Secret of Mana is one of the most beloved RPGs of the SNES era, so when Square Enix put in on iOS, and then later added MFI controller support, it was great news for vintage action JRPG fans everywhere. Fortunately enough, Square has decided to put it on sale again for just $3.99, down from its usual $8. That’s matching the lowest price have ever tracks on the excellent iOS port.

As mentioned above, and as with many of these classic ports, Secret of Mana on iOS plays (much) better with an MFI gamepad.

This Ring Command menu system for which the Mana series is so well known was first introduced in Secret of Mana and has since appeared in most games in the series.
