Ace Attorney: Apollo Justiceis the fourth in the series and the first to star a defense lawyer who isn’t Phoenix Wright. Naturally, this is quite the tone shift from previous entries, but the gameplay is largely kept the same - you’re still dealing with the same wacky casts of characters.

Turnabout Trump is Apollo’s first trial and also serves as a sort of tutorial to the trial system in the game. You won’t have to do any investigation in this one - that comes later - but you will have to solve the mystery of the murder at hand.
