Unacceptable for a paid app. ### 4/5 — Relaxing, but… *2025-02-25* Controller support needed! ### 5/5 — 좋은데.... *2025-01-29* 하고싶지않음. 아케이드판처럼 게임패드 지원해주세요. ### 2/5 — Fun, but… *2025-01-21, version 1.0.3* I was having fun but then I lost my progress. The save slot available took me back to the beginning. Not sure what happened. ### 5/5 — 게임패드 지원해주세요 *2025-01-19* 애플아케이드도 되는데 돈주고 구입한거는 당연히 해줘야 하는거아닌가요? ### 5/5 — 게임패드 지원만 되면 완벽 *2025-01-10* 애플 아케이드 버전은 게임패드 지원되는데, 이것도 업데이트 요청드려요. ### 3/5 — Please add controller support *2024-12-07, version 1.0.3* This is a great port. Please add full controller support ### 2/5 — ゲームパッド *2024-11-29* 良いゲームだけに操作性とオートカメラの動きの悪さが気になります。 バーチャルパッドでノーフューチャーがクリアできる気がしません。 是非ゲームパッドの対応を希望します。 ### 5/5 — 요즘 시대에 게임패드 지원이 안되네요… *2024-11-19* 이게 뭔… ### 5/5 — Top spiel ABER *2024-11-17* Ich liebe die mana Reihe ABER warum immer noch kein Controller Support ? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stop asking for Controller Support *2025-02-18* Because you can find one with Controller Support on Apple Arcade only. It is your fault if you believe you have owned this game just because you paid. It is still them who own this game. How dare you to expect developers care about your right? Right????? Don’t buy anything from Square Enix. Pirate them and spread them for free. ### 1/5 — Where is controller support *2025-02-09, version 1.0.3* Apple Arcade version gets controller support but this one does not. Smh. ### 1/5 — Support manette *2025-01-25* Adaptation géniale, un plaisir de pouvoir emporter cette aventure n’importe où. Cependant il manque le support de la manette qui est pourtant présent dans la version Apple Arcade… Je mettrai un avis à 5 si le support de la manette apparaît lors d’une maj. ### 1/5 — Scammers united *2025-01-24, version 1.0.3* Releases a + version, doesn’t update the 35$ premium one to support controllers - it’s been 3 years SE - you should be ashamed 💀 trash company ### 1/5 — Controller support *2025-01-14, version 1.0.3* Tried this out on Apple Arcade just to buy the paid version to find out there’s no controller support… you’ve already implemented it in the Apple Arcade version. ADD CONTROLLER SUPPORT! ### 1/5 — Wow Apple Arcade gets controller support *2025-01-12, version 1.0.3* So disappointed. Apple get rid of your horrible arcade idea and fire the person who was in charge. ### 1/5 — Honteux support manette seulement sur Apple Arcade! *2025-01-10* Le 10 janvier 2025, le jeu vient de sortir en version Apple Arcade avec le support manette. Qu’en est-il de cette version que nous avons tous payé au prix fort ? ### 1/5 — No gamepad support *2024-12-23, version 1.0.3* How does this have no gamepad support in 2024? ### 1/5 — Controller support *2024-07-18, version 1.0.3* Please add controller support ### 1/5 — 컨트롤어 *2024-04-28* 컨트롤러 업데이트좀해주세요 터치 정확도도 안좋고 컨트롤러쓸라니깐 인식을 못하네요 컨트롤러 업데이트랑 로딩속도 개선 좀 해주세요 님아 스위치도 이렇게 안느려요 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Its a beutyfull game *2026-05-18* Need badly the 60fps ### 5/5 — Great game, give it a chance! *2025-07-28* I bought this game a couple years ago just to have an action JRPG to play on the go. I’ve been a fan of the Mana series since I was a teenager. Enjoyed it on my first play through with touch controls and thought it was OK. Playing it again using a game pad (Backbone One), and loving it. SE adding controller support made this even better. ### 5/5 — スマホコントローラーに対応した *2025-06-29* 2年ほど前にダウンロードして操作性が悪かったので放置してました。やっとコントローラーに対応したのでやり始めました。 ### 5/5 — Underrated game *2025-04-26, version 1.0.4* I love this game ### 5/5 — Merci square enix *2025-04-20* La meilleure adaptation d’un jeu sur mobile, l’optimisation est parfaite sur mobile, je découvre le jeu à travers ce remake et je l’ai adoré, j’espère avoir la chance de découvrir d’autres adaptations de vos jeux sur mobile. Je vous remercie infiniment de votre travail et de pouvoir permettre au gens qui n’ont pas de consoles de découvrir vos jeux. ### 5/5 — Controller support! 😃 *2025-04-06, version 1.0.4* Finally! The touch screen controls were good, very responsive and, to be honest, i was 99% complete when this update came out and now…. It’s just a totally different game. Precision jumps, accurate combos, easy evasion. You just can’t beat a physical controller. If you haven’t downloaded this already, now is the time. I only wish this update had come earlier 😎 ### 5/5 — Piece of art on a mobile phone *2025-03-06* Enjoyable from beginning to the end. The remade music, the graphics and the gameplay. Worth every cent. I wished you would consider to do a similar remake with Illusion of Gaia for desktop and mobile. It would be mind blowing amazing. Maybe with some little tuning to make it less linear. ### 5/5 — Finally controller support. Buy it if you don’t have Apple Arcade. *2025-03-06* Just throw money at the screen. ### 5/5 — An Excellent Game *2025-03-05* "An Excellent Game." That's a bold statement, and one that immediately sets expectations sky-high. Thankfully, Trials of Mana largely delivers on that promise, offering a compelling experience that's both engaging and memorable. Looking forward for Square Enix to bring more of such titles to mobile devices. ### 5/5 — Scam *2025-02-25, version 1.0.3* Can’t use my controller --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
