JRPG classic Secret of Mana is currently on sale for £2.49 / $3.99 (down from £5.99 / $8.99) on the App Store.

Released in 1993, Secret of Mana is best known for introducing the innovative 'Ring Command menu' which streamlined menu usage.

With a tap of a button, a circular menu pops up. You can then perform a variety of actions such as changing your equipment and using items without the need to trawl through several different menu screens, as was the case with many JRPGs at the time.

Who's the man-a

The plot revolves around the protagonist Randi and his friends Primm and Popoi who are trying to prevent the empire from taking control of the the Mana supply, a mystical power and limited energy source.

At review we gave Secret of Mana a Bronze Award, describing it as "a charming adventure packed with memorable characters, scenarios and gameplay".

We finished with: "Secret of Mana remains enjoyable in spite of control issues and minor audio quirks."

Head over to the App Store right now to [buy] Secret of Mana while it's still cheap.
