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.
