This game looks gorgeous and plays well, but I wish they could have managed to put co-op via link cable.

Sword of Mana, a remake of the original Game Boy classic, offers a vibrant and charming world for action RPG fans. While its gameplay echoes the enjoyable combat of its predecessor, Secret of Mana, it also introduces new mechanics like weapon forging and elemental spirits. Unfortunately, the experience is hampered somewhat by repetitive grinding and occasionally frustrating design. Still, for fans of nostalgic adventures and the Mana series, it's a worthy addition to your GBA collection.
