    While others might be afraid to speak in fear that SE might stop porting these games, I have to say that this game should never be made for the IOS, this is a game that needs real controls to play and while some might think it improves on the SNES, the touch screen makes bigger problems, this is truly a game that deserved to be remade on the 3DS, please keep in mind this is only myWhile others might be afraid to speak in fear that SE might stop porting these games, I have to say that this game should never be made for the IOS, this is a game that needs real controls to play and while some might think it improves on the SNES, the touch screen makes bigger problems, this is truly a game that deserved to be remade on the 3DS, please keep in mind this is only my opinion, and please check out the game to decide for yourself, for now I'm going to stick to my SNES and play the real SOM.

    This is the worst piece of trash game I have ever played. It was bad in 1993 and it's still bad. The original programmers should be ashamed at making a game that just doesn't function. Action 52 was better written than this. Everyone rating this high is absolutely mental.

    This is an old school roleplaying game, with a superb presentation. Sadly, the controls are not as good we would have wished, and it lacks multiplayer capabilities. Despite these flaws, it is one of the best roleplaying games in the App Store.

    A true Proust's Cookie of videogames, Secret of Mana is an absolute must-play of the iOS game library. Why ? Because everything that made it legendary in 1994 has been honored, and even improved in this version. Sure, the multiplayer was dropped, and the touch screen controls may bother some, but when you get beyond that, it's a wonder. Its pleasures are rooted in nostalgia, but this Action-RPG is at least as emblematic as a good Zelda.

    Secret of Mana for iDevices may not be the full-remake that some fans might have expected (especially when it lacks the co-op), but it's still an incredible classic RPG that genre fans should add to their collection.
