Ace Attorney Investigations Collection

Gameplay

In Ace Attorney Investigations Collection we watch the action from the side, from a camera positioned high above. We are dealing with pure point-and-click adventures, so the pillar of the gameplay is searching crime scenes for clues and evidence, as well as solving puzzles.

We also push the action forward by conducting conversations with NPCs, including witnesses of the investigated crimes and those suspected of committing them. The Mind Chess function deserves a special mention, which allows us to engage in unique mental battles with people we talk to. Successful conversations lead to extracting additional information from them.

When preparing this compilation, the authors did not fail to introduce additional functions. History feature allows us to return to previous dialogues, as well as to already completed chapters or scenes. In addition to this, an automatic gameplay is available, in which dialogues take place without our participation. There's also a story mode, where the protagonist independently solves subsequent puzzles, and we only observe his actions. The list of novelties is topped by a gallery containing various illustrations, animations, as well as a soundtrack from both games.

Graphics

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection stands out from the original thanks to its refreshed, hand-drawn graphics. The authors focused not only on the location designs, but also on the character sprites. We can also switch back to the original, pixel art appearance of both games.
