The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles takes place as the 20th-century dawns and follows Phoenix Wright’s ancestor, criminal defense student Ryunoske Naruhodo. Like Wright, Naruhodo doesn’t act alone.
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles features a wacky cast of characters, including bumbling detective Herlock Sholmes who’s responsible for more than a few logical dilemmas Naruhodo must work his way out of.
While the series’ core investigation and deduction elements remain largely the same in The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, there are a few key differences. Summation Examination has you rebut jurors’ logic to persuade them of your client’s innocence, for example. There’s also a Story Mode feature that removes the deduction portions so the game plays like a visual novel.
Finally, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles includes the eight additional Escapade episodes, along with new costumes and an image-and-movie gallery.
