About Children of Mana in brief
Children of Mana is a 2006 action role-playing game for the Nintendo DS handheld console. It is the sixth game in the Mana series and the first in the World of Mana subseries. The game was a moderate commercial success, selling more than 280,000 copies in Japan by the end of 2006. Critics praised the graphics and music as beautiful and unique, but found the combat simplistic and repetitive, and the story insubstantial. It was designed by series creator Koichi Ishii, directed by Yoshiki Ito, and produced by Takashi Orikata and Katsuji Aoyama. The main character typically has no companions; however, there is a cooperative multiplayer option for up to four. Unlike previous games in the series, the majority of the gameplay takes place in selected locations rather than on an open world map. The player can not return to previous floors unless they die or leave the dungeon; upon returning, they start the dungeon over at the beginning. Unlike earlier Mana titles, Children is a heavily action-oriented dungeon crawler, in which the player progresses by completing randomly generated levels. It features four weapons with their own unique abilities: sword, flail, bow and arrow, and hammer. Different weapons can have different effects on the environment, such as the player’s ability to smash pots. In addition to weapons, the player can select from one of eight Elementals in which magical attacks and attacks can be made stronger by equipping Gems. Several years ago, an event known as the Tree of Mana took place at the base of the Mana Tree, and many lives were lost.
At the center of the tree is the island of Illusia, which stands the point of the game’s beginning, the beginning of the world of Fa’diel, and where the game takes place. In the game, many lives have been lost during this event and many brave people have taken up the challenge of protecting the Mana Village from the invading monsters. The Mana Village has shops to purchase equipment, which can be used to improve your character’s abilities. The players can also switch between Elementals, which provide different magical enhancements to their attacks and can also boost the player’s attributes. Like many of its predecessors, the game features a local cooperative multiplayer component, which allows the player to play with other players in a local multiplayer mode. It also features a top-down perspective in which characters navigate terrain and fight off hostile creatures. Like previous games, Children of Mana features a real-time battle mechanics, with four weapons available to attack with at a time, and any of the four character options can use any weapon. Each weapon has standard normal attacks, special attacks, and fury attacks. The fury attacks are the strongest and require a full Fury Gauge to use, which is filled by striking enemies with standard attacks and taking damage from enemies. When not clearing dungeons, the players can visit the Mana village, which contains shops to buy equipment.
