In ages past, an island called Illusia floated at the center of the world. At the heart of the island towered an ancient, enormous tree that stretched up to the very heavens. For ages past, chaos and sorrow had engulfed the world until at last its salvation appeared in the form of a boy, a girl, and a holy sword. Time flowed on and peace returned. The sword and the tree remained, and they soon came to be known as the Sword of Mana and the Mana Tree.
Part of the "World of Mana" project, this game is a 2D RPG follow-up to the adored action-RPG series. Embark on a co-op multiplayer quest, teaming together to achieve actions and reach areas, by helping players up or working together in ways that single-player adventurers cannot do. Children of Mana features a complex weapon system where you can equip multiple weapons for range and melee attack.

Great Multiplayer Game
- Pros: Excellent Multiplayer game that is reminiscent of Four Swords or the old Gauntlet games on the NES. The soundtrack and art used are absolutely gorgeous!
- Cons: No WiFi multiplayer action, and if you are a fan of previous Legend of Mana titles, you might steer clear of this game due to its poor story development and dungeon-grinding repetativeness. But if you're looking for some multiplayer fun, and your friends next door have it, might be worth the 30-beans.
- Other Thoughts: Hopefully Square-enix sees it in their heart to give us a more complete Mana title somewhere down the road!

The Heroes
Each hero provides a unique gameplay experience. You'll want to try them all!
Ferrik A youth who lost his family in the cataclysm. Stout-hearted and generally dependable, but with a brash and reckless side. Well-balanced.
Tamber An experienced dancer and acrobat, Tamber lost her family in the cataclysm. She has not lost her strong sense of duty, though. Good all-around capabilities, but slightly better at magic than physical attacks.
Poppen Fearless despite having to grow up on his own, this diminutive mage regards Ferrik and Tamber as his true brother and sister. Strong magic skills, but can be quite vulnerable in close contact.
Wanderer A cheerful member of the niccolo folk, Wanderer has taken a special liking to Illusia. A big and big-hearted soul, he excels at physical combat, but struggles with magic.
Elemental Spirits
A greatly admired tradition of the Mana series, these powerful allies unleash fearsome magic upon your foes and bestow helpful magic on you. Great partners, they’re always ready with a friendly piece of advice, too. Experiment to see which one you prefer.
Weapons
The sword, hammer, flail and bow are used in physical attacks. You can assign two to your A and X buttons. When powered up (press and hold the weapon’s button), they perform unusual feats. For example, the flail can grab items seemingly out of reach on the far side of hazardous spikes, while the bow plays music that lulls nearby enemies!
Gem Frame
You'll find magical gems during your adventures. A gem's color indicates how it helps you. For example, red gems enhance your physical attacks, orange gems affect things you acquire in battle, and blue gems typically upgrade your elemental spirit's capabilities. Gems, which vary in size, are only effective if placed in the limited real estate of your gem frame. Choose carefully!
Drop by the by the Bilbo Bros.' shop in Mana Village to fuse gems. You can get some very powerful co |
