Square Enix continues to expand its mobile gaming horizons, especially following the success of their Final Fantasy 7 spin-offs. A prime example is their 3D action RPG, Trials of Mana, which has just received an eagerly anticipated update. This update introduces controller support and achievements to both the standard and Apple Arcade versions of the game, enhancing the overall gaming experience on iOS devices.
The timing of this update couldn't be more perfect, coming shortly after the release of Visions of Mana last year, which also ties in with Last Cloudia. The enthusiastic response from fans underscores a prevalent issue: the often cumbersome 3D controls in mobile games. Many players have expressed frustration with these controls, which can be a significant deterrent, despite the touchpad controls being generally adequate.
This is particularly unfortunate for the Mana series, which has long been a favorite among JRPG enthusiasts seeking an alternative to the Final Fantasy series. While the touch controls suffice for many, they remain a barrier for others. The introduction of controller support in Trials of Mana may be just the incentive needed to draw more players into its beautifully crafted world.
Self-controlWith this update, Trials of Mana, available in both its original and plus versions, becomes more accessible to those who have been hesitant due to control issues. While Android users are yet to see this update, its vibrant visuals and engaging gameplay could now attract a broader audience eager to dive in.
