· 3 yr. ago Best way to experience the story is by starting with the first one, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. And go from there in order of release! The first trilogy is being sold under one package and is available on pretty much whatever platform you wanna play it on. 16 level 1 deathbyglamor · 3 yr. ago The sidebar should have the order 9
The order to play would be: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy (Ace Attorney, then Justice for All, then Trials and Tribulations). Miles Edgeworth: Ace Attorney Investigations (only on DS, and optional). Miles Edgeworth: Ace Attorney Investigations - Prosecutor's Path …
So the recommended order of the games would be. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice For All. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials And Tribulations. Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. Ace Attorney Investigations. Ace Attorney Investigations 2. Professor Layton Vs Phoenix Wright. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Dual Destinies
Dual Destinies's M rating is actually pretty ironic because it's the most imature game in the franchise. The best starting point is the Trilogy collection, it has the first three games. r/AceAttorney.

The agreed-upon crown jewel of the Ace Attorney series, Trials and Tribulations allowed players to act as three different attorneys throughout the game while also bringing back important characters that make sense in the plot, rather than “just because." If being able to play as Mia Fey wasn't enough to earn first place on this list, then Phoenix Wright's college backstory most certainly is.
Another hidden gem of the Ace Attorney series, many have played Ace Attorney Investigations 2 through the outstanding fan translation available online. Not only is this another Japanese-exclusive game in the series, but it also stands out as another sequel better than the original.
Justice For All is a worthy sequel to Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, though it excels in different ways than its predecessor. The intrigue of Edgeworth's disappearance combined with the introduction of a new Von Karma creates a curiosity that can only be sated by pouring over every word of the game. Akemi Kimura does a phenomenal job composing music for every mood and scenario, leaving a lasting impression for weeks afterward.
With many fans expecting a sequel to Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney (and many fans disliking the new character), Capcom took a very different route. The first main series game on the 3DS, Dual Destinies arguably has one of the most fantastic soundtracks for a 3DS game, with renowned composer Noriyuki Iwadare at his best.
As the title suggests, investigation-type gameplay was first introduced in Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth and marked a huge, polarizing change from the first four games.
In the scheme of crossover games, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright was decidedly mediocre, especially for two franchises that had been around long enough to build up two solid fan bases. Expectations were never really met from either side when it came to playing as Professor Layton or Phoenix Wright.
The most recent game in the main series, Spirit of Justice, has the spirit of the four previous games, but it didn’t quite live up to fans’ expectations.
Being the first Ace Attorney game where you play as a character other than Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney worked surprisingly well. Apollo Justice, the apprentice of sorts to Phoenix Wright, is actually a loveable and fun protagonist for the game. Plus, he had the ability to “perceive” at a deeper level than his predecessor.
This Switch bundle gave us two brilliant Ace Attorney spin-offs that were previously not released in English: The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures and The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve.
As a sequel to the first game in the franchise, Justice for All is a worthy follow-up, but at the same time it simply continued the series rather than doing anything groundbreaking or pushing the envelope.
At the time of its release, Dual Destinies was a near masterpiece on the Nintendo 3DS. It used the 3D features flawlessly and incorporated fully-animated cutscenes, which really helped bring the courtroom and crime scenes to life.
Let’s start things off with the newly- announced game, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. This is actually a collection of two games previously released only in Japan for the 3DS and mobile devices, Dai Gyakuten Saiban and Dai Gyakuten Saiban 2 (now officially titled The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures and The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve in English). While the main series is set in the near future, these are far-distant prequels that take place in Meiji era Japan and star Phoenix Wright’s ancestor, Ryunosuke Naruhodo. After traveling to Britain in order to continue studying, he crosses paths with none other than Sherlock Holmes–or rather, Herlock Sholmes. Yes, Capcom decided that for the Western release of these games, it was safer to go with the time-honored tradition of renaming Holmes to Sholmes.
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles will be out on July 27, bringing these prequel spin-offs to the West at last. If you’re a newcomer to the series, there is also a special bundle called the Ace Attorney Turnabout Collection that bundles The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles together with the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Only ever released on the 3DS, this crossover brings the courtroom deductions of the Ace Attorney series together with the puzzle-solving investigations of the Professor Layton series in a standalone story about witch trials in a strange, magical city. While I have my criticisms of its story, it’s both an homage to the two series it comes from, as well as a game that can be played without knowledge of either. Unfortunately, there’s no sign of it coming to any other platform (and it never even goes on sale when the other games do).
The gameplay is divided into two phases, Adventure and Witch Trial, where both main characters and their assistants get a chance to do what they’re good at. This 3DS crossover was also the first Ace Attorney game to introduce animated cutscenes, which were already a staple of Professor Layton.
The latest game in the Ace Attorney franchise to come to the West is a weird one in that it takes place in Maya Fey’s country of origin, the mystical land of Khura’in, where spiritualism is taken as fact.
