Trials Of Mana Demo Impressions

<p>The <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;bagogames&period;com&sol;trials-of-mana-reveals-dungeon-exploration-and-boss-gameplay&sol;">Trials Of Mana<&sol;a> demo is surprisingly the best demo I’ve played in a long time&period;  I don&&num;8217&semi;t say that lightly either&comma; as after I played the <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;bagogames&period;com&sol;final-fantasy-vii-demo-first-impressions&sol;">demo<&sol;a>&comma; my expectations though high&comma; have been greatly surpassed&period; The first thing you&&num;8217&semi;ll noticed when playing the demo is how the game slaps you in the face with its newly remade visuals&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter wp-image-155954 size-full" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;cdn&period;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2020&sol;03&sol;28140718&sol;trials-of-mana-2-1&period;jpg" alt&equals;"Trials Of Mana World" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; center&semi;">A New Look<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>The environments are colorful&comma; vibrant &comma; and welcoming yet almost blinding&period; The menus are beautiful&comma; well detailed&comma; and easy to navigate&comma; as well as not being too complicated or overwhelming&period; Other than the amazing 3D visuals&comma; the music also complements the retro <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;bagogames&period;com&sol;the-top-30-final-fantasy-games-according-to-japan&sol;">JRPG<&sol;a> feel reminiscent of the original games&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>When I wasn’t staring in awe of the visuals&comma; I also enjoyed the new fast-paced combat system&period; It’s all in real-time&comma; with simplistic yet flashy combos and moves&comma; so you won’t have to go into multiple menus for each and everything you do&period;  I also enjoyed using the new dedicated jump button used to transverse some parts of the levels to attain some items and treasures&period; It’s also as useful in traversal as it is in combat&comma; letting you jump attack enemies in the sky&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter wp-image-155952 size-full" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;cdn&period;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2020&sol;03&sol;28140605&sol;Trials-of-Mana-NSP-1024x576-1&period;jpg" alt&equals;"Trials Of Mana Combat" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; center&semi;">But No Challenge<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>My only concern with the gameplay was that it’s a tad too easy at the moment&period; This may change as this is only the beginning of the game&comma; but I did not encounter any challenges whatsoever throughout my time with the demo&period; The enemies telegraph their attacks and hit much slower compared to the player character&period; And after switching to Hard difficulty&comma; I was still able to defeat the final boss of the chapter easily&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>I also noticed how the game uses an autosave system that not a lot of <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;bagogames&period;com&sol;jrpg-fix-needed-tales-zestiria-review&sol;">JRPGS<&sol;a> use&comma; making it even easier&comma; especially as the game already provides you with statues to save your progress while also topping off your health&period; Hopefully&comma; the challenge will increase suitably later on&comma; as if it stays like this&comma; its enjoyment wouldn’t last long&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>When not in combat&comma; you’ll be sitting through cut scenes which again&comma; have amazing 3D visuals&comma; but the English voice acting was a bit off&comma; and filled with mostly cheesy dialogue&period; Luckily the game gives you an option of switch between Japanese and English Voice&comma; which helps make it less awkward to listen too&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter wp-image-155953 size-full" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;cdn&period;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2020&sol;03&sol;28140627&sol;Trials-of-Mana-1320x743-1&period;jpg" alt&equals;"Trials Of Mana" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; center&semi;">Final Thoughts<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>Overall&comma; I enjoyed my time with the <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;trialsofmana&period;square-enix-games&period;com&sol;" target&equals;"&lowbar;blank" rel&equals;"noopener noreferrer">Trials Of Mana<&sol;a> Demo&period; It’s surprisingly quite generous on the content as it will take you about an hour or two playing your first go at it&comma; before you eventually switching to another character to play their side of the story&period; The download size was about 7GB on PlayStation 4&comma; so not that bad&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>If you choose to play the demo&comma; your data would be carried on to the full game should you decide to purchase that as well&period; Trials Of Mana has successfully improved on a lot of things holding it back in the earlier games while also not losing the charm it’s had from the beginning&period; So while the demo had its notable downsides&comma; I still advise RPG fans to try it out as it is worth the time&period; The demo is currently available on PC&comma; Nintendo Switch&comma; and PlayStation 4&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><strong>Are you a fan of Trials Of Mana&quest;
