Seiken Densetsu 3 Wiki

Trials of Mana, as you may know, is a 3D port of the Super Famicom game 'Seiken Densetsu 3'. I played this game many years ago with a fan-translation patch, and in the RPG community, Seiken. Seiken Densetsu 3, released in 1995, is the third game in the World of Mana series and is the first one that never made it Stateside, though fan translations do exist via Emulation. It plays very similarly to its predecessor Secret of Mana, but instead of being able to charge attacks, the meter builds with a successful hit on the enemy.

Ahhh, the famous Seiken Densetsu 3. Calling this game “Secret of Mana 2″ in front of the romhacking “scene” elite will earn you a quick correction, let me tell you something.

Just think, all the newbies just take it for granted that SD3 is in English. You guys didn’t have to endure the sheer pain that came before. The dull, empty void. Such is the way of all translations, I suppose.So yeah, this is Seiken Densetsu 3, which is (still) to date the only game in the series to not make it overseas. It’s a damned shame too, because this installment is unquestionably the best. Sure, Secret of Mana may give it some competition, but I couldn’t stand SoM for some reason. And the less said about Sword of Mana the better.SD3 uses the old Squaresoft crutch of multiple playable characters within the same timeframe (see: Rudra, RS3).

Guess a sketch online game. The whole “see the same events from a different perspective” thing works out really well here, it turns out. I seem to say that about every game, though. As far as gameplay, if you’ve played Secret of Mana you know what to expect. If you’ve played the others in the series, like Legend of Mana or Final Fantasy Adventure well, you still know what to expect: run around and hit things with your sword. It’s like Zelda, Squareified, for a complete lack of a better comparison.Hiroki Kikuta returns (I think) to compose the music in SD3. The end result is gorgeous. The game comes highly recommended, but play the game for its music, if nothing else.
