Secret of Mana started life as a launch title for the SNES CD add-on that never came to fruition. When the add-on was canceled, Square decided to release the nearly complete Secret of Mana. Sadly, a fair amount of content was cut to fit the game into a cartridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with shortened dungeons and a condensed story, Secret of Mana still manages to distinguish itself as an excellent 16-Bit Action RPG. A wide assortment of weapons, 3 player co-op, an imaginative game world, and a great sound track set this game apart from many of its contemporaries. It also has some of the best animations I&#8217;ve seen on the SNES. All in all, Secret of Mana more than earned its place in gaming history considering the difficulties its developers faced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/retromaggedon.com\/index.php\/secret-of-mana-snes\/\">Click here for more on Secret of Mana<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Would you like to see your favorite game win Retro Game of the Month?
