About

While incorporating action role-playing game elements from the three games which preceded it, Legend of Mana has its own distinct style of gameplay. Most notably, it gives the player the ability to shape the game's world of Fa'Diel according to his or her desires, a system which was incorporated through the use of "artifacts," which are gained as the player progresses through the game. The player uses the artifacts to create different towns, dungeons, etc., called "Lands", to venture to and explore. This creates a non-linear gameplay, since the game is driven by a series of what would be considered side-quests in other games. Legend of Mana features three different plots which can occur simultaneously, and which do not necessarily need to be completed for the player to finish the game. Legend of Mana was a financial success in Japan. While the game garnered considerable praise for its graphics and presentation, many critics and fans were turned off by the game's lack of a main storyline.

Frequently asked questions

Can I play Legend of Mana on PC, Mac or Linux?
There is no known port for Windows, macOS and Linux yet.
Do I need the original game?
You need your own copy of Legend of Mana. Projects rebuild the game's code, not its art, audio or levels, so they read those from the copy you already own.
Is there a decompilation of Legend of Mana?
Legend of Mana Decompilation is a decompilation of Legend of Mana. It turns the original machine code back into readable source, the groundwork most native ports are built on, but not something you play on its own.
Is anyone working on a port of Legend of Mana?
Nobody has published one on RecompHub yet. Games people want that still have no port are listed under What to work on next.
