DS Fanboy Review: Heroes of Mana

Heroes of Mana is like the stereotypical middle child — it’s not an RPG, and it may not be as responsive or intelligent, AI-wise, as some RTS fans would like. It’s not exactly traditional Mana fare, either, so some franchise fans are understandably wary. Toss in a somewhat annoying tutorial, and unfortunately, it seems like Heroes of Mana might be easily missed … which is a shame, because there’s a lot of fun to be had here once things get going.
