    One could say that not playing it would be criminal. And should you be accused of such a felony, I can only hope a lawyer as corrupt as Max McMann is serving as prosecutor.

    This universal game is witty, entertaining, and engaging. It looks great, has interesting dialog and offers challenging turn-based strategy gaming that will keep you playing for hours.

    It's a perfect example of a clever idea executed with quality presentation and design.

    Devil's Attorney is an unexpected surprise thanks to its perfect mix of great presentation, amusing sense of humour and simple but deep game mechanics.

    Taking turn based RPG combat away from fantasy and sci-fi, and playing things in a courtroom is enough of a spin to make Devil's Attorney worth a play (and the stylish character that the game is infused with doesn't hurt either).

    It's not as funny as it thinks it is, nor as enjoyable. [Jan 2013, p.31]

    Pros: It's a fun, well-designed, witty and entertaining game with nice graphics and amusing content. The turn-based combat is prettyPros: It's a fun, well-designed, witty and entertaining game with nice graphics and amusing content. The turn-based combat is pretty innovative as well.

    Cons: TOO short. I mean it took me 2-3 hours to finish the game on hard mode and I rarely spent more than 1-2 minutes on a case. It's too easy and repetitive as well. The only level that is a little challenging is the last one, which took me about 5 minutes to beat.

    Another problem with the combat mechanics is there are abilities which deal, for example, 1-5 damage randomly. So in order to win some cases, you have to retry until you get the required damage from an ability. If it's multiple abilities you have to max out, it takes a lot of retries to get it all right and it becomes boring and frustrating.

    All in all: If you are a casual gamer and looking for a game that you can play on a plane and waste a couple of hours, get it. It's perfect. However if you're looking for a challenging game that would take hours and hours to master with a lot of replay value with extra challenges and stuff, it will be a waste of your money.

    8/10 for casual gamers 6/10 for hardcore gamers 7/10 on average.    … Expand
