Trials of Mana adds in controller support and achievements in surprise new update

Trials of Mana, the beloved 3D action RPG from Square Enix, has received a significant update for both its standard and Apple Arcade versions. This highly anticipated update introduces controller support and achievements, enhancing the gameplay experience considerably. While details regarding Android support remain unannounced, it's a strong possibility given the positive reception to the iOS update.

This update arrives at a fitting time, following the release of Visions of Mana last year. The enthusiastic response from fans underscores a key point: the touch controls on many mobile RPGs, including previous iterations of Trials of Mana, can be challenging for some players. This often prevented potential players from experiencing this excellent game.

The Mana series has long been a favorite among JRPG enthusiasts seeking an alternative to the Final Fantasy franchise. While the touch controls were functional for many, they presented a significant barrier to entry for others. This controller support update removes that hurdle, allowing a wider audience to appreciate the game's rich visuals and engaging gameplay.

This update makes Trials of Mana, available in both its standard and enhanced editions, even more accessible. While Android users are currently awaiting confirmation of the update, the improved control scheme and addition of achievements are sure to enhance the experience for iOS players. For those seeking a new RPG adventure, Trials of Mana is definitely worth exploring.
