Square Enix continues to enhance its mobile gaming experience, notably with the beloved 3D action RPG, Trials of Mana. The game has just received an eagerly anticipated update that introduces controller support and achievements to both the standard and Apple Arcade versions. This is a significant improvement, especially for players using the Apple Arcade and iOS versions, who can now enjoy the game with their preferred gamepad.
While there's no news yet on whether Android users will receive similar updates, the community remains hopeful that it's on the horizon. This update comes at an opportune time, following the release of Visions of Mana last year and its collaboration with Last Cloudia, stirring excitement among fans. Yet, it also highlights a persistent issue within the mobile gaming sphere—the challenge of 3D controls, which have often been a barrier for many players.
The Mana series, known for its appeal to JRPG enthusiasts looking for something beyond the Final Fantasy series, has been somewhat hindered by these control issues. While touchpad controls work well for many, they've proven to be a significant hurdle for others. This update, therefore, is a welcome change that may encourage more players to dive into the world of Trials of Mana.
Self-controlWith this update, fans who have been hesitant due to control issues now have a compelling reason to explore Trials of Mana. The game remains available in its mainline and plus versions, boasting lush visuals and a familiar gameplay style that should attract those who've been waiting on the sidelines.
