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.
Whether you're an old fan or a curious newcomer, it's worth saving the Mana Fortress from being hijacked.

Secret of Mana is an RPG originally for the SNES and NES. The tale tells of Randy, and his friends Popoi and Primm. The three characters fight to restore the mana from each of the temples scattered throughout the world back to the mana sword to face the antagonist, Thanatos and his minions, who seek to revive the mana fortress and take over the world.

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.
Seventeen years after its initial release, Secret of Mana remains the gold standard Action RPG.
Secret of Mana is a genuine classic in every sense of the word. Square's SNES epic is still a hell of a play.
A charming adventure packed with memorable characters, scenarios, and gameplay, Secret of Mana remains enjoyable in spite of control issues and minor audio quirks.
The iPhone port is far from perfect, but it's Secret of Mana. You can do much worse.
Sólo diré que este es el primer videojuego por el que empezó mi pasión por los videojuegos. Hasta la fecha no había visto nada tan profundo, mágico y hermoso en los circuitos de ninguna consola.

Undoubtedly one of the finest games ever created. It certainly is for me, topping both Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy III (VI). What really sets the game apart is its fantastic combat system, engaging story and overall original feel. But, the thing that ensnared me and made this game anchor itself was the music.
It's phenomenal. It's at times incredibly beautiful, technical (my god, it's tech prog!), mystical and downright beautiful. A good game is great, but I believe what really makes a game reach the highest echelons of the genre is music. Smell is well known to have the greatest effect on memory and nostalgia, but second to that must be the ears and music.
If nothing else, go listen to the soundtrack.

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 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.
