Heroes of Mana coming to the US

Square-Enix announced that the strategy RPG / RTS hybrid, Heroes of Mana, is coming to North America in “late summer”. In the game you command an army of rabites to gather resources with the touch screen and summon armies of mana monsters to attack. Roli O. has an extensive write up about Heroes of Mana, which highlights how it plays and the online features. I wonder how Square-Enix is going to handle the Seiken Densetsu 3 tie in… Anyway, there are more screenshots of Heroes of Mana past the break.
