Heroes of Mana

Background

Take control of Roger, a skilled sword combatant in the Pendan Kingdom army. Using an air ship as your base, summon monsters to defeat oncoming enemy attackers.

Gameplay

Battles begin by players sending out a single monster to gather resources from trees and other resource points located on the battle map. Once you have enough resources, you build a facility for summoning a monster, which, once summoned, can be sent out to battle. Each facility can be used to summon one monster.

Once you've built up an army, it's battle time. You first have to send out a single unit to scope out the battle area and find enemies. Once the enemy has been found, you take control of all your army members, giving out specific instructions that are then carried out automatically until either you or the enemy dies, or you enter new commands.
