    This daring tale of overcoming the tests of fate has been given new life! Will these young adventurers be able to use the power of mana to save the world from the brink of destruction?

    When the world was shrouded in darkness, the Goddess of Mana drew forth the Sword of Mana to smite the eight Benevodons, monsters of destruction. She sealed the horrors inside the eight Mana Stones, bringing the realm back from the brink. Weakened from rebuilding the world, the Goddess changed herself into a tree and fell into a deep sleep for many years. However, the forces of evil soon sought to free the Benevodons to gain control of the world. They started a terrible war to further their plot and destabilize the kingdoms. Peace was at an end. Mana itself began to disappear from the world and the Mana Tree started to wither..."

    Trials of Mana is a delightful experience. The engaging story, enjoyable combat, and charming presentation make it a must-play for RPG fans, with the monster pop-in issue just a minor blemish on an otherwise polished game.

    Four years after arriving on other platforms, Trials of Mana for Xbox is a reassuring sign of future Square Enix releases on Microsoft consoles going forward, but as a product it shows its age and offers next to no improvements over the original 2020 remake.
