Im a sucker for action games. My favorite franchise is Ys for that reason. Excited to try this one. Like you said the dub does sounds top notch from what i have heard so far
The multiplayer option makes it an interesting game to add to my never-ending backlog. Nonetheless, in all fairness I'm not that excited about it yet unless a friend of mine wants to play it, but first we have to checkout if he likes SD3. Fun fact: As for the cool looking art; lead artists were Nobuteru Yuuki (SD3, CC and character artist of many popular anime) and Atsuko Nishida (creative designer of Pikachu and also worked on the Pokémon first gen art/designs in general such as the starter Pokémon)
Been playing this and its not bad. It really feels like a mana game. There is some flaws for the game but its mostly small things such as animation. The music really feels like its from mana.
Its on sale now, you said its not bad, do you feel like its a buy at $30 or wait for a deeper sale? I know this is old but if you do see this thank you.
@@aridrabkin9649 Hello, Its a decent game. I would say if you are into like the orignal Mana games. The music and UI is quite the same as Mana. As for the combat I would suggest maybe just checking a quick video on the game. The combat is unique and challenging when it comes to the bosses. But for the weapons its not as similar as mana games.
A good english dub (and having one at all) are essential for action JRPGs, because you can't be expected to look away from the action when someone is talking. Tales of Berseria is another action JRPG with a top class english dub.
I feel like a major missing part in all these reviews on the character progression aspect is that characters gain experience which makes them stronger. Most of the reviews here in TH-cam are missing these aspect and doesn't even show the character screen where you can see their levels.
Good point, technical character progression is the bread and butter of any RPG. And with official Mana titles at least the level progression always decided over what type of attack moves your characters could use. Noisy Pixel not mentioning much of the technical character progression just makes me expect tried and true JRPG level ups, something that doesn't need much of a disclaimer.
@@That1PissedOffBoomerworst reviewer ever. He doesnt know how to put aside his emotions when analyzing games especially ones he doesn't like or know alot of
Great review, thanks Noisy Pixel! Game looks pretty good and interesting but I am not so sure about the $50 price tag. Will probably pick this up when it goes on sale.
It looks like a budget game... Not sure how I feel about stamina attack cap system. Having no difficulty option for action rpg game is really odd. The 2D art and jp dub seem decent at least.
I was interested till I saw the amount of DLC they're launching with and the fact that some of it seems to be character specific story deets. That's just bizzare to me.
This is actually a little disappointing and I was hoping the game would have been richer in the story. I do look forward to playing and listening to the music of the game. I am sure it is still a joy to play even if it didn't turn out as good as it should have.
How did they manage to leave out the magic system from Secret of Mana? That was at least as important as the variety of weapons you could switch between. This game is looking increasingly half baked.
@@robsmall6466 well Secret of Mana doesn't exactly set the world on fire with complex gameplay systems but between the magic and weapons you definitely had three different styles of characters to play thanks to the magic system with further customization via the weapons. If you do decide to play it, play the 2D version because the 3D remake , to me, feels completely soulless (though that is not the case with the excellent Trials of Mana 3D remake).
@@PM-xc8oo Thank you. I remember the excellent reviews but thought there was a little bit more to it gameplay wise. I would like to try the original one day. It's a shame they didn't keep the 16bit aesthetic for this game or go for a 32bit 2D look instead. It seems to lack a bit of character but I may give it a go
@@robsmall6466 I know there is a collection of the three 2D mana games that came out a few years ago. That is probably the way to go for playing any of them if you don't want to go the emulation route or buying 30 year old hardware.
I see already some reviews some of them didn't like the game cuz they don't know or like the secret mana series. But the other half really love the gameplay cuz they love mana. So depends more if you're a fan or not of the gameplay style.
Thanks for the review. The DLC is what really turned me off from this game. I hate when I see a game released with just blatant cash grab DLC like bonus character for $4. It's like they had the whole pie, then cut it into slices to sell for more.
I'm tired of this but I'm not paying money unless it's good first. I really don't like the art direction or aesthetic appeal. But I love me some secret of Mana music.
Do you tell people every time you don't buy something? "This carton of eggs is not a buy for me I'm gonna pass on these eggs" "This t-shirt is not a buy for me I'm gonna pass on this t-shirt" Imagine going to a car lot lol. "This blue car is not a buy for me I'm gonna pass on this blue car" Take five steps to the next car "This other blue car is not a buy for me I'm gonna pass on this other blue car" Walk to the next car, 40 more to go ... "This red car is not a buy for me I'm gonna a pass on this red car"
@@TheRealAero who says I'm angry? You chill out. Do you call Skyrim an Arpg? The Witcher an Erpg? What does it matter what country it's from. They're RPGs that's what real gamers called them growing up. Correcting a useless term doesn't mean I'm angry. You're assuming that, it's on you.
Three player local coop made this an instant buy for me and my family.

With so much stuff coming up I had forgotten about Trinity Trigger, thanks for the review and for reminding me.
Thanks for the review! Definitely excited to pick up the physical day one edition & just have some fun. 👍
I've been keeping my eye on this game for some time. Glad to hear it meets expectations.
Already have mine preordered. Been waiting for this one. Great review….
Excellent review. Can't wait for my copy to arrive. Also enjoyed the unboxing.
I love your reviews, they genuinely make my gamer day brighter.
This was a good review and swayed me into buying this title. Good job!!
awh we're glad! Have fun

looks beautiful ❤️ thanks for the review
This game kinda reminds me of those final fantasy crystal chronicles DS games. Thanks for the review!
Hope it gets an update for a Hard difficulty.
Been playing this and its not bad. It really feels like a mana game. There is some flaws for the game but its mostly small things such as animation. The music really feels like its from mana.
Well its Hiroki Kikuta same composer that made music for secret of mana .
Its on sale now, you said its not bad, do you feel like its a buy at $30 or wait for a deeper sale? I know this is old but if you do see this thank you.

This is a damn good review. You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber. Keep up the good work…. Or else! 😈
So many positives said and almost no negatives and then game gets only 7,5. 🤨
having no negatives doesn't mean perfect just means it has no glaring problem but is still average
It’s the wrong type of game, appeals to much to gamers and not enough to journalists, same with shmups arcade games ect , a lot of genres
I'm gonna buy it.
I feel like a major missing part in all these reviews on the character progression aspect is that characters gain experience which makes them stronger. Most of the reviews here in TH-cam are missing these aspect and doesn't even show the character screen where you can see their levels.
If you want a better version of this review it's more favorable and a better review, look up David Zinc's.

Crazy I’ve seen reviews that are night and day for this. Wasn’t gonna buy it now I see this and I’m thinking about buying it again 😂
Just picked up the collector's edition today. I went with the PS5 version.

Was this footage docked or handheld? Does handheld run at 60fps?
so hyped after this rev
Might check it out when its on sale. Easy difficultly is for me
2 Questions, One: when did the English Trinity Trigger version get released? Two: Where is your Advance wars Review?
Third Question: does Trinity Trigger give u vibes of "Hexyz Force" on the PSP?
@@FirstLast_Nba oh wow hexyz force, that's a blast from the past lol 😂
Releases tomorrow in the US.
Tomorrow can't come soon enough. Is the switch version 60fps?
this game is not 60FPS u dumb a** stupid idiot
@@stevenjohnson8736 Go get a girl and stop hiding on the internet with fake a youtube channel.
Can't see the replies... Switch version is ok? 🙂
A good review, but I must take away points for not mentioning opinions on multiplayer…
TLDR: Is there a endgame/post-game at all?
This looks like an early 2000s mmo lol
I’m here too kill chaos…

Always wanted to play The Secret of Mana. This game looks quite basic. Is it really comparable to Mana and what else have they left out ?
@@robsmall6466 well Secret of Mana doesn't exactly set the world on fire with complex gameplay systems but between the magic and weapons you definitely had three different styles of characters to play thanks to the magic system with further customization via the weapons.

Is it worth trying if I'm not a fan of the Mana series?
I see already some reviews some of them didn't like the game cuz they don't know or like the secret mana series. But the other half really love the gameplay cuz they love mana.
So depends more if you're a fan or not of the gameplay style.
Also available on PS5.
Will be fun game
Does the main character have a love interest
This or trials of mana?
Thanks for the review. The DLC is what really turned me off from this game. I hate when I see a game released with just blatant cash grab DLC like bonus character for $4. It's like they had the whole pie, then cut it into slices to sell for more.
Really hate companies that need nostalgia to sell their games.
Does it has any romance?
Secret of mana to me school. This game more like Crystals from Nes.
I'm tired of this but I'm not paying money unless it's good first. I really don't like the art direction or aesthetic appeal. But I love me some secret of Mana music.
No magic gg
I tried it, it's decent but it's way too simple and too easy and at the same time the story really isn't very interesting.
$69.99 (⊙_◎) and the late game feels rushed? Nah pass.
Pro tip: JP Voice overs for full JRPG immersion.
Looks to Linear and all the money grab dlc items is another turn-off.
Soup
Looks like a mobile game tbh.
man shut up
Its action RPG and not action JRPG. Change the header of your video to properly word it.
🙄
Shut up dude 😂
Audio and editing need work. Appreciate the effort and the review.
.........chained echoes...."mic drop"
this game is not a buy for me im gonna pass on this game
Stfu bitch. No one cares.
Do you tell people every time you don't buy something?
"This carton of eggs is not a buy for me I'm gonna pass on these eggs"
"This t-shirt is not a buy for me I'm gonna pass on this t-shirt"

"This blue car is not a buy for me I'm gonna pass on this blue car"
Take five steps to the next car

Walk to the next car, 40 more to go ...
"This red car is not a buy for me I'm gonna a pass on this red car"
Ok.
We don't give a 💩
Action JRPG? Really? How cringey.
Just call it action RPG and be done with it. Jesus.
Well there are different types of rpg games and some people may want to know that. Chill out and relax, it’s not that serious lol
Haha that’s what I was thinking :P
@@TheRealAero who says I'm angry? You chill out.
