Visions of Mana: Friends, foes, screenshots and more

CrashTestDummy


Visions of Mana is just days away!

You can start playing this bold and vibrant new action RPG from August 29, when the game launches for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Windows, and Steam. That’s not long to wait, but it feels long, right? After all, when you’re waiting for something exciting to arrive, the tick tock of the clock seemingly grinds to a halt.

So, to make the wait a little less excruciating, we thought: why not give you one last little glimpse into what to expect from the full release? After all, we’ve showcased the main party, and how you can use Elemental Vessels in both combat and traversal, but that’s just scratching the surface of what the game has to offer.

From charming allies to fearsome foes, let’s take a closer look at Visions of Mana.

Characters

Eoren

Eoren, a Gaian traveler, hails from Gudju, the Earth Village.

He keeps stumbling upon Val and Hinna during their travels and seems very curious about the alm’s pilgrimage.

Lyza

Lyza is a former soul guard and Val’s mentor. She’s an upbeat gal, beloved by everyone she meets, but it’s her fighting skill and fierce determination that have always been an inspiration for Val.

They say she’s resettled in Gudju.

Daelophos

Long ago, a champion was chosen by the Goddess, gifted the Mana Sword and the 8 elemental vessels, and sent to subdue the Benevodon monsters.

The legend of his heroic deeds has been passed down through the ages in song and stage alike.

Harbingers of Disaster: Benevodons

Originally from a different realm than both mortals and spirits, each fearsome Benevodon monster possesses the powers of one of the eight elements. When mana power began to dry up, these harbingers of disaster broke through the weakened barrier between realms and attacked.

Benevodon of Darkness, Zable Fahr

A horrifying triple-headed monster with dominion over the powers of darkness.

The left visage wields physical power, the right utilizes magical might, while the center brings destruction and chaos.

Benevodon of Wind, Besseroth

A divine being of crackling thunder and raging storms. It dwells atop a mountain plagued by wailing winds and is responsible for the weather phenomena in the area. Besseroth also maintained the region’s diverse ecosystems back when it was venerated as a deity.

Friends and allies on your journey

Niccolo

Collect Niccolo Coins on the field and trade them in for useful items on your journey. Pay a visit to Niccolo and he’ll fix you right up!

Madeline, Francine and Christine

Three beastfolk siblings who travel the world to peddle their wares. They were orphans taken in by Niccolo, and easily adopted his keen eye for business.

Madeline (left) is the eldest sister and an easy-going soul.

Francine (middle) is the middlest sister. She’s quick-witted and business savvy.

Christine (right) is the youngest sister. She loves excitement and intrigue.

Li’l Cactus

Li’l Cactus is a plant who loves to travel and play hide and seek all over the world. Don’t forget to pick up the pages of his diary if you find them.

Dudbears

Dudbears are happy to trade valuable items for their favorite delicacy – Grizzly Syrup. It might not be a bad idea to brush up on your Dudbear language skills to learn more about these critters.

Elemental Aeries

Elemental Aeries are strange altars or towers you can find in the field.

The elemental spirits will present you with special rules to follow, like unlimited use of elemental vessels, when completing the difficult trials within.
