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

Exciting news for fans of *Trials of Mana*! This classic 3D action RPG has just received a significant update, bringing long-awaited controller support and achievements to both the Apple Arcade and iOS versions. Now you can enjoy the game with your preferred gamepad.

While Square Enix continues to expand its mobile gaming portfolio—with recent successes like the popular *Final Fantasy VII* spin-offs—*Trials of Mana*'s update is a welcome addition for longtime fans. The timing is particularly interesting, given the release of *Visions of Mana* last year. The enthusiastic player response highlights a key issue many mobile gamers face: finicky touch controls.

For many, these controls have been a barrier to entry for *Trials of Mana*, a real shame considering the game's appeal to JRPG fans seeking a fresh alternative to the *Final Fantasy* series. While touch controls suffice for some, the addition of controller support removes a significant hurdle for others.

This update makes *Trials of Mana* more accessible than ever. The game is available in both its standard and enhanced versions (though Android support for this update is currently pending). With its stunning visuals and engaging gameplay, now's the perfect time to jump in and experience this JRPG gem!
