Gyakuten Saiban

Game Details:

"Gyakuten Saiban" was originally released on the GBA platform in 2001 and was later ported to multiple platforms such as NDS, mobile phones, and Switch due to its excellent reputation. Players play as the rookie lawyer who has just entered the courtroom - Phoenix Wright - and prove the client's innocence by investigating crime scenes, questioning witnesses, and using logical judgment.

The main process of the game is divided into two stages: "Investigation" and "Court". In the investigation stage, players need to go to different scenes to collect evidence and talk to characters to obtain information; in the court stage, by viewing the contradictions in the testimony, raising "objections", and using the collected evidence to break through the opponent's arguments step by step, find the real culprit.

The plot of the game is tight and full of reversals, and the characters are distinct and the dialogue is humorous, forming a unique rhythm of "relaxation and tension coexist". "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney" also opened the road to success for many subsequent sequels and spin-offs, becoming one of CAPCOM's most representative text adventure game series.

Editor's Recommendation:

As the pioneer of court reasoning games, "Gyakuten Saiban" is not only innovative in gameplay, but also reaches a very high level in plot performance and character shaping. Characters such as Phoenix Wright, Miles Edgeworth, and Maya Fey are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, making players remember them deeply.

The biggest highlight of the game is "court reversal" - at the moment when the defeat is imminent, seize the small loopholes in the opponent's testimony, raise objections, and reverse the situation in one fell swoop. This "desperate comeback" experience is very fulfilling. Each case is like a mini-detective novel, not only requires brainstorming to solve puzzles, but also can enjoy the ups and downs of the plot.

Recommended for players who like detective themes such as "Detective Conan" and "Kindaichi Case Files", "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney" will bring an unprecedented immersive court adventure experience.

Game Guide:

Case 1: The First Court Battle

• Key Evidence: Automatic Camera Photo, Victim's Time Record
• Key Skills: Pay attention to timeline conflicts and learn how to raise "objections" for the first time. The witness contradicts himself multiple times, find the logical inconsistencies between his testimony and the evidence.

Case 2: Turnabout Sisters

• Key Characters: Mia Fey (Victim), Maya Fey (Suspect)
• Key Evidence: Call Records, Relics, Voice Recorder
• Court Focus: Use the logical breakdown of the witness's lies based on the testimony before and after the time of the incident. Pay special attention to the time difference between the "time of death of the deceased" and the "time the phone call was made".

Case 3: Turnabout Samurai

• Key Scenes: On-site Map, Character Action Timeline
• Key Skills: Some testimonies have "omitted details", and it is necessary to induce witnesses to elaborate and find new testimonial loopholes from them.

Overall Advice:

• When you can't raise an objection, save the game first and try out possible evidence one by one
• Talking to characters repeatedly will help trigger new clues or supplement testimonies
• When investigating scenes, don't miss corners and items, many key evidences are hidden in inconspicuous places
