### 4/5 — Please Make The BackBone Analog Stick Work! Much appreciated

*2023-03-12*

Please Make the BackBone Analog Stick Work! So It would be great ~

### 4/5 — Mana excellence

*2022-08-09*

One of the best mana games. It looks fantastic and the score is wonderful. Minus one star for not fully implementing backbone support.

### 3/5 — Controller support

*2022-06-30*

Backbone works and so does Xbox one controller.  Only the DPad works.  No analog stick at all.   I’m pretty sure the analog works on steam version of this game but not here.   It’s vital to allow controller support for these games and make sure everything works.  I already own this game on steam and ps1.  The only reason I got it here, is to play on the go without having to bring my switch along.   Please fix the analog issues!

### 3/5 — Touch controls, no Apple TV version

*2022-04-28*

The touch controls are difficult to use, controller support is necessary for rpgs. Please make this and all remasters usable on Apple TV. Also, please bring Chrono Cross to iOS!

### 5/5 — Nostalgic Game ever

*2022-03-13, version 1.0.2*

I went to buy some old games because I have missed my childhoos games, I never expected that this out of many games came here in app store. So glad that this come. Kudos to square enix

### 5/5 — Ностальгия во все поля

*2022-01-16, version 1.0.2*

Это та самая игра из детства, играть исключительно со звуком для более качественного сведения олдскул. Порекомендовал бы геймпад для игры, просто для удобства.

### 5/5 — Lovely

*2021-12-26, version 1.0.2*

Just the way I remembered it. Oh how I miss the soundtrack

### 5/5 — 믿고 가는 스퀘어에닉스

*2021-12-16, version 1.0.2*

내 어린 시절의 그 감성 그대로 돌아왔네요

### 4/5 — 한글 있습니다

*2021-12-15, version 1.0.2*

뉴 게임 누르면 선택 가능하고 그 이후부터 적용됩니다. 스팀 생각하고 메뉴에서 찾다가 없길래 환불할뻔... 게임만 보자면 별 10개도 모자라는 게임이지만 로딩이 전체적으로 너무너무너무너무 느립니다. 폰은 SE2 사용중인데 폰 문제라기엔 와이프 12pro로 해도 그닥.. 최적화 이슈인듯.. 그것만 빼면 좋습니다. 아 터치패드는 SE2 로 하기엔 너무 화면이 작아서 엑박패드로 하고있습니다. 가상패드는 폰이 작다면 조금 불편하실거에요 참고하세요

### 5/5 — 感謝復活這款遊戲

*2021-12-14, version 1.0.2*

小時候和弟弟玩著PS one兩個人一起征戰
起初完全看不懂日文的表達意思
後面漸漸懂了片段
玩了許多年

多想再跟弟弟一起玩這款遊戲⋯⋯
但是弟弟已經做天使了⋯⋯

### 5/5 — How every port SHOULD be

*2021-12-14*

This is absolutely positively an amazing port. Honestly, better now than when I played it as a youngling. Love it!!! 5 stars all the way. It’s expensive but worth it for sure :)

### 1/5 — No sounds, Crashes upon entry to domina

*2025-01-14, version 1.0.2*

Didn’t even make it to Domina

### 1/5 — Bloquage

*2023-03-23*

Bonjour, 
Je suis bloqué au téléchargement dans le jeu… comment débloquer ou ce faire rembourser car vraiment déçu

### 1/5 — TRASH

*2022-10-27, version 1.0.2*

…

### 1/5 — 爛透了

*2022-10-15, version 1.0.2*

哭啊！
有檔案要下載根本就不能用
以為找到回憶了

來騙錢的嗎？

### 1/5 — Really a bad port

*2022-03-23*

Unfortunately this is the worst port that squareenix has done so far. 
The UX is quite bad and the controls should be redesigned. 

If I compare this game to any other Port they’ve already done, this is by far the one that feels wrong. Especially when the game is really good.

### 1/5 — 沒有中文

*2021-12-22, version 1.0.2*

沒有中文

### 2/5 — ...

*2021-12-13*

Square enix va bientôt vendre à activison aussi lol, ff 9 supprimé, des nouveaux jeu en anglais sans français, la y’a une maj de 1,6 go pour legend of mana au bout de 3 min de jeu, et ça bloque à 0 ça veux pas télécharger, pk y’a pas tout d’un coup là avant de lancer le jeu, ou au bout de 3 h de jeu si ça plait vraiment. Bref blizzard qui déçoit, maintenant square enix, vous faites trop de jeu aussi ça ce voit l’appât du gain, faites moins de jeu et mieux, je dit pas qu’il sont nul mais ça sert à rien de faire 30 jeu en 10 ans. Faites en moins et mieux quoi sérieux c’est square enix... 
Ah autant pour moi ça met juste 3 plombes à actualiser le téléchargement en faite ça avance.
Bon puis au bout de 10 min de jeu je suis coincé puis je regarde la solution et... bah en faite faut jouer avec la soluce c’est un puzzle sociale ce jeu en faite ^^’  avant d’acheter spoilez vous un peu le jeu sur la soluce, je m’attendais à un jeu de combat de fou type hack and slash lol

### 3/5 — 無法使用手把

*2025-07-14, version 1.0.2*

希望可以支援手把遊玩

### 3/5 — Shows its age

*2023-02-20*

I like the whimsical open world and one of the best video game soundtracks ever composed, but three big issues keep me from fully enjoying this game: combat mostly consists of button mashing and searching for small hit boxes; the menu is not intuitive; and the art style doesn’t match between the retro characters and the modern backgrounds.

### 3/5 — Nice game but controls are awful

*2022-09-30*

I love this game and was happy to see it available but for 27.99$ it should have workable controls as of now it’s just awful and almost unplayable with the way it is. I hope they can fix this bug otherwise the game would be 5 stars!

### 5/5 — Олдскулы свело

*2025-10-12, version 1.0.2*

Одна из любимых игр детства,все работает идеально,порт шикарный,прошел уже раз 20. Если вы хотите получить то самое приключение к которому можно вернуться не один раз,то крайне рекомендую к покупке !

### 5/5 — 复古耐玩

*2025-01-11, version 1.0.2*

好玩

### 5/5 — THANK YOU!

*2024-09-04*

I love this game from it’s appearance on PS1! My favorite part of Mana Series! Thank you so much that gave me an opportunity to dive into nostalgia and continue to play it on my phone! 10/10! P.S. Now waiting for Front Mission 3 and Chrono Cross ports so much! Another masterpieces!

### 5/5 — O melhor, e mais lindo jogo que já joguei em toda minha vida!

*2024-08-05*

Não tenho como expressar o meu sentimento por esse jogo, sempre joguei, desde que tenho 6 anos de idade.. já zerei ele diversas vezes que sei de cor toda linha de história que eu gosto de seguir. Agora com o remake feito, estou achando perfeito isso! Espero que você que chegou aqui jogue ele e se divirta intensamente.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2023-06-08*

「レジェンド オブ マナ」は素晴らしいゲームです。まず、このゲームを可能にした関係者の名前を最大5回まで挙げさせていただきます。Akitoshi Kawazuさん（プロデューサー）とKoichi Ishiiさん（デザイナー・ディレクター）、本当にありがとうございます。感謝の気持ちを込めて、私の子供時代と現在の創造力スタイルに与えたポジティブな影響について述べると共に、Yoko Shimomuraさんの音楽と作曲家としての素晴らしい才能に深い敬愛の意を表します。彼女の作曲は私の日常生活の一部となり、日常の家事をする際にも特定の曲を喜んで聴いています。このゲームをオリジナルに忠実に再現していただいたことに対する感謝の気持ちも述べます。長い間ビデオゲームをプレイしていなかった私にとって、この美しい複雑なストーリーテリングの世界に没頭できたことに深い感謝の意を示し、子供時代の曖昧な記憶から蘇った子供らしい驚きを再燃させたことにも感謝の意を表明します。このゲームの言葉が私の心に響いています。「過去が未来になる瞬間」、この言葉を胸に刻んでいます。

### 5/5 — My favorite childhood game now available on iOS!

*2022-12-25, version 1.0.2*

I have been waiting for the time when I could finally play this game on a mobile device without using an emulator. Thank you for bringing this gem of a game to a wider platform!

### 5/5 — Better controller support

*2022-10-06*

The game looks decent, but I miss two things:
- Analog stick movement support
- Hide semitransparent bottons on the screen

### 5/5 — Great action rpg

*2022-10-06, version 1.0.2*

Most important you can use a controller to play this game.I think this is a remastered version of a PlayStation 2 rpg,it looks and plays really well on my iPad and is a very decent price compared to what it cost originally.

### 5/5 — Finally

*2022-08-05, version 1.0.2*

*** NOTE*** the game is actually 2.2gb and not the 600mb the description reads. After you start a new game; before entering the first town it will download the remaining 1.6gb. I had to reorganise a device to allow this so take note.

It’s a tad frustrating playing on a phone, but I’ve just cloud saved my game to my iPad and use a Bluetooth controller and I couldn’t be happier.

A good few hours in, no bugs or glitches that I have encountered.

Such a wonderful game, criminally overlooked in its time for its 2D graphics in the age of blossoming 3D technology. The soundtrack is what you’d expect from Squaresoft’s golden age - on par with Chrono trigger/cross or any final fantasy. Absolutely beautiful. It’s been remastered for this port - I just immediately switched it to the original. I’m here for the nostalgia, baby. 

I first got this game on its release in ‘99 and played the bejeebus out of it - this port is perfect so far to relive those memories.

### 5/5 — Requesting controller support

*2022-03-31*

Requesting controller support
