This action RPG nailed the RPG part of the game. Too bad the action's a yawner

It's a shame that combat in Children of Mana is so mindless. The ingredients are there to make this a really excellent action RPG. Unfortunately, it wasn't cooked for long enough and you're left with an action RPG with great RPG elements and trite action. There are lots of things this game does right, but ultimately it fails to live up to its potential.

You'll love
  • Beautiful and unique art style
  • Soothing music
  • Strong RPG elements
You'll hate
  • Trite combat in dungeons
  • Laborious boss fights
  • Mediocre use of weapons
