FAN ART
Story is interesting and fun even for a new player to the MANA series.
World is huge and feels alive and alot of stuff to do and is very fun to explore and so many secrets and much more to do.
Controls are easy to pick up and easy to understand.
Enemies are impressive as alot of variety to them and all have own attacks to learn in order to beat them and all have own look.
Characters are cool as all have own look and own personality to them.
Difficulty options is nice to suit everyone.
Classes are impressive as so many as every character has 8 different classes they can be and all have own look and weapons and stats and all have own feel and so much more it crazy as so much choice.
Combat is fun and fast paced as action based instead of traditional turn based in JRPGS but so fun and fast is great and easy to get used to for everyone.
Can be daunting as alot to learn as so many skills and classes and all have own feel make it hard to know which one to pick first.
OVERALL SUMMARY
Overall can be hard to pick which class as so many of them and so many possible builds. However for £59.99, the story is fun and has easy to learn controls and easy to pick up with nice difficulty options and tons of enemies all have own look and own attacks and so many build potentials as all have own look and own weapons and own feel to them and nice fast paced action combat not turn based and the world feels alive and can loose hours exploring and finding stuff and so much more to the game I LOVED THE GAME.
