Awesome
Excited for Last Spector, Miracle Mask, Azran Legacy, and hopefully the soundtracks for all the games too :)Gottacatchemall!
A fantastic game for anyone who enjoys puzzles or story
I have been a long standing fan of the series since around the time of Diabolical Box. This is one of, if not my favorite game series ever, and I can’t say enough good about it.
While it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, the well written and emotional story made me cry the first time I finished it. I hope other people give it a try. I didn’t think I would enjoy it much, let alone love it to the extent I do.
It’s a unique and fun IP that I’m so happy Level 5 is continuing to make games for. Here’s to the next one!Show lessWayne McDill
Thank you!!
Thank you so much for porting these games to mobile! They are seriously down of my favorite games of all time and they were a huge part of my childhood. Will you be eventually porting the prequel trilogy as well? I really hope you do!!Lsahjspjsohauvibojd
A great experience
I just finished this game and it was amazing! Playing this trilogy on my old DSI is a key childhood memory of mine, so when I learned that all three games were available in mobile versions, I immediately bought them. I was not disappointed. This is an incredibly crafted adventure, and I hope to see more like it in the future.Show lesskatieshaye2233
Puzzle heaven!
The storyline and puzzles are so well done. I love the stories! So well done!
I took 1 star away for Flora. Sorry. I rolled my eyes on all her lines. Could she be more silly? She probably could but I wish her character was given more depth. Sorry to take a star from you for it but I had to speak up.Show lessAndrea666
SO DISSAPOINTING
As a huge fan of Layton 1 and 2, I was extremely excited to play Layton 3 and bought it on day 1. This game is not nearly as good as the previous two. Layton is a puzzle game. This game game chooses to forego that and instead lean HEAVILY on being a “visual novel”. There is about 3x the amount of text in this game as previous games. Random bystanders that you click to try to trigger a puzzle can blather on with flavor text for several screens before introducing a puzzle or yielding nothing. Much of this is an Attempt to give context to the puzzles, but the context is unneeded. The end result is thinking, “I want to do a few puzzles while I have time” and realizing that your entire play session may just be clicking through dialog with no puzzles in sight.
As for the puzzles, they are shockingly bad sometimes. many puzzles rely not on logic, but merely guesswork and assumptions. This is new for the series. There are also many puzzles that leave too many open ends to the phrasing. This is poison to a logic game.
This game is still worth playing but set your expectations. It’s not as good as the first two, especially the second.Show lessJazGalaxy
This is such a blast from the past
I just got this on my iPad and man is it great seeing the game in HD instead of the tiny pixilated DS screen. It’s been over a decade since I played this + I haven’t played any of the IOS rerelease before this so it feels very new! Thank you so much for completing the trilogy of my favorite childhood game!
( Still think you sould port these 3 games to the switch, I’m sure it would be a similar experience to a iPad mini)Show lessWolfffff broooooooooo!
Portrait mode? Also crashes on iPad and iPhone during data transfer.
I have a 12 1/2 inch iPad Pro. It’s large and heavy. Why do developers continue to create iPad games in portrait mode in 2020? It looks like a great game and I will update my review if it turns out to be workable, but that is my first impression.
OK, one hour later and I promised I would update my review. This is obviously an iPhone game, not an iPad game. Despite the $14 price tag.
I spent 30 minutes trying to transfer the data to my iPhone. It’s not based on iCloud or Facebook, but a login for the developer on their website. Once that was cleared, I went to the iPhone to download the same game data.
Turns out I had to go back and link the devices. Did that. Tried again. Turns out I had to go back to the iPad and upload the game data. Tried that twice, crashed both times mid-upload. Tried a third time, got it done. Went to the iPhone, tried to download the saved data, it crashed. Tried again and it worked. Now I’m over it and I’m going to delete it.Show lessjplonghorn
Already 100% completed it
It came out 5 days ago and I finished it yesterday after grinding it for 18 hours. Unwound Future already held the spot of one of my favorite games of all time, and I basically sinked time into nothing but this for the past week. The atmosphere of this game is truly incomparable and you won’t find it anywhere else. The plot is deeply impactful, and to my knowledge there are no loose ends. Every story beat, every interaction, it has a purpose, and you become ingrained in the wonderful world they present you. The puzzles all vary in difficulty, and because not all are necessary to complete the game, anyone who finds them difficult is able to simply move on to those that work for them. The art and style are unique as well, and all the landscapes and puzzles have unique painting-esque portraits to match. the player is able to play the game as they wish, and it all works perfectly. I could never give this game anything other than five stars. It’s marvelous in every way.
And to Level-5, if you’re reading this, there’s nothing I want more than to see my favorite game franchise make its way to mobile in its entirety. Keep up the good work out there.Show lessvarootski
Essentially flawless
Loved being able to play the first two, having never owned their previous iterations. As a consequence however, I’ve grown to enjoy the previous title’s puzzle music more and would absolutely love the option to switch between bgms while solving a puzzle. Other than that, absolutely great work, worth every cent.Show lessBcampo20
