Visions of Mana Looks Like Fantastic Action RPG Fun Ahead of August Release on PS5, PS4 | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Square Enix has dropped a deep dive trailer for Visions of Mana, as we creep closer to its 29th August release date on PS5 and PS4. This might just be our best look at the RPG's gameplay mechanics to date, as the video breaks down the various elemental powers that Val and his party are able to wield.

Basically, Elemental Vessels give you access to both new character classes and solutions to environmental puzzles. Any Vessel can be attuned to any of the adventure's five party members, which, on paper, should allow for an impressive amount of customisation. Indeed, finding the right combination of classes could end up being pretty important.

Honestly, Visions of Mana just looks like a really solid — and hopefully very fun — action RPG. With its old school atmosphere and straightforward story, it's obviously not trying to reinvent the genre — but there's nothing necessarily wrong with that. As long as its charm remains intact, we could see this being a bit of a sleeper hit.

The adventure continues

Combat and character classes

Again, Visions of Mana is still set to launch at the end of next month. We're hoping to spy some raw gameplay footage in the near future, but until that arrives, let us know if you're ready to embark on a classic quest in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

This looks really well put together and definately a game I'd like to play — good trailer.
My poor wallet — there is no escape from the constant influx of games I want to try!

I swear, we give them a hard time, but Square-Enix still makes like 70% of the games I want to play.

I will likely never touch this but
