Rise Of Mana

The Secret of Mana series, known in Japan as Seiken Densetsu, is one of the many role-playing game series that have been out of the spotlight for a few years. Since the release of Heroes of Mana on Nintendo DS, the series hasn’t received another console entry. The series isn’t completely dead, though, as Square Enix launched a free to play game called Circle of Mana in Japan a few years ago and recently another one called Rise Of Mana. This free to play action role playing game has also been ported to PlayStation Vita earlier this year and it has managed to become quite successful.

Earlier today it’s been confirmed that Rise Of Mana has been downloaded on PlayStation Vita over 150.000 times since launch. To celebrate this good result, Square Enix has confirmed that from today until September 6th players will be able to take on a time limited quests where they will have to fight three enemies taken from Seiken Densetsu 3 – Bigieu, also known as Isabella, Deathjester and Koren. You can take a look at some screenshots showcasing the three characters right below.

Rise Of Mana has been released on iOS and Android in 2014 before getting ported to PlayStation Vita this year. The game is a return to the action role-playing game roots of the series, also featuring 8-player co-op and more. Even though it is a free to play game, Rise Of Mana is apparently much better than some of the previous entries of the series, managing to offer a gameplay experience that closely resemble the classic entries of the franchise that players all over the world love.

Rise Of Mana is now available in Japan on smartphones and PlayStation Vita. Even though the game has been trademarked in Europe a while back, there are no news on a possible Western release. We will let you know more as soon as more on the matter comes in so stay tuned for all the latest news.

The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
