Decent game honestly.1 found this helpful
Golden Age style mystery, Ace Attourney inspired , investigation-led gameplay, fully voice acted, and deeply rooted in such a fascinating era of Chinese history.... I reallly enjoyed this game.
This game is simply incredible. although slightly hard to navigate to get a translation once its done this game is just perfect really, it rivals ace attorney in its gameplay overall just being more interactive and having more mini-games within the case so it never truly gets stale, and although the game would only really take about 20 hours which isn't really that long it still is able to keep me engaged and excited for each case. Overall the mystery and the adrenaline pumping moments of this game as well as the artsyle is simply perfect 10/10 I really recommend you to play it!
If you like Ace-Attorney-Style games you'll love this! This game has some of the best cases I've seen in the genre. It also has a lot of variation in mechanics and a couple of mini-games that fit the story well, and serve to keep the gameplay fresh. I also really liked the tie-ins into Chinese history, I feel like I've learned a lot. The bonus chapter not being localized is a huge bummer though. Nice-to-haves: + Completely playable mouse-only (Slightly more ergonomic with mouse+keyboard) Minor issues: - The English translation has some mild Chinese-isms. It's never an issue for solving the cases though, so I like to think it just adds to the charm of the game, lol. - A couple of lines of noticeable AI-voice acting towards the end - The ending poem (or whatever the vertical text is?) after the end of each chapter is not translated. Major Issues that need to be fixed: - One bonus scene after the end of the game is not yet localized :( - The demo save data did not carry over automatically when running on Proton. I had to copy the save data over manually. - The game started in Chinese for me - if I didn't already know where to find the language switcher from the demo this might h…
[b]If you like mystery VNs inspired by AA series or Danganronpa, try this game out![/b] I finished the main story and overall, the game is great! it's presented very well! Although, I have one teeny-tiny minor issue with the first few seconds of launching the game. When you open the game, it starts in full chinese. The game doesn't automatically detect the language you intend to use, so you have to go find the settings and change it by yourself with the help of a translator app (or by brute force lol). Aside from that, The game runs very well on MacOs, though I had to change the fps from no limit to 60 fps since i noticed that it feels less smooth at the first hour of playimg. I also would like to suggest on adding an option to rebind keys for flexibility, but I think that the default keys are okay enough to grasp. As for my final words: kudos to the devs, artists, voice actors and everyone else who have contributed to this game!
虽然逆转裁判的痕迹很严重,不过推理都属于中上水平,有点难但是又有无限命,总能过关,期待更多国产推理游戏!
