Description: The Mana Tree Needs Defenders! The location of the Mana Tree -- Wellspring of all life -- has long been lost to legend. Many centuries have passed, and the Granz Realm's Dark Lord is searching for the secrets of the ancient tree so that he can control the source of Mana. Now, a young hero and heroine must come together to defeat the evil that threatens both the mystical tree and the world itself. * Choose your hero! Guide a battle-hardened gladiator on his quest to avenge the deaths of his parents! * ...Or guide a young girl, one of the last survivors of the Mana Clan, as she confronts the past that haunts her. * Experience the saga of these two heroes as their stories weave together and they join forces to protect the Mana Tree from the forces of darkness. Fans of Secret of Mana have waited over ten years for a successor to Square's SNES role-playing game, and now it's here. Sword of Mana shares the art style and action-oriented gameplay of its predecessor, but boasts a huge game environment, a new gripping storyline, and a deep class and upgrade system. You'll choose between playing a male or a female hero and slay enemies to upgrade your abilities. Sword of Mana blends its fast action and depth with classic RPG style and fun.
