Hack and Slash Dungeon Crawling At Its Finest!
Don't mistake this for an adventure/RPG. It is pure hack and slash fun. The dungeons are colorful and there is a nice map for you to explore. If you only play the main story line and don't attempt any of the mini missions your game will be over quick, which is the only fault of this game. You can choose different mana sprites representing various elements to come with you to give you magical attacks. You also can equip various weapons and upgrade in various ways. Lots of great armor and other stat changing equipment.
The plot is also interesting; something horrible is happening to the Mana Tree and you must solve the mystery and save the world! You get to choose from one of four character types to play as. I played as the main male hero character, but there is also a girl character, a child/kid type and a rabbit. Choose a name and weapons and off you go!
Colorful and bright, a great game, it holds a permanent and important place in my DS game library.
