Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
26 of 251 sampled reviews raised it
It does so much with so little -- it nails every single high point in a series I love while cutting all the cruft, while telling a new, engaging story entirely its own, while acting as an incredibly accessible and fun philosophy crash course.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
25 of 251 sampled reviews raised it
I appreciate the effort to build a game around philosophical debate, and I generally enjoy the mechanics, but there’s not enough content to make it truly satisfying (I’ll have to check out Ace Attorney at some point).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
9 of 251 sampled reviews raised it
Aesthetics The visuals are simple, hand-drawn, and in line with early-2010s Flash aesthetics.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 251 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is pretty decent, energetic with light “battle” themes accompanying debates, though these could become repetitive in longer sessions.
