Trials of Mana: Surprise Update Adds Controller Support and Achievements

Square Enix continues to enhance its mobile gaming portfolio, notably with the recent update to Trials of Mana, a beloved 3D action RPG. This update introduces much-anticipated controller support and achievements, now available for both the standard and Apple Arcade versions. This enhancement is especially timely given the recent release of Visions of Mana and its collaboration with Last Cloudia, spotlighting the enduring popularity of the Mana series.

The addition of controller support addresses a significant issue highlighted by many fans: the often cumbersome 3D controls on mobile devices. While touchpad controls suffice for many, the precision and comfort offered by a gamepad can transform the gaming experience, potentially drawing in players who were previously deterred by control challenges. This update is a game-changer for those who've longed to dive into Trials of Mana but were held back by control issues.

The Mana series, known for its appeal to JRPG enthusiasts seeking alternatives to the ubiquitous Final Fantasy franchise, continues to captivate with its rich storytelling and engaging gameplay. Trials of Mana, available in both its original and enhanced 'plus' versions, promises an immersive experience that's now more accessible than ever with controller support on iOS and Apple Arcade. Although Android users are yet to receive this update, there's optimism that it may soon be on its way.
