### 5/5 — 역전검사2도 얼른 출시해주세요 앱스토어에

*2026-06-27*

기다리는 중입니다 역전검사2도 얼른 출시해주세요 이곳 앱스토어에

### 2/5 — French Version

*2026-01-27*

Why is the game in french on the console and not on mobile? We want a french version on IOS!!!

### 1/5 — Only a part of the game

*2026-01-18, version 1.00.03*

Nothing in the description of this app or its title tells the truth. This is ONLY ONE EPISODE of the game that it’s titled after. To unlock additional episodes, it’s an additional 5 dollars per episode. Absolutely not transparent about what’s included.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2025-10-07*

What an amazing game. Most certainly a worthy alternative to the Phoenix Wright collection. I just wish that the second set of Ace Attorney Investigations episodes were available to purchase on the App Store.

### 1/5 — You should mention in the description that you have to pay $15 to get episodes 2-5.

*2025-08-22, version 1.00.03*

I’m sure the game is great, but it’s misleading to have us pay for a game that’s incomplete. You should just sell the app for 15 dollars upfront with all episodes unlocked.

### 4/5 — 4 stars because cannot play offline

*2025-07-06*

4 stars because cannot play offline

The game is fun and enjoyable.

### 1/5 — Pas de version française

*2024-10-29*

Bonjour aux développeurs et éditeurs, pourriez-vous proposer une version francophone de cette magnifique suite d’Ace Attorney Investigations s’il-vous-plaît ?
Cordialement

Hello developers and publishers, could you please offer a French version of this magnificent suite of Ace Attorney Investigations?
Best’s Regards

### 5/5 — GREAT GAME, NOW GIVE US THE SECOND

*2024-08-06*

IM TOO BROKE TO HAVE ANYTHING ELSE </33might have to return to my pirate roots .... 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ anyways fan translation is viable too, ill miss u forever sebastion debeste prosecutor ..

### 5/5 — My review

*2024-07-15*

The game i personally liked even tho a lit of people told me otherwise. Good port imo atleast for its time, i would like yall to update the menu visuals just a bit like how spirit of justice is on mobile. Though i get it is old. If you are new to ace attorney do not play this first, play the original trilogy first.

### 2/5 — Great game, however..

*2024-04-10*

Initially, the game is a pound for the first case. Then you have to pay £15+ for the other cases! Was not made clear in description, may as well just buy a hard copy of the game and play it on DS.
