After finishing the game, I recommend it heartily to any fan of the ace attorney games or VN's/murder mysteries in general, so long as you can handle the english translation being mediocre at best. The game is lengthy, taking me around 44 hours to finish while reading at decent speed, where the quality of case 2-4 and especially 5 are relatively high. The music is also great depending on the track and you actually have some agency over the ending, which is extremely rare in ace attornet. Unfortunantely, as said before, the translation is functional overall but dialogue was very clearly mostly translated literally by what I assume is AI or auto-translate in general. Pros: + In general, good to great music. + Visuals overall are good, though some charactert have much better assets than others. + The trial quality of case 2 and 3 is good, the one for case 4 and 5 is great. + Very lengthy, good amount of content for the price (+- 44 hours to finish). + Voice acting (in Chinese) for dramatic moments, certain cutscenes and direct confrontations in court battles. + Your final choice is memorable and makes you think about justice and law. Cons: - The English translation is mediocre, contains outright errors at times and can at times lead to gameplay issues. Sometimes the translation gets in the way of knowing what to do to solve a case. Reading things like 'introduck' instead of 'introduce' breaks immersion quickly especially when it happens often. - Case 1 is very weak and has by far the worst writing in the entire game. It gives a poor impression of the rest. - The logic in court cases is weaker than in ace attorney. - There is no in-game help system if you get stuck. Overall rating: 7.25/10. If frequent translation errors do not bother you as much, an 8.0/10 is defensible.
If you like Phoenix Wright games, this is similar to that in presentation and style but different in storytelling style and I really loved it. My only real issues with this game are minor fixable translation issues and visual text errors resulting in spelling errors, some tenses being wrong, and one character having his name stuck in Chinese characters in Chapter 5. There's also one instance of the wrong character's name being used at the top of the box in Chapter 3 in the detention center, and the wrong name of Jake Marshall (not a character in the game, likely a placeholder left in) used in Chapter 5. Additionally, in a confrontation in Chapter 2, the word error has code in it by mistake. A few times lines repeat twice. In confrontations where the text flies into place sometimes causes overlapping as well. These are ultimately all relatively minor visual text issues though in placement or spelling, I think the script just needs reviewed a bit more to fix most of these and while I won't deny these issues exist, the translation in English is still perfectly legible and sensical. There's no parts that are like garbled nonsense, it's really just minor issues. So do not let the translation quality hold you back from getting it, it's still a very well written game over all, enjoyable and worth playing. The music is great, the characters are great, I like the art style a lot and I like that this game has a similar gameplay style of Phoenix Wright, but its own unique storytelling style and art flair that makes it distinct as a peer in a very niche genre.
Trials of Innocence is a sincere love letter to the Ace Attorney series -- molding its own, more grounded identity and rivals some of the best Ace Attorney games ever. Oozing charming and touching character/plot writing, character design and art direction that's full of life, and enchantingly purposeful music: it's apparent that this game has so much love and passion put into it by the talented developer team. The elephant-in-the-room for this game is the localization, as many other English reviews have already noted. Multiple times, it's increasingly evident the translations were not the main priority for the team. Confrontations are actively hindered by this especially; most of the time I’m shooting from the hip refuting weird logic that I *think* may have a loophole (spoilers: it didn't). Most other lines with iffy translations just made me scratch my head though. I was able to understand what they meant just fine with 95% of the lines making sense. With that said, please do not let localization issues dissuade you from giving Trials of Innocence a try. Under the blanket of some mishandled English text: is one of the best writing, characters, and music that this genre has to offer. 9/10: highly recommended
A almost carbon copy of Ace Attorney at first, with very similar character dynamics and structure. While the start isn't that engaging, just stick with it because the end half are really good, with some plot developments I really didn't see coming (but are actually quite cleverly hinted at throughout the game). I usually hate the "it get's better, just stick with it" argument, because it's a bit insulting to your time as a player. It's why I had so many issues with the pacing in The Great Ace Attorney Chonicles and still to this day think it's almost twice as long as it should have been. But thankfully this is not as overwritten as the later AA games, the cases still move at a fairly quick pace, much more similar to the first AA. The graphics looks good and there are a lot of great characters but there is one thing that drag this game down and depending on your tolerance, it might even be a question of if you should take this as a recommendation or not. The translation is borderline abysmal. I have no idea if the devs just used Google translate (they don't appear to have any English speakers on staff) or if the people they hired did and hoped nobody would care or notice. A little jank translation are quite common in indie visual novels, especially the ones from Asia and it's not that much of an issue most of the time. But this time it's rough to say the least. Making some of the deductions feel very convoluted, probably more so than they where intended to be. It's not all bad, but often enough that you get pulled out of the story when you have to think what was actually meant to be said. There are also line breaks in the middle of words and random symbols added here and there in the middle of a word, but that's a minor gripe. If you like AA style games and can deal with a extremely rough translation (or find a fan translation) this is a clear recommendation. For anyone else there are better games in this style.
I tried with this game, and I could tell the devs also tried and came up with lots of interesting mechanics. But oh my bob does their localization stink. I don’t even know if they localized it, so much of this game reads like straight translating word for word. Murders on the Yangtze had some issues like this but it was quirky because it was relatively infrequent, didn’t interfere with understanding the plot, and you could intuit what the translation should’ve been or why it sounds strange. This is a problem in Trials of Innocence for almost the entire game and it’s not cute at all. So many times I’m just moving past weird things that people have said. I was unable to finish this game, and that says a lot. I will play and enjoy the trashiest attorney game and I couldn’t with this one. I held out some hope they’d start chipping away at this with patches but apparently they’re broke and this game was 30,000 units away from their BREAK EVEN point. So no localization improvements appear to be forthcoming. If bad localization isn’t a deal breaker for you, the gameplay is great and I can definitely recommend this, so on that basis and because I feel bad for these broke devs, thumbs up.
