Fantastic game

I always find myself coming back to play this game. Very good port and an amazing story.

Great game as the second installment of series

After I finished the first installment of the series, I rushed to play the start playing the second one. The diabolical box is as good as the curious village, with more puzzles (some are difficult like chess) and new mini games. The end of the story is still a little bit sad but very touching like its predecessor.

Overall, I think that playing the Professor Layton game can make you both play and learn at the same time.

Absolutely Amazing!

I have always loved this series and it is so nice to have the second game on the App Store! The music is amazing (as per usual), game play and puzzles are amazing (as per usual) and the nostalgia is unreal!! Absolutely would recommend this game to any puzzlers out there - it’s my favorite!

PLEASE HELP

I am stuck in Herzens Museum owned by Mr.Bailey and I got stuck because it wont let me out, I looked up what to do and it said I needed to take a picture but I have not finished building the camera and have 4 pieces left. H E L P HOW DO I GET OUT?!?

Better than the first

This game, while much more difficult, is much more engaging than the first game. If you liked the first game there is no way that you wouldn’t like this one.

BUY THE BUNDLE

Just buy the bundle you save so much money and get easily 50 hours of gameplay with the first 3 games

This port is all but perfect except for one thing...

This is a near perfect port of the original DS game!

My only gripe is the “true” solution for one of the puzzles near the end isn’t the same as the original! It was such a cool way to solve the puzzle and provided one those “omg” moments that’s unforgettable.

I won’t spoil it for those who have never played the original, but the current solution doesn’t even make sense and robs today’s players of one of the greatest moments of the Professor Layton series.

So Psyched!

I loved these beautiful and challenging games back when they were on DS, and am so incredibly excited to play them again! The pictures are so beautifully clear and the puzzles are the same balance of challenge and uniquity! Absolutely love the adaptation...

My favorite!!

My absolute favorite game brought back to life! I played back on the Nintendo DS, and I’m so glad to get to play again on my phone!! Obsessed!

Take my money please

Please follow thru with unwound future! This game was my childhood and im willing to pay however much yall charge 💕

100% Perfectly Renedered

It has been very nostalgic to replay through this golden handheld game.

The graphics update is beautiful,

Thank you

UF mobile when?

A fantastic job has been done translating these to mobile. I can’t wait for Unwound Future to be ported!

Perfect Port

Game runs flawlessly, fluid and responsive. Bring back more Nintendo DS ports please!

Love it!

I love the Layton series and this entry in particular. My only gripe is that I have an auditory disorder which causes my nose to bleed when I process noise at certain frequencies. Every sound in this remastered version is led in, unfortunately, with a very jarring sting that triggers my nosebleeds.

So I can’t listen to the game! But it’s okay. Everything else is polished and wonderful! Thank you Level-5!

So Much Adoration

I loved playing these on my DS, I’m so excited to see these being out on the App Store. The hundreds of puzzles, beautiful environments and character designs, and the interesting story make this game worth buying. I hope we get to see more games as well!

My fav in HD

This game. Man, this game. What else can I say? This is my second personal favorite Layton game, next to Unwound Future.

(Please do that one next, btw)

I’ve sold every puzzle, finished every mini game, and even still have the original DS copy with me. The story in this game is beyond phenomenal, as expected from you guys. Especially the ending. The wholesome and heartwarming finish to an challenging yet rewarding game. In the future, I might even do a Layton cosplay because he made that much of an impact to me.

From,
A fellow gentleman

WOW

I have grown up with the Professor Layton games and was so happy to experience it once again. It’s unpredictable in its mysteries and it’s completion is both rewarding and enthralling. I adore these games with every fibre of my being and I’m so blessed to have grown up with games that have taught me so very much.

Once again level 5 has done it. A beautiful game and story, glad I got to play it on my phone.

GREAT! Totally recommend

This game is perfect! I remember playing these games growing up almost 10 years ago. it’s so great being able to play them all again now on iOS. Can’t wait for more to come out!

Amazing

Literally one of my favorite games! I’m so happy they’ve started bringing them to mobile so I can play them all over again. The puzzles range from quick and easy to long and challenging. However, the actual draw of this game is its story, which is funny and emotional and intriguing and mysterious. Big fan and I am looking forward to more of these games in the future!
