![]() ![]() Quite possibly one of the best examples of this is the head monk Pees’lubn Andistan’dhin, whose seemingly innocent hippy demeanour is shattered considerably once you realise his true intentions. This time around, the cast is just as vibrant, with the English translation team providing high quality pun-filled names that will make you both laugh and cringe at the same time. In the past, they have ranged from reclusive TV stars who have been wrongly accused, to single minded prosecutors determined to get their verdict, and even deranged ex-girlfriends who return from the dead for revenge. One of the strongest elements of the Ace Attorney games has always been their weird and wonderful casts. This is especially true at the end of the first case, where you have to locate where a particular person would have to be standing for your story to be considered plausible. ![]() When you are not forced to rely on their special talents, the puzzles related to finding evidence to support your client’s defense are much harder than the previous instalment, which had been criticised for holding your hand on several occasions. All three methods work well to find obtain vital information in a testimony, but Apollo’s ability requires pin point precision in order to proceed, which can sometimes lead to an incorrect accusation at the worst possible time. Phoenix is able to break through Psyche Locks with his Magatama pendant, Apollo is able to use his bracelet to see through a witness’s poker face and Athena uses analytical psychology to determine out of place emotions with her robotic partner Widget. Each of the defense lawyers unique talents return for the cases, which is always welcome within the compelling but sometimes long winded dialogue between the characters in and out of court. These strikes are not restored by correctly progressing through each case, so you will need to either save often, or examine every piece of evidence with a fine tooth comb. The return of a fixed penalty system works well within the context of the Khura’in law system, especially when the prosecution claim to be able to tell the secrets of the recently departed. ![]() The five strike system from the original game has returned, instead of the health bar system that was present from the second game onwards. ![]() Many fans complained that the difficulty of the puzzles and cross examination within Dual Destinies was slightly too easy, but the same cannot be said of Ace Attorney: Spirits of Justice. The aim of each chapter is to defend your client using the evidence available and find the true culprit of each crime by cross examining the witnesses that the prosecution presents to the court. Like each of the previous Ace Attorney games, each chapter, known as a Turnabout is separated into trial and investigation segments. Meanwhile, Apollo Justice is also defending clients back at the Wright Anything Agency established by Phoenix, along with Dual Destinies protagonist Athena Cykes, and his half-sister Trucy Wright.Īce Attorney: Spirits of Justice is divided into five separate chapters, with each set of main characters receiving two cases in the spotlight, and they are all brought together for the final adventure. Unable to see his new friend suffer, Phoenix takes to defend him in court, unaware of the prejudice that exists in the country towards defense attorneys, and the penalties that exist to those who dare to defend their guilty clients. During his visit, his tour guide is accused of murder and his guilt is seemingly proven by a séance performed by the Royal Priestess. The story begins with Phoenix Wright travelling to the kingdom of Khura’in to visit his long time friend Maya Fey, a spirit medium in training. This time around, our spiky haired lawyer is faced with a danger that is far stronger than the “Dark Age of the Law”, a phenomenon which he helped to vanquish in the previous game. After a brief rest following 2013’s Dual Destinies, Phoenix Wright has returned to the bar once again in Ace Attorney: Spirits of Justice. It spawned several sequels and spin offs, including an investigation game starring prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, and a crossover adventure game that ties together with gaming’s first puzzle solving gentleman Professor Layton. The Ace Attorney series has gone from strength to strength since it originally arrived on English shores back in 2005 for the Nintendo DS. ![]()
