As the release of Secret of Mana remake approaches, new elements of gameplay are being shown to give a preview of what fans, new and old, can expect from the updated classic adventure.

During a special preview event, DualShockers was allowed to play through a small dungeon called Moon Palace. Aside from watching me fail at landing attacks on enemies because I was still getting the hang of the battle system, you can check out mechanics that players will encounter while exploring dungeons.

We see at a certain point I have to use Sylphid's "Analyzer" magic on a crystal which revealed to me that Lumina's magic will get me through the door. These mechanics won't be discovered without some effort by the player through trial and error, but the satisfaction of doing something on your own might be worth the time put into getting through them all.

If you'd like to know more about Secret of Mana remake, check out our preview of my time with the game. 

You can check out the video below, the gameplay showing the Moon Palace's mechanics begins at 5:05.
