Sword of Mana is a full remake of Final Fantasy Adventure, the 1991 Game Boy game that began the Mana series. Brownie Brown, a studio formed by former Square staff, rebuilt it for the Game Boy Advance in 2003 with Square Enix in Japan and Nintendo publishing in North America.
The remake goes well beyond a graphical update. You choose between two leads, a gladiator hero and a heroine with magical ties, and each path shows events from a different angle. The art takes cues from Legend of Mana, with painterly backgrounds and large, colorful sprites. Combat uses the ring-style menus familiar from Secret of Mana, weapons can be switched to cut grass, break rocks or cross gaps, and the companion character is controlled by the computer. Fans of the original noticed the story was expanded considerably, though reviewers were divided on the slower pace and fiddly menus.
Tips for Sword of Mana
Different weapons interact with the field, so try each one when a path seems blocked.
Switching between the two leads matters for magic and puzzles, so bring the partner along rather than leaving them weak.
