*heavenly choir sounds!* it is here and it is good (Secret o' Mana 2). bsnowotter
This game is the sequel to secret of mana. Sadly, this world we live in is home not just to light, brightness and joy but also to darkness and evil. Thus, the dark lord satan intervened and prevented square soft from releasing this game in the USA. He also made them make it two player only, and in Japanese. But do not despair. Like the movie the Matrix, where our savior, Neo, from his pirate ship the Nebuchadnezzar along with Morpheus and Trinity hacked into the net and righted the wrongs of the evil system that held humanity in bondage, so too did righteous hackers steal this rom, translate it from Japanese and implement 3 PLAYER MODE, like Neo pummeling the evil agent smith, in this case square soft and their conspirator The Lord satan, and leaving them to be squished by a speeding train.
This game like it's legendary prequel is a multiplayer action RPG with a deep and robust combat system, including a complex magic system and multiple playable characters all with distinct, loveable personalities. This sequel ups the ante with tons more characters, each with their own origin story, you can choose any 3 characters to form your party and any of the six to be the main focus of your story. This adds tons of replay value to an already flawless masterpiece. Improving on the secret of mana is no easy feat, but here they pulled it off.
I should point out that thanks to vizzed net play, now mana lovers across the world can enjoy this classic together and in 3 player mode. Satan will never win, good will always triumph eventually.

Did i mention the multiple characters each with their own origin story? Talk about replay value. And this is a square RPG at heart, the wonderful story and complex human characters further motivates the player to kill monsters, level up and save the world.
Difficulty 5
Not too hard, not too easy, if you run into trouble, grind for experience! Lol
For requesting vizzed add the 3 player version of this game, you are welcome. Thank triune as well for making this happen. What are you waiting around for? ENJOY :)
