Game-specific assessment

Pros & Considerations

Co-op

Local multiplayer and repeatable dungeons make it easy to treat as a portable session-based Mana game.

Battles

Real-time movement, timing and ability use make execution and positioning part of every encounter

Progression

Equipment, skills or party systems provide persistent build choices between encounters

◇Consider

Repetition: Procedural dungeon floors and mission structure are much thinner than the exploration in core Mana entries.
