'Heroes of Mana' (NDS) - 22 New Screens

by Rainier on Aug. 10, 2007 @ 10:53 a.m. PDT

Heroes of Mana will be a mix of RPG and RTS, where the protagonist's name is Roger, a natural leader and excellent swordsman. You will need to gather resources, summon monsters, and engage the enemy, with combat occurring in real time, as in previous Mana titles.

For the first time in the history of the series, stylus-wielding generals must plan, plot and strategize their way to victory on the battlefield. Utilizing the Touch Screen to the fullest, players take full control of the battle as they gather resources, assemble armies and experience an all-new perspective on the ever-evolving battle for the world of MANA.

Roget, a soldier of Pedda, is on a reconnaissance mission to Ferolia with his companions, when their aircraft is shot down by the enemy and abandoned by their carrier. The crew comes to realize that the mission was a plot by their own superiors to eliminate them, with the invasion on Ferolia being only the first step towards Pedda's domination of the world. Witnessing the atrocities committed by the Peddan army, Roget and his crewmates are forced to fight against their own countrymen.
