Well-Versed In The Classics - Episode 11

The Mana/Seiken Densetsu Series! Formerly one of Square's flagship properties, the Mana/Seiken Densetsu series began on the Game Boy but is best known for the 1993 smash SNES hit Secret of Mana. Each subsequent game in the series has struggled in the shadow of that landmark title, but they admirably tried to do something different while creating a consistent "World of Mana" between them. Even the Square USA-developed and Mana-inspired Secret of Evermore managed to stand apart, thanks to smart writing and a presentation designed to appeal to Western audiences. In this episode, we take a look at each of the major entries in this revered-yet-divisive series and offer our thoughts on its enduring popularity.
