draw recurring criticism.
