User summary:
Originally carrying the title "Seiken Densetsu 4", Dawn of Mana is the fourth (main) installment in the Seiken Densetsu (Mana) series, and part of the "Mana revival" in 2006.
While the famous Seiken Densetsu 2 (Secret of Mana, 1993, SNES) was an action RPG with a multiplayer co-op function, and Seiken Densetsu 3 (1995) and the PSX game Legend of Mana (1999) both imitated the three-character party system, Dawn of Mana is a 1-player game only, and focusing more on the action aspect. Instead of just attacking the enemies on screen, the player is supposed to pick up things and throw at them, stunning them temporarily and then attack. The game is in full 3D.
