Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy Reviews
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy is what many fans have been waiting for since the remastering of the previous trilogy was launched in 2019 and the opportunity for non-Nintendo platform users to enjoy the other three titles in the saga that the game offered us. great developer Shu Takumi. The downside is that, unlike the remastering of Ghost Trick: Ghost Detective, another of its wonders that did arrive in Spanish, this time we have to settle for Shakespeare's language again, since Spanish has become to be left out of the equation. A real shame, since although Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice came out in English at the time for Nintendo Switch, Apollo Justice did enjoy a wonderful translation like the other three Nintendo DS titles. I also can't help but not mention the wonderful crossover of Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, which would have been a magnificent finishing touch as an extra in this edition as a spin off. Despite everything, they are three very good games that are worth playing, and that, despite being in English, fortunately it is not particularly difficult English and quite accessible to any intermediate level speaker of the language. The HD facelift is quite noticeable in the first title, while in the other two it is not appreciated too much.

The Apollo Justice Trilogy is an extension of the critically acclaimed Ace Attorney series that brings new life to the courtroom drama genre. It combines humor, nostalgia, and innovative gameplay mechanics to maintain the essence of the series. The engaging storytelling and dynamic courtroom battles remain intact, while new gameplay elements like Apollo's lie detection and Athena's emotion-reading abilities are introduced to enhance both the gameplay and narrative.
All in all, the three visual novel games included in the Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy, though not without their flaws, are excellent in their own ways and provide hours of engaging content.
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy will make longtime fans itch for a new entry; frankly, it’s about time we see a new game.
The Apollo Justice Trilogy is perfect for those who’ve never played the game but enjoy lighthearted puzzle games.
Alongside the games themselves, the assortment of bonuses including music, concept art and cinematics enhance the experience by allowing players to completely immerse themselves not only in the game world but also in the development and impact of the titles, making it a definitive title for veterans of the franchise and even newer players starting their Ace Attorney journey for the first time.
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney trilogy is a fantastic collection that bundles together 3 very good titles in one package.
There is no objection needed here, as Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy is just what we wanted to see with the re-release of these three classic games in the series. You may not have the convenience of the second screen from the originals, but pretty much everything else is better here than in the past. The visual upgrades for all three are impressive and are very much in line with other modern games and releases, while the gameplay for the trio still holds up very well today. While the Ace Attorney series is definitely not for everyone as a visual novel game, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy is yet another winning re-release for this franchise that will have fans itching even more for a new entry in the franchise to be announced.
If you are a fan of excellent writing and don’t mind having to read more than your usual share of text in a game, as there is a whole bunch of it in these games, you’ll find them to be extremely clever and bursting with personality. It’s a shame that the series is on hold, but hopefully with the success in sales of this and other similar collections, maybe Capcom will finally bring gaming’s top lawyer back to where he belongs, and not just as a criminally underused character in one of their Vs fighters. Yes, I’m looking at you, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3!
These are some of the best adventure games released in the past 20 years and made even better thanks to the new features included in this lovingly crafted package.
I still have issues with Dual Destinies’ handling of returning characters, but in my old age, I find myself caring less and less. These games look good, they play good, and having all three together in HD with all the amenities, it’s perfect.
Barring a middling ‘middle’ entry, The Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy brings a set of great games from a series I love to the big screen. There’s no beating the bush around this one: this collection does Apollo Justice.
While the games themselves may vary in quality, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy still presents a pretty solid case for purchase.
Those games, just like other Ace Attorney titles, are more than simply excellent visual novels. They are absolutely ridiculous stories, almost always engaging, and often times thought-provoking. They are still the best examples of what the genre can achieve, and how easily accessible and entertaining they can be, even for people who aren’t exactly into static, story-based games with little in terms of interactivity.
The Apollo Justice trilogy comprises of three excellent ports, but the compilation highlights existing issues with the games in a way that make it difficult to forget about.
Apollo Justice, Phoenic Wright and Athena Cykes invite you to a dramatic courtroom trilogy like no other. Accept or not?
