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

Author : Aaliyah Mar 17,2025

Trials of Mana, the beloved 3D action RPG from Square Enix, has just received a significant update! Now featuring controller support and achievements on both Apple Arcade and iOS versions, this long-awaited addition is sure to please fans.

The timing of this update is particularly noteworthy, following the release of Visions of Mana last year. The enthusiastic response from players highlights a key issue many mobile gamers face: finicky touch controls. While touch controls suffice for many, they've proven a barrier to entry for some, preventing them from experiencing this excellent JRPG.

This is a missed opportunity for those seeking an alternative to the often-played Final Fantasy series. The Mana series offers a unique and compelling experience, and this update removes a significant obstacle for potential players.

Self-control

This update makes Trials of Mana more accessible than ever. Both the standard and enhanced versions are available, though Android users will have to wait for this update. With stunning visuals and classic gameplay, now is the perfect time to dive into the world of Trials of Mana!
