Echoes of Mana was a mobile game in the Mana series.

Announced during the series' 30th Anniversary streaming event in June 2021, the title was a gacha-centered MMO battle RPG featuring characters and settings from then-current worlds in the Mana universe. It was released on both Android and iOS as of April 27, 2022 (UTC).

Though Echoes was well-received among fans of Mana and earned praise for its storytelling and artwork, developers eventually struggled to maintain acceptable quality of service, and the game was shut down May 15, 2023 (UTC).

Story

“Worlds of patchwork are echoing to you.
You awaken, surrounded by nothingness except for a single tree
The Mana Tree—the very source of all life,
and yet, it is set to soon disappear...
The last sanctuary in a place where all has already been lost.

Only the Mana Sword can save the Mana Tree and the worlds still weaved in its branches.
If only the sword were not lost as well...
Guided by the Mana Goddess, you must venture into patchwork worlds, meeting friends and foes both familiar and brand new as you piece together memories through the Echoes of Mana.”

—Official website description

The player character awakens in the Sanctuary of Mana upon being summoned by the Mana Goddess. The once-hallowed ground is now virtually devoid of all life and memory; and yet again, the Mana Sword is nowhere to be seen. The lack of mana power means that the Goddess can only maintain her avatar in short bursts, and so she must send our hero to restore the world and retrieve the fabled blade from Echoes—memories of this and other worlds borne of the fruits of the Mana Tree. To complete this monumental task, the Goddess also sends the winged ram familiar Baashear as the hero's guide and companion.

The pair picks the ripening Beginniberry from the tree and is teleported to the hamlet of Pinzton, where they are met by a throng of strange creatures before help arrives in the form of a perky lance knight and a down-to-earth mage, both in training. Together, these four will team up with other heroes of worlds past and present in their search for the Mana Sword.

Season 1

Chapter 1: Beginniberry: Problems in Pinzton

As our hero begins their search for the legendary Mana Sword, they are teleported to an echo of their home, Pinzton, and are immediately ambushed by gangs of odd-looking goblins called Knitwits. Help soon arrives when Duffle and Honeycomb join in on the battle. The trio works diligently to liberate the village and is successful, though they are soon waylaid by a mysterious black figure whose sole mission is to stymie the hero and prevent them from obtaining the holy blade.

Chapter 2: Verdigourd: The Mana Sword Song

Still debating the mystery of the man in the black armor, our hero is pulled back to the Sanctuary to pick another fruit and continue the search for the Sword. This time, they land near Potos Falls, where they meet up with a trio of adventurers on the cusp of destiny. Here, too, unusual monster activity has thrown a wrench in history, leaving the sprite Popoi to search for their companions. Though the highborn elf Primm is quickly found and joins them to beat back the fiends, the reluctant swordsman Randi proves far more elusive. Still, they find him on the verge of taking up his Mana Sword. It is not the Sword our heroes seek, and so they move on.

Chapter 3: Epicorn: Legend on the Lake

Returning to the Sanctuary again at a loss, our heroes soon find a new nut blossoming on the Mana Tree. They find themselves back in their home world, where the two young warriors from Pinzton greet them standing on the edge of a lake. They agree to investigate the odd ruins at the center of the lake, for there are countless rumors of a sword entombed within. To reach the ruins, they need a boat--and one shady green sales-kitty thinks he has just the thing. As if on cue, a lupine bowyer has sniffed out his scam and scares him off. The boat is weathered, yet remains serviceable enough for our heroes to go adventuring. Within the ruins, a young arachnoid outlaw defends her territory against all invaders, though her poison sting is no match for our heroes' increasing might. Humbled, she joins their band. Out of concern for their safety, the bowyer, Blainchet, also joins. The troupe soon encounters a fiery phantasm clad in armor, which they vanquish after a hard fight. Finding no sword, our heroes must once more part ways.

Season 2

Chapter 3: Soulpepper: Wandering Bonds

With Honeycomb now in their ranks, our heroes must resume their search for the Mana Spirits and put the kibosh on Dema's diabolical scheme. Their next mission takes them into the bowels of Mavolia, where the wolfkin warrior Blainchet was thrown during Dema's emergence. Desperate to find kinship with his own kind, Blainchet is thrust into a deadly spat between Larc and Sierra. As he reflects on his past, can Blainchet find solace in his former allies before death claims him?

Chapter 4: Pricklemelon: Darkness Before Dawn

After the misadventure in the netherworld, our heroes report back to Goddess Nona having picked up Salamando and Undine while sparring with Gossamare. Still with more questions than answers regarding the element-eating abomination amidst Dema's hideous master plan, they are sent off to an oddly dark Ice Country, where the Scorpion Army has found a new chief. Our heroes must locate the origins of the region's bizarre atmosphere as they once again must halt Dema's advance. But will a certain sharp-tongued outlaw go her own way, or can she be convinced to once more join the side of good?

Chapter 5: Paircherry: Locked Memories

Having recovered Raxa and Shade, our band of heroes returns from the Ice Country all the stronger, but grows frustrated by the lack of information regarding the dueling sister goddesses and their motives as they continue to search out a way to thwart Dema and her minions. A reluctant Nona offers another glimpse into the pair's troubled past, where the hero finally learns of their true origins and purpose. Can they defy destiny and recover the final Mana Spirits, or will Gossamare finally get his revenge?

Gameplay

Overview

Echoes of Mana follows with gameplay of a typical mobile MMO. Players assume the role of protagonist Quilto/Quilta as they awaken in a lifeless world and must restore it from memories based on the worlds of the greater Mana series. The Mana Goddess sends our hero forth with a spirit named Baashear as their guide and companion, and together the pair will recruit other allies to aid them on their quest.

How to battle

Battles in the main story are fought in real time as groups of missions divided into fixed waves, wherein players will be graded on their performance in order to collect in-game rewards such as currency and raw materials. Each mission is to be completed as efficiently as possible. Players are given exactly five minutes to complete any mission. Both foes and allies can move and attack in any direction on a given field, and can deploy various Special Techniques (ST) and summon Mega Spirit Magic when the required conditions are met.

Events, etc.

Main article: Event (Echoes of Mana)

Other play modes are also available. In addition to main story quests, players can also participate in eight permanent resource quests and a limited daily series of quests for hero EXP, Memory Gem materials, and Lucre. From time to time, designated player-vs-enemy co-op quests as well as side stories (Events) may become available, and are played in the same manner as regular story battles.

Acquiring party resources

As a gacha game, players may summon (Harvest) various heroes and Memory Gems of the series either one-by-one or as a bundle using both free and paid currency dubbed Spirit Crystals, with paid currency applied first.

Memory Gems

Main article: Memory Gem

There were 123 memory gems in Echoes of Mana.

Relations to other games

References to other Mana games

Being a crossover installment, Echoes of Mana features many references & easter eggs to previous games in the Mana franchise.

General

• Legend of Mana – The concept of harvesting fruits may be a nod to the similar activity practiced in Legend of Mana, where the main character plucked produce from Treant's branches after planting various seeds in the orchard.
• Adventures of Mana – The Ebon Knight bears lots of physical similarities with the Dark Lord, who also inspired Stroud from Dawn of Mana.

Opening

• Just like Children of Mana, Heroes of Mana and the remaster of Legend of Mana, the game features an anime opening.
• Children of Mana – The elemental Undine is summoned in both openings by a spellcaster.
• Children of Mana – Both protagonists, in this instance Ferrik & Quilto respectively, hold the Mana Sword toward the sky, unleashing a burst of light.

Character selection

• Legend of Mana – Players have the option of selecting a male or female protagonist at the start of the game. The Echoes of Mana character selection screen is strikingly similar to the Legend of Mana one, down to the two large character murals, ornate decor, round shapes surrounding said murals, and spotlight over the selected character.

Prologue

• Trials of Mana – The beginning cutscene and setting closely mirrors Hawkeye's opening gambit when he's been jailed for unwillingly killing his best friend Eagle. However, the young thief is imprisoned by a Nevarl agent in this iteration, while in the original he's detained with Isabella & Flamekhan facing him. Also, the soundtrack playing is different.
• Dawn of Mana – The expression "Child of Man" is used by the Mana goddess & Baashear is similar to Treant's one in Dawn of Mana, calling Faye Child of Spirit and "Child of Hope".
• Children of Mana – Gaia even calls the main character but Wanderer "Child of Man" and Treant "Child of Illusia". This seems to be a common saying in the franchise since the protagonist in Echoes of Mana has the option to call Baashear "Child of Ram" upon first meeting.

Chapter 1

• Friends of Mana – Pinzton's layout looks very similar to the main town in Friends of Mana, especially with the central Mana statue in the main plaza. The same concept was lated reused in Rise of Mana.
• General – Duffle references the fact Lady Moti is from a clan of merchants, as they can be identified by the 'weird dance' they do all the time.
• Adventures of Mana – There is also a call back made by Duffle to the Gemma Knights who protected the Mana Swordsman right after Baashear is being saved by the knitwits who kidnapped him.

Chaper 2

This whole chapter is based on Potos Village and the areas surrounding it.

• Right from the start, Popoi mentions the Cannon Man missing his shot after landing on the protagonist in the middle of Potos outskirts.
• Popoi uses the same terms they used in Secret of Mana HD to refer to their partner Randi & Primm, which are 'Bro' and 'Sis'. They even call them & the harvester 'lackeys'. The protagonist even has the option of calling them 'Boss' in one dialogue option.
• While reuniting with Primm, Popoi references the time when Randi got banished from Potos Village when he pulled out the Mana Sword.
• Elliott & Timothy, Randi's acquaintances in the beginning of Secret of Mana, return in Potos Village and greet the party in an unfriendly manner.
• The ghost of Serin also makes an appearance just after the adventurers' visit to the village, guiding them to the waterfalls were Randie lies.
• An earthquake is felt just before a Mantis Ant shows up, both Popoi and Randi calls it out in both game. Both creatures make a hole out of the ground, although in the case of Secret of Mana, Randi & Elliott fall into it while the monster emerges from it in Echoes of Mana.
• The rusted Mana Sword is seen wedged in a rock in the middle of a stream in both games. Randi is instructed to pull it out by Serin's ghost almost exactly like in Secret of Mana.
• The background soundtracks reused from Secret of Mana HD in this chapter are: Color Of The Summer Sky, Danger, Into The Thick of It, Together Always.

Chapter 3

• Secret of Mana – Nicco's design is a nod to Neko, as both of them are travelling salescat.
• Legend of Mana – While Neko was infamous for overcharging items & services to players, Nicco's personality seems more aligned with Niccolo, who would not hesitate to outright swindle and con people into buying his merchandise.
• Trials of Mana HD – Blainchet swam accross Lake Ryama to get into the ruins. This can be a stuble nod to Kevin who also swam to get across a large body of water. Both are also wolf people.

Chapter 4

This chapter's settings are Heavenway, Gusthall and Celestal Peak from Trials of Mana.

• Flammie, the Winged Defender from the Wind Kingdom of Laurent is a key character in this chapter.
• Wind statues make a comeback inside Gusthall, as well as their switch from the enhanced remake. There is even a scout quest segment requiring the player to rotate the statues, making their ways to the exit.
• The Amazonian Guard & Elliot are mentioned by Riesz.
• Hawkeye tries to kiss Riesz just like he did in an optional cutscene during Laurent's invasion by Nevarl in Chapter II.
• He also mentions the light spirit Lumina he met in Cascade Cavern right before a Fullmetal Hugger pops out in front of the party.
• Faerie also makes a cameo at the end of the chapter, explaining to the protagonist they have been rejected by the Sanctuary of this echo.
• Hawkeye assumes Flammie's gender to be male, angering the winged creature. Riesz correctly identifies her as female. This mirrors the same event in Trials of Mana when the party meets with the Winged Defender for the first time before flying to the Sanctuary. Riesz even nicknames her 'Flammie' just like Faerie did in the original.

• Trials of Mana – Faeriewood is very similar to Lampbloom Flower, using the same bell-shaped flower in the background and having the same soundtrack Don't Hunt The Fairy playing.

Chapter 6

• Adventures of Mana – The story Dema tries to follow is loosely based on the one Sumo becoming a Gemma Knight.
• Legend of Mana – The segment right after the Dollhouse is heavily based on the second half of The Lost Princess sidequest in Legend of Mana. The protagonist teams up with Elazul to find Pearl who is behind a rock guarded by a Du'Inke. The background music, Earth Painting & Pain the Universe for the boss, is the same in both settings. The story segment even references the quest name.
• Dawn of Mana – The third setting in this chapter is based off the first Chapter of Dawn of Mana in which Keldric & Ritzia explore the Great Tree's labyrinth. Stone balls are used in both games to push forward & create paths. At the end of the segment, Ritzia is revealed to have touched the roots of the Great Tree, just like in the original installment.

• Legend of Mana – The monstrous beast the Ebon Knight transforms into is reminiscent of the centaur form Larc takes in the Underworld.

Foreshadowing

There are hints that the initial Mana goddess of the first season is not what she appears to be.

• At the very beginning of chapter 4, Baashear tells the Mana Goddess he's working really hard to fulfill his task. She replies: "Yes, I know very well that you are." This hints at her ability to spy into every echo the Harvester has been investigating so far.
• At the end of the second battle with the Ebon Knight, the one taking place atop Flammie in the sky (Chapter 4), the black knight declares the Harvester shall not get the Mana Sword. He then add: "I know you're out there, listening... I...will..stop you..." before flying off.
• The Ebon Knight turns out to be right, since the moment the Harvester finds the true Mana Sword, they can hear her congratulating them and pleading them to hurry back to the Sanctuary.
• At the very beginning of Chapter 6, the Harvester finds themselve in a blue void, with the Mana Goddess's voice echoing, saying she will 'get it all back. [Her] world... [her] sister... No matter what it takes...
• The hairdo the two dolls Dema & Nona are playing with have bears a strong resemblance to those of the male & female main characters. This might be a slight hint that the harvesters are being manipulated.
• Child Dema seems to be adamant about following the story the twins are making up and seems to be patronizing her sister Nona. He actions in the future seem to reflect this controlling attitude.
• After this cutscene, the little girl Dema speaks with the Havester inside the dollhouse right after her twin sister bolts, telling them this feels like not the first time she's asked them for help.
• During the Dawn of Mana segments, the heroes can hear an otherworldy voice saying phrases such as "Why did you leave me?", "Why you, and not me?" and "Give it back! It's MY destiny, not yours...". This foreshadows adult Nona becomming the next Mana Goddess instead of her sister, as seen in a flashback in season 2, chapter 6.
• When the protagonist reaches Nona at the end of the chapter, she tells them about the ritual taking place inside the Mana clan when a Mana Tree dies and how her sister Dema was chosen to be the next one. Nona feels like her sister is overprotecting her and carries all the burden.
• During chapter 7, Sumo & Baashear meet with Julius disguised as Sumo and decide to tag along. During their search for the Mana Tree, both adventurers see a visions of the Mana Goddess coming through Julius. Near the end of the chapter after being unmasked and defeated by the party, Julius asks the Harvester why they are siding with Sumo as they share the same ambitions. Baashear retorts they a nothing alike, but the evil sorcerer replies this fact isn't true if they work for the Mana Goddess.
• At the beginning of chapter 8, Mousseline appears before a distressed protagonist, tellin them she will help them should they abandon their mission to find the Mana Sword. The hero refuses, which prompts the faerie to warn him not to come crying to her when all this blow up to their face.
• The Ebon Knight mentions the name of Dema after being defeated by the Harvester at the end of chapter 8, revealing they are connected. He also told the hero he is the wielder of the Mana Sword and not them. This harkens back to child Nona telling Diospyros he's just like the hero of the twin's story, destined to be a great swordsman.
• Flesh-piercing ritual by the Mana Sword is foreshadowed by a faerie back in chapter 5.

The protagonist originally being gifted half of the same soul as their twin & slowly becoming their whole person is hinted at times.

• At the end of chapter 6 of season 1, the protagonist reunites with the young girl Nona, who tells them even though her and her sister Dema may be two halves of the same heart, they are still different. She then pleas the Harvester never to forgive that fact for them too. The next things they see after being warped is their clone inside the Sanctuary of Mana.
• Right after waking from their vision from chapter 6, the Harvester asks their doppelganger who they are. The twin replies they are them, which puzzles the protagonist even more.
