Visions of Mana

くまみつー！ が癖になる

A great game from Mana, as always, but the protagonist is so good he's almost foolish in his decisions, making him look stupid in how he handles some situations. The last two chapters are almost pure filler; instead of lasting 2-3 hours, they could have been 15 minutes long and they don't change the story at all.

Attention les trentenaires et + : c'est ce genre de jeu qui font vous rendre compte que vous avez pris un petit coup de vieux ! Qu'est-ce que j'adorais ce type de jeu quand j'étais ado. Aujourd'hui, impossible de le finir tellement c'est niais et ennuyeux : - Un scénario déjà vu 25 000 fois, sans aucune tentative de renouveler la recette. - Des personnages qui n'ont pas passé l'ère #Metoo (des meufs qui courent comme des grosses dindes, j'étais persuadé que c'était fini ça. Mais non. Eurk) - Des boss ignobles qui ont pour seul force leur nombre de PV... C'est ennuyeux à mourir. Cela dit c'est très beau, l'esthétique m'a fait tenir un peu plus de 10h. Mais réservez ce jeu à votre petit cousin / frère / fils !

[h1] 一对苦命鸳鸯的打怪升级旅行之路 [/h1] 《圣剑传说 Visions of Mana》是一款围绕着圣剑和玛那描绘爱为主题的动作RPG游戏，玩家将扮演守魂人瓦尔，与被选中为火之圣子的青梅竹马阳奈一起寻找其他的圣子，并且要将她们成功护送到远方高耸的玛那之树。本作的世界观很残酷，世界的运转需要圣子们献祭生命，才能让所在的村落延续下去。在旅途的过程中，就能遇到许多已经遭受毁灭的村庄，以及那些因为不愿履行圣人职责的反面角色们，也让玩家产生疑问，主角究竟会选择怎样的道路？这也是本作的一大看点。 [h1] 结局注定是悲剧的剧情 [/h1] 在一开始的序章本作就为我们呈现了一对苦命鸳鸯的结局，试图逃避职责时的最终结局却是悲伤的，在第一章中本作的主角还碰见了他，但却没有多说什么。可能也和本做的剧情调性有关，毕竟主角是为了一个崇高的目标而牺牲，有些人会因此高兴，但在风之谷地中就有人清楚的明白这一职责背后的残酷真相而拒绝，这也让本作像是披着美好幻想的暗黑童话。剧情的节奏还是偏慢的，而且也没什么深度，特别是前面几章，本来以为会出现不同理念的碰撞，结果被选为圣子的人思维差不多一样。 旅途中两位主角的交谈也很少，只在触发主线的时候才会有交流，大部分时间都在赶路，都到风之谷村了也不休息一下，感受一下这里的人文气息。游戏里的收集要素还是挺丰富的，虽然在地图各处都藏有宝箱，但在小地图里贴心的给玩家标了出来，除此之外还有精灵石以及熊蜜等着玩家去收集探索。值得一提的是，本作并不是开放世界，而是一张张小地图组成，所以每到一个地方开传送点非常重要，要不然后续赶路得烦死。 [h1] 即时战斗玩法 [/h1] 看到此类游戏竟然是即时战斗游戏还挺意外的，一般来说都是回合制战斗，但是即时战斗也没多好，玩家只有轻击和重击两种，再多一点就有技能，想要战力提升的话就可以使用元素之力，转职还有武器附魔。等级压制非常严重，基本上只要差一两级伤害就变得很刮痧，但打赢之后也能获得大量的经验。最能体现的还是打精英怪和boss的时候。 特别是第一个boss，玩家的经验获取还是有难度的，一路赶过来把能打的怪都打了，也升不到与boss相同的等级，只能越级挑战。再加上敌方并没有耐力值等设定，玩家在击打的时候只能尽量选择弱点打击，这样才能造成可观的伤害。例如第一个boss非常的多动，玩家只要在附近两三秒就会自动释放范围打击，还莫名其妙的施展移动技能，跟魂游差不多，需要见缝插针的打伤害，大部分时间都在躲技能。 [h1] 人物世界观设定及画风 [/h1] 本作所描绘的世界还是挺迷人的，但光有风景却没有灵魂。就比如说前面几个地图，除了一些收集要素玩家需要跑以外，并没有丰富的支线任务或者随机事件来填满整张地图，感觉有点空荡荡的，基本上直奔主线，直到风之谷里才会有支线任务。 人物还是挺有特点的，比如说不同地区的人长得都不太一样，特别是风之谷，还有龙的特征，比如背后的翅膀和尾巴。再接着往前走就到了冰雪的世界，关于地形方面还是描述的挺不错的。主角团如果忽略他们的目的，感觉还是挺很有日式冒险团风味，可惜底色是悲剧的，玩家千辛万苦帮他们克服难关，结果终点是不可避免的死亡。 [h1] 结语 [/h1] 总的来说，本作是一款中规中矩的动作RPG游戏，在打击感方面以及人物性能方面还有待提高，玩家获取装备的方式很单一，而且提升战力方面也很迷，只要队友够强，在普通难度下甚至可以摸鱼让队友去打，小怪很容易打BOSS战就比较困难，太多动了。剧情的话还是原来那套，但目的不是很符合现在的价值观，比较推荐，原来就喜欢日式冒险游戏的玩家，本作的战斗不是很难，只要刷一刷等级还是很容易过的。剧情方面，这也不算雷点，只是有点膈应人而已。 [h1][quote=] [table] [tr] [th] 欢迎关注 [b][u][i]U_U鉴赏家培养计划[/i][/u][/b][/th] [/tr] [tr] [th] 关注U_U鉴赏家，开启精彩游戏之旅。 [/th] [/tr] [/table] [/quote][/h1]

Visions of Mana is an RPG I expected to be middle of the road with some charm and well, I got what I expected plus a little bit more I believe. In the short run: it’s solid, it has some shortcomings but it does try hard to deliver a memorable experience and in my honest opinion it does that well visually, the story can be hit or miss at times but at least it does a good enough job at keeping a solid pace and the gameplay provides an interesting system even if it does break apart a bit if you combine certain player classes together in a fight. I recommend it personally. In the long run Graphically it’s honestly quite a beautiful game, I spent so many times just stopping to explore the world and it’s honestly a world I’d love to see more of. Sadly it has one issue which is the UI’s size. There’s no option to change the size of the UI or even to turn it off. I was honestly quite sad to learn the game had no form of photomode because I just wanted to take screenshots of many places. While it looks quite good visually I will say it does need more options for tuning them. By default it’s presets are focused on maintaining a high frame rate or a high graphics quality and thats… kinda it, you have resolutions options and brightness settings but for the rest of the games graphics you got a basic “Low, Medium or High” selection… It's a little sad to see such a limited options menu here. Gameplay wise it’s quite solid but also quite flawed, what starts as a simple combat system does evolve into something more complex with each party member having access to 8 elemental classes that can vary in playstyle with different weapons or roles. It’s quite a good system when you don’t break it in half once you’ve unlocked all the elements. I found certain elements namely Darkness, Light and Water when paired together just made combat encounters a cake walk due to the special abilities that charges up from using the game's elemental vessels. All it takes is a light class to mark with the Light vessel, the darkness to use the special darkness attack to create a black hole spell and then let the water vessel apply what are effectively deadly water bombs that will explode en masse as every monster is sucked in and taking damage. Outside of combat it’s ok, traversal is mainly on foot with extra ways to get around as you progress in the story. Some of the ideas they had for using the elemental vessel gimmick outside of combat is interesting but they seemed afraid to mix and match these ideas. Many areas focus on one element to traverse or to solve a puzzle, heck some of the elements are basically never used outside the dungeon you get them in. I never saw any application of the earth vessels controller golems outside of the Gudjan mines that introduced it, water and air basically share the same job as platforming upwards, and the rest of the elements rarely get used outside of their introductions… which is sad because it feels…. Overly safe to me. It could have been amazing to see puzzles that mixed the elements, heck the element of darkness outside of combat acted as a swing or a way to move certain heavy objects so why could it be used to line up platforms for the light vessel to create a bridge of light for example? It’s just flawed in the end here. In terms of Audio… well I can say it’s not bad. It has the charm I recall from past Mana games I’ve played (which is sadly few) and while it loves to reuse some songs for a lot of cutscenes they are clearly well made. Sound effects in the game are alright as well. Nothing in terms of sound effects really stood out as bad to me but I will say some attacks in the game could overlay enough to cause some distortion, my main experience with this was with the dark elemental vessels special attack in combat). In the end the audio is ok to me. Visions of Mana is on the good side of ok to me, it’s worth a try if you’re interested in the game.

fun

I got this as a gift, steam deck play it is unplayable, changed the resolution and it changed language to only japanese or chinese. I could not go back to english (not an option afterwards).
