  • Trials of Mana now features enhanced gameplay with full controller support and achievement tracking
  • The Apple Arcade and iOS versions now support your preferred gamepad for seamless play
  • Android support remains pending but may arrive shortly

Square Enix continues innovating in mobile gaming, building on successes like Final Fantasy 7 spin-offs. Trials of Mana, their acclaimed 3D action RPG, recently received a significant update introducing controller compatibility and achievements across standard and Apple Arcade editions.

This enhancement arrives timely alongside Last Cloudia's Visions of Mana collaboration. Fan enthusiasm highlights a persistent challenge—many players find traditional touch controls limiting for 3D mobile RPGs, creating accessibility barriers.

It's particularly unfortunate since the Mana series offers JRPG enthusiasts fresh adventures beyond Final Fantasy. While touch controls suffice for many, some players require alternative input methods to fully enjoy these immersive worlds.

ytEnhanced Playability

This controller update could finally convince reluctant players to experience Trials of Mana's magic. Available in standard and enhanced versions (though Android awaits update), the game's vibrant aesthetics and refined mechanics now offer superior accessibility for those awaiting better controls.
