The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles Steam CD Key
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is a collection developed by Capcom containing refreshed versions of legal adventures The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures from 2015 and The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve from 2018). Both games were originally released on the Nintendo 3DS console and never left Japan. Thus, this set is the debut of these productions in the English version.
Story-wise, the project is a prequel. The protagonist is Ryunosuke Naruhodo, a young Japanese living in the nineteenth century, who was the ancestor of Phoenix Wright. In total, the collection offers ten big cases to solve, taking place both in the Land of the Rising Sun and in Great Britain.
The action begins when Ryunosuke is accused of murdering a professor at the university where he is studying English. The protagonist's defender is his friend Asogi Kazuma, who is just graduating from law studies. If the player manages to discover the real perpetrator and lead to the acquittal of the protagonist, Kazuma and Naruhodo will go to Great Britain, where the first of them wants to learn the secrets of Western justice. Unfortunately, dramatic events will take place during the voyage that will ultimately put Ryunosuke on the path of a legal career.
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles was built on the mechanisms of the previous installments of the brand. Each case is divided into two phases. The first is the investigation during which we search locations, collect evidence and clues, and question witnesses.
When we finish the preparations, it is time for the trial, during which we have to present our own theory and support it with arguments and evidence. Detecting inaccuracies in the testimonies of witnesses called by the prosecutor also plays a key role.
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles offers several novelties that significantly affect the gameplay. This time, apart from the judge, a jury of six is also taking part in the hearings. Its members decide for themselves when to order a vote which determines the guilt or innocence of the accused. If, however, the verdict is not as we would like, we get a chance to talk to every member of the jury. If we manage to convince four of the six, the decision is withdrawn and the process resumed.
In the course of investigations, the protagonist is often assisted by a detective named Herlock Sholmes (who is known to whom this character parodies). It is related to the second big novelty in the form of the so-called Joint Reasoning. In such sections, Sholmes begins to present his own theories and ideas, and the player's task is to find inaccuracies and errors in them, so that the detective is able to finally come to the right conclusions and thus provide us with additional information useful during the trial.
