Yeah I got through like 20 minutes of that game before I realized it was a light novel and this wasn’t some kind of annoyingly long and convoluted tutorial.

Visual novel and it’s more gamey than most.

The non visual novel parts (the investigations) are by far the weakest point imho. I always was extremely happy to be back in court

Yeah but it wasn’t as gamey, as, say, a game

which is what I thought I bought when I got it

If you went into phoenix wright as an adult and didn’t understand the concept of a visual novel, you played yourself.

I mean personally I think it’s closer to those point and click adventure games, just shrunk down to be appropriate for a handheld of the day

It’s got about as much gameplay as most hack n’ slash action games or FPSes where you spend the entire game spamming the same buttons over and over again.

And a hell of a lot more story.
