四个短篇故事集 系统比较简单,即使思考能力差随便点也能过关 每篇故事都有令人眼前一亮的转折 前三篇都存在叙述诡计,第二遍游玩有另一番风味 只不过前三篇故事的流程都不是很长
Decent enough little game. Although it's in an investigative game, in the same vein as like "Ace Attorney Investigations," which is a highly interactive game, Makoto Wakaido really trends more towards pure visual novel. It's not a pure visual novel since it's interactive and you control the character, but there aren't any penalties for bad deductions or guesses. As such, like other reviewers have mentioned, you can just click through all the "evidence" or leads until you get the right deduction. Which I did at times. Yeah that's not as fun as Ace Attorney, where there's an actual challenge. Where you can actually game over if you choose wrongly too many times. But...Makoto Wakaido is, like I've alluded to, more about the story -- or stories -- than the gameplay. And I think the stories are interesting enough. As you progress through the four cases, they get more complex and convoluted, but there is a thin thread that links them all together. And each has an unexpected twist. I wouldn't say all of them are super strong stories, but again, they're interesting enough to keep me moving forward. I sometimes wish Steam had a numerical rating system. But it doesn't. So I'll give this game my own score: 6.5/10. OK that seems low, I know. But compared to other game within the mystery/investigation genre -- and I've played a bunch -- it's definitely weaker than its peers. But I'm not disappointed I played Makoto Wakaido. If you're into this genre, it's still worth playing. You should play it! Don't expect Ace Attorney, of course. And if you're a casual fan of the genre or new to it...it's up to you.
推理的遊玩性有點低,案子和劇情本身中上水準,但遊戲做的很無聊,感覺有點可惜。
全部破關完啦~ 遊戲總共分四個故事,以刑警和階堂真為主角,開始解開各種案件與謎團。 遊玩方式就是與地圖上的人或物互動,找尋線索拼湊出真相,玩起來有些像互動式小說。 我個人最喜歡的是隱神之森,音樂和畫面配合的都很不錯,結尾時的塑造與反轉也蠻驚喜。 . 如果說有什麼能改進的地方--我個人覺得推理環節很單調,甚至遊玩時與場景物品與人們互動在長時間遊玩下,相同的操作有些磨滅我推理的興致與對故事的帶入感,或許能思考是否有其他更有趣的方式呈現,以及增加其他類型的探索環節等等,並且如果特殊物品有特殊的繪圖顯示就更好了。(不過感覺弄完價格也會相對上升就是了) [spoiler]話說,第三篇結尾和階堂對偵探說,對方的和階堂血脈年紀愈大愈不中用,感覺是台詞沒注意到設計錯了,不然就是其實兩位是兄弟......。不清楚是什麼情況,但看起來怪怪的(汗)。[/spoiler] . 最後,這部遊戲個人覺得在故事劇情上較為優秀,儘管遊玩方式無法完美的呈現故事情節,但在劇情設計和結局呈現等巧思設計下依舊瑕不掩瑜,故還是推薦對於推理有興趣的人可以購買試試看。 PS.我很喜歡這部遊戲的像素圖,故偷偷許願一下,希望製作組能在點數商店上架個人檔案背景圖片等等,如果真的上架的話我一定會去支持的!
pretty cool, mostly a visual novel rather than a detective game in a way
This is an adventure game reminiscent of old-school point-and-click games. Gameplay feels especially similar of the Famicom Detective Club games, so if you liked those, you'll like this. The cases feel like very classic whodunnit short stories. The stories are quite linear and there's not much of a mystery-solving element to it, so just treat it as mostly a visual novel and you should have a good time. All in all, a great way to de-stress
I enjoyed it a lot. Occasionally I got stuck because I'd forget to clock a dialogue option or investigate an object that was near a more important looking object. This is a visual novel style game so don't go in expecting deduction.
This fun and engaging story-driven detective noir game actually consists of four playable whodunnit tales (not sure why it’s called a trilogy). In terms of gameplay, it’s not so much a puzzle-based detective game as interactive fiction, which places you in the protagonist’s shoes and thus makes you FEEL like a detective, without being too taxing in terms of puzzle mechanics or actually solving the cases. If you talk to everyone, you will find each of the dastardly culprits; and if you go in knowing that you’ll not be solving intricate cases, you’re much more likely to have a good time. (Some of the other reviewers seem to have been expecting more of a challenge in this vein. But this doesn’t seem to be what the game is going for). The jazzy, noirish soundtrack is top-drawer, and the monotone pixel art visuals - with striking streaks of red for the blood of the victims - sublimely simple. I never tired of the minimalist look and animations; Detective Wakaido’s hunch-shouldered walk being a particular favourite. The writing and characterisation are good, and the twists and turns you’d expect in this genre unfold in surprising and satisfying ways. There is also some excellent narrative framing around each of the tales, and fun references between them. Each tale took two hours or so. I’d recommend this as a palette cleanser between bigger, more challenging games.
全話クリア時のレビューです クリアまでは7時間弱、クリア=実績コンプの親切設計です 墓場文庫の作品は本作が初プレイです 1時間前後でクリアできる短編推理ADVが4本収録された作品です かなり抽象化されたドット絵が特徴的で、独特の雰囲気を味わうことが出来ます 元がスマホの無料(恐らく)アプリであったことを考えると満足ですが、1000円ほどのゲームと考えるとプレイフィールもストーリーもファン向けだなって感じです ただ元のアプリってのがAndroid版の1作目配信停止になっているっぽいので、ファン以外に届かないのは少し忍びないような……というわけで一応オススメです 全体的に言うとストーリーはどれも良くまとまっていて水準以上、システムはやや不親切ながらボリューム相応、グラフィックは素晴らしくBGMがしょんぼりでした 音色は良いんですけど、2作目以降の楽曲にハーモニーやメロディが腑に落ちないものが多く、最終的に最小にしてプレイしていました また、ほぼリニア進行のようになっている場面が多く、PVにもあるよう意地でもクリアさせてやるという気概を感じました 本作には4本の短編ADVが入っているので簡単にそれぞれレビューします 処刑人の楔 1時間ほどでクリア 事件のつかみ、ストーリーの構造がシリーズで最も明確で、強く印象に残っています キャラクターが絞られているのが印象に残りやすい理由だと思います 制作日記を見るに本当はこれで単発アプリの予定だったらしく、頷ける出来栄えでした 一番面白かったです 隠し神の森 2時間ほどでクリア 露骨に横溝っぽい家系図だとか因習だとか過去の因縁が出てくるのですが、メモを参照して人と話すシステムだと少し冗長に感じられてしまいました ストーリーの構造も少し蛇足であったような感触です 一方でグラフィックの表現は飛躍的に向上していたので、クライマックスがとても効果的で良かったです 影法師の足 1時間ほどでクリア オープニングから分かるように演出に特化した作品で、ミステリというよりサスペンスの雰囲気が強いです 探偵ものっぽく推理拠点が用意されているため、導線が明確で前作から一転してスピーディにゲーム進行が可能でした 都市が舞台であることからキャラクターのバリエーションが豊富で、今作の表現とマッチしていて好感触でした ストーリーの構造はやや強引ですが見せ場が良かったです 指切館の殺人 2時間ほどでクリア 定番の館ものということでそつのない出来栄えでしたが、過去2作で白眉だったビジュアル面での驚きが少なかったのが少し残念でした DELUXE版での追加シナリオにふさわしい良くまとまったストーリーでいいエンディングだったと思います というわけで1>3>4>2の順で気に入ったので、Android版や体験版を遊んでみて気に入ったら本作を買うってのが良いんじゃないかなあと思った次第です 26/02/21 誤字修正と一文追加
全4話、どの話もアッと驚く真相があって、最後まで楽しめました!
