### 4/5 — Shouldn’t have to pay for full version

*2026-07-19*

I beat this game on Nintendo DS and when I saw they had it on the App Store I thought it could be fun to download and replay it, why do we have to buy the full version? This game isn’t even that long as it is, it shouldn’t have to cost money, plus I can just play it on a website for free, these kinds of things really just tick me off.  Other than that awesome game

### 3/5 — Great game, port could be better

*2025-11-14*

The game is great, but I don’t understand why they removed Game Center achievements (which the old mobile version of the game had) and don’t use automatic iCloud save data syncing. Also, why isn’t there a Mac version? At least let us run the iOS version on macOS.

### 4/5 — Would be 5-Star …

*2024-12-08*

Fifth star for controller support!

### 4/5 — Super fun game but $30?!

*2024-09-08*

The demo was fun but I wasn’t expecting the full version to cost that much. Not sure if I should do it or not.

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing

*2024-08-26*

I’ve heard lots of good things about the game, but it keeps crashing when I try to play. If anyone has an6 advice please tell me.

### 3/5 — 要注意

*2024-07-29, version 1.0*

こちらはHDリマスター版です
過去に販売されていたアプリとは別物です
旧アプリで3章以降を購入していたとしても、引き続きできないので改めて購入する必要があります
　
旧アプリは対応終了・ストアから消えてる(検索できないだけ？)ので、HD版がやりたい！っていう人でなければ購入履歴などから再ダウンロードすることもできるので、慎重に判断することをお勧めします
※逆転裁判HDと違って、こちらの旧アプリは今のところバグなく動作してます

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2024-07-18, version 1.0*

Don’t Know how you expect us to play if we can’t get in the game…

### 2/5 — iPhone X

*2024-07-16*

Alors oui c’est un vieux iPhone. Ok ok je vais le changer. 
Mais bon Ghost Trick devrait y fonctionner. Mais ce n’est plus le cas. 
Moche moche moche.

### 3/5 — Really good but 30€?????

*2024-07-11*

You must be out of your minds :)

### 2/5 — 購入履歴が復元できない

### 1/5 — fraud

*2026-07-03*

they delisted the older version that had a 15$ in app purchase for all chapters to replace it with this version that is twice the price with no way to carry over your old purchase. This is the scams that the SKG INITIATIVE ARE FIGHTING AGAINST!!!

### 1/5 — Stürzt ab

*2026-05-14*

Nicht spielbar, da (trotz angegebener Kompatibilität) das Spiel sofort nach Start abstürzt.

### 1/5 — 无法恢复购买状态

*2026-04-06*

之前买过但是现在无法恢复购买状态，一直显示通信中，不知道是不是因为是最新版iOS的原因，这个问题需要解决！游戏是好游戏

### 1/5 — Can’t restore purchase

*2026-01-25*

Bought all of the chapters years ago for $9.99. Got a new iPad and tried to play it again and they want $29.99 to play all of the chapters. Apple support can’t push the purchase through. And there is no acknowledgment when putting in a report to CAPCOM.

### 1/5 — Can’t even play it

*2026-01-13*

The game crashed every time I tried to play it I need a refund

### 1/5 — Won’t Restore Purchased Version

*2025-02-01*

I already purchased the full version several years ago, and now it is saying restoration failed, even though this is my same Apple account. i uninstalled the game several years sgo for storage during school… really disappointed given this is an amazing game.

### 1/5 — 起動できない

*2025-01-18, version 1.0*

対応iOSにもかかわらず、アプリが起動しません。デバイスの再起動もアプリの再起動も試したのですが…

### 1/5 — I bought this game years ago, why are my puchases not being restored??

*2024-12-27*

??

### 1/5 — Just give me what I paid for

*2024-11-04*

I bought the full version of this in 2012 and now you expect me to pay for it again at twice the price? Get real.

### 1/5 — Cloud Save Upload Not Working

*2024-11-03*

Uploading save data from my iPad keeps failing

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2025-12-18*

It’s a great game and story line. I paid for the full version years ago and will NOT let me restore my previous purchase. Any resolution for this issue would be appreciated.

### 5/5 — 너무 재미있는게임!!

*2025-07-12*

플스로 다깼는데 너무 재미있어서 또 하고싶은 게임입니다ㅠㅠㅠ

### 5/5 — Amazing, Unique, High Quality

*2025-05-04*

Literally the best game I have ever played on this app. Everything is chef’s kiss. This game is so underrated it is literally ridiculous.

### 5/5 — A real gem of a game

*2024-10-17*

such a great game with a great compelling story!

### 5/5 — An Underrated Gem.

*2024-08-27*

Trust me when I say that the less you know going into it, the better ‘Ghost Trick’ is; this is one game I really hope more people will get the chance to experience for themselves. 

Honestly, you should just stop right here and go try the demo if you haven’t already - but I’ll go on a little if anyone wants hear more. 

————————————

While there is emphasis on the unknown, even if the entire story had been spoiled for you, I would still recommend playing it because it really is a great experience. This is a vivid and immersive world that has much more to offer than just its twists, and it has been noted to have great replay value for the details it manages to hide in the most unexpected ways. 

This game brings together a memorable cast of characters with a surprisingly heartfelt story as you observe their lives from the perspective of one very confused ghost. With its engaging mystery, it feels highly rewarding to solve (and occasionally cause) problems for the individuals you meet along the way. The unique game mechanics are deeply interwoven into the plot, presenting puzzles that challenge you to think outside of the box and experiment with deceptively simple objects. Once that lightbulb moment hits you, the rest starts falling into place. 

I could tell you about how fond I am of the art, music and characters but at the end of the day, all of this is very subjective, so I once again recommend that you go try it out. This is a game that is very dear to my heart and I hope anyone who tries it has a great time playing! 

(P.S. Have I mentioned that you should go play Ghost Trick?)

### 5/5 — Amazing video game, criminally underrated

*2024-08-04*

Ghost Trick is a really great game that doesn’t get as much recognition as it should. It also ports really well to mobile because most of the controls used the DS touch screen. Really its only weakness is that it’s a bit on the short side, but it has some really creative puzzles, good characters, and the story is one of the best ones ever. This game knows how to do plot twists well. I definitely recommend it

### 5/5 — すごく好き

*2024-07-02, version 1.0*

すごく好きで、忘れた頃にまたインストールしてやってしまいます。

小説を読むように物語が進んでいきます。
加えて、絶妙なトリック。そして、オチ。

スマホでやるのにもちょうどいい。

こんなゲームを作ってくれてありがとう！
供給がずっと無くならないで欲しい。

### 5/5 — 补票

*2024-06-22, version 1.0*

之前用模拟器通过，这次高清复刻上了ios，必须补张票，武断一点说，这游戏是剧情解谜游戏的巅峰之作，能把剧情和解谜融合的这么好，前无古人，恐怕也后无来者了~~

### 5/5 — 神ゲー

*2024-06-16, version 1.0*

とてもよくできたストーリー。
ゲームシステムとストーリーが深く結びついていて説得力がある。
キャラクターもユニークかつユーモラス。
クリアまでのプレイ時間は10~15時間くらい。

### 5/5 — Le meilleur jeu de tous les temps

*2024-06-15*

Le meilleur jeu de tous les temps, il est vrai. Cependant le ratio utilisé pour iPad Pro est un peu décevant, ils auraient pu prendre avantage de ratio quatre tiers mais bon ça reste quand même le meilleur jeu de tous les temps.
