Ethan surprisingly finds her in a confused state and discovers the disturbing secret behind the abandoned house.

Secret of Mana is about a boy named Randi who finds a magic sword and sets out on a quest to revive the magic power of Mana. The remake faithfully retells the original and beloved story while adopting modern 3D graphics and controls. Secret of Mana was one of Square's alternatives to Final Fantasy during its time on the SNES. It was even named as Final Fantasy Adventure when it was released in North America. Compared to the turn-based battle system  of classic Final Fantasy games, Secret of Mana uses a real-time battle system from a top-down perspective. It feels more of an action game when compared to Final Fantasy. There are no random battles and you can immediately attack enemies as soon as you see them.

Another reason why the original Secret of Mana was such a beloved game was because it could be played in local coop. This was a big deal back in the 90's where most video games weren't powered by online connectivity and online multiplayer.

Here are the top unique features of the game:

• everything remastered in 3D
• added voice acting to characters
