Dawn of Mana

Dawn of Mana, as the title suggests, focuses on the origins of Square's Secret of Mana action role-playing game series and tells of the creation of the Mana Tree and the Sword of Mana. The game is set on the once idyllic island of Illusia, where the life-giving Mana Tree has withered and turned to stone. Illusia is in desperate need of a hero and calls upon one of its own to save the land from a terrible threat. Players will accompany this young warrior on an epic adventure that will take them through a fully 3D world for the first time in the series. From majestic plains to towering mountains, the interactive environments in Dawn of Mana offer a variety of places to visit, characters to meet, and creatures to battle. The battle system once again runs in real time. Players can jump, strike with swords, fire projectiles and even wield a whip that can cling to objects.
