Attorney of the Arcane 12+

Although having been greatly inspired by the Ace Attorney franchise I can proudly say after completing everything the game has to offer that It is well enough to differentiate itself from ace attorney. The story and music was phenomenal and the characters were well written and was genuinely intrigued by magic system in the world and how smoothly it is incorporated into the cases despite looking overwhelming at first glance.

I would definitely recommend trying this game out if you are a fan of the Ace Attorney franchise and looking to scratch an itch. Definitely looking forward to more as to what the developers has in store for their next game.

I’ve been playing the first case for a little over 20 minutes and I can really appreciate the love and detail that went into this as a fan of the original Phoenix Wright games by Capcom. The art is gorgeous and the writing is exceptional. The reason I gave it one star is because it was a little TOO much like PW, (ruby is Mia, Celeste I’m assuming is the Maya of the game, and the judge character looks an awful lot like the judge in PW). Although the art is beautiful, I feel like the creator could have made his sprites/art a little more unique in terms of their poses (Tyrion does the slam at the desk just like Phoenix, for example). Another reason for the star off was the writing, though good, doesn’t have quite the same draw as PW. It’s definitely way more serious in tone. If you’re into a more serious PW type game, this is for you. Personally I loved the crazy, wacky dialogue from the PW games and I was hoping as this was a homage to them, that type of dialogue would be here too. It’s still a solid effort and I can’t wait to see what else the creator comes up with!

Amazing game and feels like Ace Attorney but with an interesting twist of magic and steampunk. I actually like the characters more than the later Ace Attorney games. Keep it going!
