Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy is a compliation of three adventure games from a popular lawyer-themed series. It includes Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice. Each game features enhanced visuals and new functionality.

The compilation was developed and published by Capcom, on the PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

Plot

Each game consists of several different court cases, during which we play as an attorney, defending our client and proving their innocence. The playable characters are Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice and Athena Cykes, all of whom have unique abilities which affect the course of the case.

Mechanics

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy is a compilation of games combining visual novels and point & click games. The gameplay is divided into two layers: investigation and trial.

During the former, we talk to our client, question witnesses and investigate relevant areas in search of evidence and clues. In court we must listen to the witnesses' testimonies, point out contradictions, raise objections and call them out on lies by presenting evidence.

The subject matter is usually serious, but all three games share a wacky sense of humour.

Enhancements and bonus content

Aside from improved, HD visuals, the games also received some accessibility updates and bonus content. The player can start any episode or scene directly from the main menu. For those who'd like to experience the plot without gameplay, there's also the autoplay option.

The bonus content includes the original soundtracks of all three games (as well as additional tracks from the 2015 and 2019 anniversary symphony concerts), lots of concept art and a greenscreen studio, where we can create our own scenes using in-game characters, locations and music tracks.
