Trials of Mana Surprise Update: Controller Support and Achievements Added

Square Enix continues to enhance its mobile gaming offerings, particularly with the beloved JRPG, Trials of Mana, which has now been updated with controller support and achievements. This update applies to both the standard and Apple Arcade versions of the game, allowing players to use their preferred gamepad on iOS devices. While there's no news on an Android update yet, it might be on the horizon.

The timing of this update is noteworthy, especially following the release of Visions of Mana last year, which also features a collaboration with Last Cloudia. The positive feedback from fans underscores a significant issue: the often cumbersome 3D controls in mobile games can deter players. This is particularly disappointing for the Mana series, a favorite among JRPG enthusiasts seeking an alternative to the Final Fantasy saga. Although touchpad controls work well for many, they remain a barrier for some.

Self-controlWith this update, Square Enix aims to make Trials of Mana more accessible, potentially drawing in players who have been hesitant due to control issues. The game, available in both its original and enhanced forms, boasts stunning visuals and a gameplay style that fans of the series will find familiar. If you've been holding off on playing Trials of Mana, now might be the perfect time to dive in, especially with the improved controller support.
