The Secret of Mana remake manages to keep some of the charm of the SNES version, but fails to improve upon the flaws of the original.
Secret of Mana fails with its slew of technical issues and unimpressive graphic design.
If someone expressed an interest in playing Secret of Mana, I'd first encourage them to buy a SNES Classic.
Caught right between a needed update and trying to strictly adhere to the original template, Secret of Mana doesn't commit itself enough in either direction to justify owning it above any of the other versions.
Secret of Mana was an amazing game in 1993 and is a "must play" for all JRPG fans. It features diverse world, memorable bosses, dynamic combat system, great atmosphere and a simple, but interesting plot. And it's really sad that remake turned out not so good. Strange innovations, cheap three-dimensional graphics and bugs spoil the final impression....
