Echoes of Mana announced with a trailer
Square Enix has announced Echoes of Mana with a trailer, which you can find at the head of the news. This is a new chapter in the famous series of action role-playing games, in this case designed specifically for mobile systems, namely iOS and Android. So we are talking about a free-to-play with microtransactions and slot machine mechanics, which will be available in 2022, on a date yet to be determined.According to the little that is seen in the trailer, as often happens on mobile the game will collect many of the main characters of the series, probably unlockable with luck rolls, as is the case with other similar titles. The announcement came on the occasion of the streaming for the thirtieth anniversary of the series, from which it is likely that many were expecting something very different.
Unfortunately it must be said that titles of the genre in Japan go for the major, with millions of players ready to spend money on it, so it's only natural that Japanese publishers have completely embraced certain mechanics.
