When I was a child, I wanted to grow up to make games like Final Fantasy and Secret of Mana. This was the first game I knew of that was made by people in the USA of that style - the first time I thought I could actually do that.
The game itself is special to me, too. I love the Alchemy system, choosing spells and leveling them up. I love seeing what the dog transforms into, and I even love hearing the Boy make cheesy references to even cheesier fake B movies.
This game is so massively underrated! It's got the combat mechanics from Secret of Mana mixed with a unique alchemy magic system not seem in any other game. One of my favorite childhood games! Currently, the only way to get this game is the original SNES cartridge or by getting it "Any way you can." (Which isn't optimal.)
One of the best Snes games of all time. It brings you to 4 different times with a really nice story. Idont know how often i played it. It would be real nice to have it playable on PC or even much better with a remake or remastered.
It’s no surprise the soundtrack and atmosphere in this game is so captivating. The composer is Jeremy Soule, who also was the composer of Skyrim.
If Square doesn’t want to make a remake then I’m doing it myself!
While I never got to play secret of mana when I was a kid, I do own secret of evermore, and still to this day love this game and enjoy playing through it! I've loved the magic system where you have to repeatedly use spells to level them up and collect ingredients to be able to cast them. I especially like the different dreamscapes of the characters in the game becoming their own worlds, and think this would be a very cool idea for a VR game if they ever made a newer version of it. Always was fun traveling around with my dog no matter what shape he took throughout the levels, and if I got into a RPG for speed running it would definitely be this since I enjoy going back to it often.
This game has so much personality. Time travel, tongue in cheek jokes, Secret of Mana combat, and great music. When this game came out I got it for Christmas, and a few buddies did too. We were in middle school at the time. I remember we talked about the game at school, and we all eventually beat it. I still have the strategy guide. Would love to play it again and relive those moments!
Oh my God. One of the best RPGs ever created. I play it on my SNES and it makes me happy when i play. Me and my dog in a special fantasy world. Perfect. It should be possible to bring it to GOG! Let the RPGs live! Please GOG, add it to the library. Also all RPGs on SNES. There are an important treasure in games history!
I played it when I was little on the SNES and I loved it, it's a great game that gave us a lot of good times, although it also had its challenges. It would be great to be able to play it again. It was also fully translated into Spanish, which was not very common in those times.
Back when I had my super nintendo this is one of my most played games I had then I forgot about my super nintendo as I had moved to kentucky for 4 years my super nintendo had literally rotted from the inside out And all the games had rotted through even though the system, and games were sitting in a air tight waterproof container for 4 years in rain and all weather it still got damaged and I have not been able to play it since as no one carries it, or has it, And you only find this 5 dollar game when I got it for 100.00 elsewhere. It is perhaps the most underestimated games of all time its a gem though for those that did play it, like parasite eve 1, and 2 also.
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
