The weak reception was most apparent when Square Enix revealed its results in the first half of fiscal year 2007. Internationally, the game wasn't well received either, earning mostly mixed reviews, according to Metacritic.
"However, people can be wary of the unknown, and perhaps the lack of exposure the RTS genre receives in Japan caused some hesitation." "It is our belief that we succeeded in creating a highly playable and enjoyable RTS for the DS, and we are confident that we provided the users who did play it with a new, innovative experience," Ishii said in an interview with Cubed3. Instead, it fell to the wayside without penetrating the market in any meaningful way, despite the producer's confidence and good intentions. He knew this, and he had hoped Heroes of Mana would be the game to break the mold. Unfortunately for Ishii, the consumer market in Japan at the time wasn't ready to embrace RTS games.
