Visions of Mana Demo offers a taste of the brand-new entry in the series built around the sacred sword and mana. It introduces the protagonist Val and his childhood friend Hinna, newly appointed as the Alm of Fire, as they set out on a journey to the Mana Tree, meeting companions along the way and beginning to glimpse the truth about their world and the question of whether fate must simply be accepted.
The demo showcases the game's iconic vibrant and vast semi-open field, populated by adorable yet ferocious monsters and traversed swiftly with new companions called Pikuls. Combat draws on the power of the Elementals through three-dimensional battles, letting you switch between different classes and characters to match your playstyle, with fighting that has grown both spatially and strategically more sophisticated.
Bold graphics carrying the series' signature Mana flair render a world alive with spirits, while an immersive soundtrack of roughly one hundred tracks, complete with interactive music in the field, sets the tone. A sampling of a returning classic fantasy series going back to its roots, this action RPG demo on PC lets players preview a new Mana tale before diving in fully.
