"Trials of Mana Surprise Update: Adds Controller Support and Achievements"

Square Enix continues to expand its footprint in the mobile gaming world, and the latest update to Trials of Mana is a testament to this commitment. The 3D action RPG has now been enhanced with controller support and achievements, a much-anticipated feature for both the regular and Apple Arcade versions on iOS. While Android users are yet to receive this update, there's hope it might arrive soon.

The timing of this update couldn't be more perfect, coming on the heels of last year's Visions of Mana release and its collaboration with Last Cloudia. The overwhelmingly positive feedback from fans underscores a common challenge: the often clunky 3D controls in mobile games. For many, this has been a barrier to fully enjoying titles like Trials of Mana.

This is particularly unfortunate for the Mana series, a beloved choice among JRPG enthusiasts looking for something beyond the well-trodden paths of Final Fantasy. While the touchpad controls are adequate for most, they've proven to be a significant obstacle for some dedicated fans.

With the addition of controller support, Square Enix is removing a major hurdle, potentially enticing those who have hesitated to dive into Trials of Mana. Available in both its standard and plus editions, the game's vibrant graphics and engaging gameplay now become more accessible. Although Android users are still waiting for their update, the anticipation is high.
