Secret of Mana for Android
Always will be, i was having a great time playing through this game again. Until I got the Shade powers and now can't sleep at any inn without it crashing. Its not the same as the original but it brings a fresh face for those who have played the original many times over. Some good changes some not so good.
I'm really happy with this remake of Secret of Mana. It holds true to the original, and adds a few new touches to the graphics . Some people might not like it, but I think it's very cool and works great. The thing that makes me the most happy is that there is automatic controller support if you have a PS3 or Bluetooth controller. I haven't encountered any glitches, and there's clouds safe. The cloud save is really cool because it can auto save now too. Five stars from me
You cannot return from the ice country. Either option at cannon travel will crash the game. Was very good to that point, but that is inexcusable. Luckily i only paid half price, guess i got my money's worth since i can't proceed to the second half. After repeated contact with support they basically gave up and said to Uninstall and re-download. They also said to reference the non existent compatibility list. What a joke. Poor decision square enix, just chased away a loyal customer for 20+ years.
I was really enjoying reliving a past memory playing this game till it locked up when trying to get the fire seed. Trying to use canon travel to go to the desert causes a crash. Have reported multiple times to no avail.
Great game, but the game crashes at any loading point in kakkara desert (canon travel or inn). Seems to be the same problem that many others are having. Hopefully they fix this so that I can give it 5 stars.
Great game, but is destroyed and made way harder because of glitches with the controls. Can't easily charge up weapon attacks which makes killing enemies way harder.
Please fix the controls. Game tends to try and walk on its own and can't use menu or pick options. Really good game though. Can't use undine magic for healing my group, it will heal bosses and enemies
I've levelled up my weapon gauge and stuff, I thought you just hold the button down but it doesn't work, help!
I was totally loving the game and it works well on Android. However a bug where a healing spell is cast but never lands on the target means I am fighting a loosing battle and the CONSTANT menu popping up every time I swipe right is SO IRRITATING! it was great but this has but me off. So close yet so far.
This game was a GEM, it s worth a lot on NES now, I got edited to get it on tablet for cheap but it was rushed. Commands are dodgy, making it hard to play, menus are a pain to navigate.
I cannot get past the title screen. The app keeps crashing. Someone help me! I want to play this game so badly.
They removed the customizable character behaviors via the action grid and just put predefined behaviors instead. The idea seems good, until you notice that the only behaviors available are "Rush in and die" and "Stay away and never attack". This broke the allies' AI.
Game measures up to the snes classic.however the movement is kinda glitchy, and the fps is laggy. Directional button could be scaled slightly bigger and fps improved for smoother gameplay. The snes version had smoother running graphics for its time than the app for android and ios
I should have listened to other reviews. First minute of playing i start moving to the left and cannot stop. I seemingly cannot charge my attacks either. I LOVE this game it truly saddens me to be unable to play my childhood fav again.
Better to emulate the SNES ROM than to play this. The Android Shield TV doesn't even let you click on 'START' to play the game. An imbecile could've made a better port than this!
It brings back childhood memories...one of the best RPGs ever made but it keeps crashing whenever I want to proceed from the kakkara desert -_- please fix that...i paid money for this.
EDIT* JUST DOWN LOADED AND TRIED AGAIN AND THE RUNNING BUG SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN FIXED! I love this game, was so excited to be able to play it again. But no mater what every time I play it the character gets stuck running in one direction. You can deal with it when moving the character about, but it makes the menu impossible to navigate, constantly scrolling around and makes selecting impossible! You can fix it by clearing the catch, but it happens again and again rather quickly after you start playing. I will gladly change my rating if they fix this.....
Can't even play it. Tried in 2 devices, and it either crashes before loading or have too many in game bugs to be enjoyable. And I paid for this!! Shame on you square soft! :(
I've tried opening it three different ways (in store, apps menu, and screen) and it doesnt even open it freezes just opening it please fix this for the BLU Life tab and ill revise my rateing
Loved the game hate that I can't get any farther if I sleep at an inn our go to a Canon travel it crashes after acquiring the fire seed.
Loved getting to play this game again, but I'm running into constant fatal crashes that are preventing further progress. Occasional crashes started at the moogle village, grew in frequency until at the cannon to the desert it crashes every time. One small bug is that the movement pad jumps around, making it difficult to accurately control movements. The latter is why I rated the controls a 3.
Game was great, except now I can't leave the ice country because the game crashes at the cannon ride. It's unplayable now and I'm very unhappy.
A decent port. Some sort of delay between audio and visual, and it crashed when trying to sleep after obtaining the fire seed, but made it to the end.
Finally finished game without glitches or crashes. Max levels and all drops obtained. Doesn't workon my Samsung s6 but worked fine on my Samsung tab2 7.0 great game if yer device can play through it all.
Why are the graphics so muddled. The least they could have done was make it hd...Or at the least a bit more sharper.
I played through for several hours up until I rescued Flamie from the serpant then when I went to canon travel everytime I tried to select either place to travel the game work close and say it's not responding would also do it if I tried sleeping at the inn
Avoid this app. Almost unplayable. The framerate is horrible, which is an odd thing to say about a snes game. The animations are all screwy. Impossible to play at a decent skill level because it runs like a stop motion video. How do you screw up something like this? The snes version is buttery smooth but this version is broken. This is on an Xperia z3 which can run it just fine. It's just made poorly. Want my money back for this piece of crap.
I have love this game for 20 years. If only they allowed multi-player. Also please give put out secret of mana 2. I know it was a thing
No glitches. I took the risk to download this despite all the bad reviews. There were none of the glitches mentioned. The running style has always been this way since snes. The cannons worked perfectly. The only complaint is, the menu wheel keeps appearing when I am just trying to walk. (Activated by swiping) Oh and one more not so important thing is, they removed the weopens appearance changes, which is lame but whatevs. Still great though and happy to have it on my phone.
Make it an option to street screen to 16:9 or at least black instead of green bushes on edge of screen. Refunded. Will buy again if you add these options.
great game, was really enjoying playing until it stopped working. i am at the lofty mountains and my healing spell is bugged now and heals all enemies instead of my party i am unable to advance any further into the story and square has not answered my email about the problem. it's a huge shame because i LOVE this game please fix!!
Still one of my favs - only problem is the glitch that makes Undine magic unavailable after awhile. Recent update has not corrected it. :(
If u guys can put it on pc wiiu ps4 xboxone 3ds im just saying it give u guys more $money
Where's the achievements, cloud save, Google Play integration? Being able to play with someone online would've could've been absolutely phenomenal & was a missed opportunity. Instead, we get minimal. Great game, timeless, but this rendition isn't anything new & exciting... & then u change phones & lose all progress
Plays great on the S5, now I'd love to see an official port/translation of Seiken Densetsu 3 on Android. It's such a great game with a pretty good fan translation... But I'd personally prefer if Square could make it official for the first time in English. The entire "Mana series" should be ported to Android. Compatible with Android TV now!
I used to love playing this game as a child. Although it seems to be a little more difficult than I remember. It would be nice to see some of the jdm sequels ported over like seiken dentsu 3 as well if square enix could release legend of mana for mobile considering how powerful some of the newer phones are becoming and how extra space is more affordable.
If u love or even like action RPG try this game it's so much fun to play! Keep in mind this game came out 1993 on the SNES so graphics and items are dated and story kind off silly but it doesn't matter still give 5 stars for a fun game and every works great no crashes or freezing.
Dropping my rating from 4 stars to 1 star, read on. I'm running into bugs on my galaxy s5, android 4.4.2 ... pretty far into game, at darkness palace and suddenly Primm's heal spell causes the app to hang and the only way out is hard restart. Her current magic level says exactly "(null):4". This is a very bad bug because it means I have no healer in my party. Edit: right after i wrote this review, the game crashed and now it seems to crash once every 30 minutes. So, now I can't use heal spells and I can't play longterm... it's a good game but I would not buy again because this mobile version is increasingly buggy. I read other reviews from S5 users and they report the same bugs. I'd recommend not buying this if you're on an S5. The game is very difficult and frustrating without being able to heal, not very fun. Regret my purchase.. please fix your app, square.
Loved this game when it came out and picked it up out of nostalgia. Disappointed that it glitches when coming out of a menu. Dpad activates in a direction and constantly moves in that direction. When going in to menus, you cannot get out and can't exit the game. Have to restart your device. Even after the update, it still happens. Now you can over ride it when running, but take your finger off or go to a menu and you are screwed.

I love this game and couldn't tell you how many times I have beaten it on SNES. Sadly I didn't get very far into the game before I realized I couldn't use my Undine magic for support our healing. It gave me luna magic when I acquired sylphid magic. I don't want my money back, I just want the game to work. Would have loved to give this game the 5 star rating it deserves.
