LOCAL MULTIPLAYER FOR UP TO THREE PLAYERS
Secret of Mana was a blast to play alone, even better with friends. Capitalizing on the inherent party vibe which the SNES cultivated, Secret of Mana allowed up to three players to play the game together. The experience puts a real emphasis on teamwork and crawling through dungeons with your friends was always a special experience.
The action-oriented combat was also perfectly suited for multiplayer, keeping the pace up so that no player was left waiting for their turn for too long. In an era where there were a tonne of co-op experiences to choose from, Secret of Mana stood out for the simple fact that it was a full-length RPG which you could enjoy with your friends. Don’t get me wrong; beating your buddy in Mario Kart is great, but it’s got nothing on saving the world side by side.
