Miles Edgeworth's dramatic turnabouts take center stage! Experience both Ace Attorney Investigations games in one gorgeous collection! Investigate crime scenes and solve tough, intriguing cases through logic and deduction. When Edgeworth's past and present collide, his future begins!
The collection puts players in the shoes of prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, departing from the courtroom-focused gameplay of the mainline Ace Attorney series. Players must actively explore crime scenes, interact with witnesses and suspects, and collect a variety of evidence to uncover the truth behind complex cases. This shift from the courtroom to the investigation phase offers a fresh take on the franchise, challenging players to think critically and piece together the clues.
A key gameplay mechanic is the "Mind Chess" feature, which allows players to engage in a tense back-and-forth with witnesses. Using logic and deduction, players must expose the contradictions and lies within the witnesses' testimonies. This system encourages strategic thinking, as players analyze the statements and choose the right evidence to refute the claims.
In addition to traditional evidence collection, the games introduce new ways for players to gather information. Players can actively examine crime scenes in detail, uncover hidden clues, and even engage in interrogations. This multifaceted approach to evidence gathering adds depth and complexity to the investigative experience.
The collection features several quality of life improvements to enhance the player experience. The convenient Chapter Select feature allows players to easily revisit and replay their favorite parts of the games. Additionally, the collection offers Autoplay and Story Mode options, catering to players who prefer a more passive storytelling experience or simply want to enjoy the narrative without the challenge of the puzzles.
Fans have expressed their joy at finally having the previously Japan-exclusive Prosecutor's Gambit available in the West, and the collection's visual and audio enhancements have been widely appreciated. The engrossing storytelling, engaging investigative gameplay, and the return of the beloved prosecutor, Miles Edgeworth, have all contributed to the collection's popularity among both newcomers and longtime fans.
