About Mana
Mana is Square Enix's action RPG series where almost every entry tells a standalone story about the Mana Tree and the Mana Sword, so release order is the play order. The list below covers the console and handheld games in release order and points to the current remake wherever one replaces the original.
Good to know
The Japan-only mobile games Friends of Mana, Circle of Mana, Rise of Mana and Echoes of Mana are excluded because each service has shut down and they are no longer playable. Start with Secret of Mana or the Trials of Mana remake, then try Visions of Mana for the modern entry.
