Secret of Mana is an action role-playing game, featuring real-time hack-and-slash type of a combat. The game was developed and published by Square (now Square Enix) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment. Like in Quest for Glory games, you have a stamina gauge. The more stamina you have, the more powerful your strike is. You upgrade your weapons and abilities and meet many different types of monsters, while roaming around the country and performing your quests.
