When I heard about this I was like Wow cool a Mana game for the DS! When I got it though I soon realised that it wasn't what I thought it was. I was hoping for something like sword of Mana but better considering it for the DS ( better graphics and such). I was very wrong.... the combat is much faster paced and the equipping of gems and finally being able to buy weapons unlike Sword of Mana realy added something new and not only that the Bosses are much more challenging the one in Sword of Mana. even though unlike Sword of Mana there is only one town (the other areas are just dungeons) and the dungeons get very repetitive (each dungeon has a certain amount of floors you have to go through to get to the boss but each floor is seems like it repeats over and over again with just randomized objects). The story is fairly good but is very hard to understand (even I still don't quite get it) and the character sprites are well made and the music is quite good along the anime cut scenes. I bought this game even though it had bad ratings so if you still want to buy it think very hard about it. Sword of Mana is stl way better eve with it's lame bosses and Lunar Knights (another dungeon crawler just like this game) are both Wayyyyyyy better than this game.
