Breathing new life into the popular MANA™ franchise, HEROES of MANA brings the beloved series into an entirely new dimension. For the first time in the franchise's history, players will plan, plot and strategize their way to victory on the battlefield, all through intuitive Touch Screen capabilities. With the use of the stylus, players can amass great armies, command troops and experience an all-new perspective on the ever-evolving battle for the world of Fa'Diel.
"HEROES of MANA takes the WORLD of MANA™ series into an exciting direction by allowing fans to command heroes and monsters in new ways," said Koichi Ishii, producer of the WORLD of MANA series. "By using the Nintendo DS Touch Screen, players can immerse themselves in the game's vibrant environments and challenging gameplay. Our goal was to create a more active, passionate experience for MANA fans and fans of strategy games by pushing the boundaries of game design."
Taking advantage of the Nintendo DS Wireless functionality, stylus generals can compete in intense head-to-head multiplayer battles, and compare stats and rankings with players across North America through the use of the Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection. Skilled players can also earn bonus maps and other items based on their ranking.
