初見還好,但越玩越發現有問題 好人是要死的 犯人要有被同情的理由 結局還要來點宏大敘事,消費一下愛國情懷 很標準的中國文青編劇喜歡的劇情......
I really did enjoy this detective game! This is also charming, especially the setting is in the 20th century China! Each case had its own uniqueness and I never thought all the cases would actually link together to another new mystery!! There were also good plot twists, secrets and mysteries... which I did not expect at all. I would wish there were more games like this one.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Games like this raise a question between what is a homage with its own elements and what is copying a formula with a different skin - In this case, many commenters have accurately noted that this game directly copies many elements of the Ace Attorney series, but after completing Murders on the Yangtze River it became more apparent from the final chapter of the game. Keeping it spoiler light, the final chapter has many elements taken directly from Ace Attorney, right down to having to interrogate an animal in court, except when implemented in this game they seem out of place, not built up fully to make meaningful sense. This also severely impacts this games ability to stand on its own two feet, by being seemingly unwilling to break away from its inspirations when they weren't serving the specific tone Murders on the Yangtze River tries to craft. Other reviewers have also noted out aspects such as what appears to be the occasional use of AI for voice lines, and a locked-room mystery being fully lifted from their listed inspiration list. It's overall a solid 6/10, but gets pushed into the not recommend category due to issues with locating the English options in the game, and credits, some writing in evidence items (Impacting your ability to assess said evidence), and DLC still being only available in Chinese.
Absolutely fabulous story and characters. The inclusion of historical facts and tidbits was fascinating and brought a lot to the whole experience. Highly recommend!
很好玩很有意思的推理类游戏
时隔两年终于通关了,之前玩的前两章剧情都忘了。好玩。
Очень классная игра))) Давно не читала таких захватывающих и продуманных сюжетов, да и еще с историческими справками по истории и культуре Китая. И время выбрано интересное, начало 20 века) Короче, все понравилось!!! И сюжет и герои, и геймплей, и графика! Хотелось бы еще игру с приключениями этих героев) Единственный минус — отсутствие русской локализации... Есть фанатская, довольно хорошая, но там не переведено заседание суда 2 главы и не переведено "Дело запертой комнаты"... Разработчики, милые, добавьте русский язык! Так хочется узнать все нюансы ваших историй! Этих и возможно будущих))
游戏风格上明显模仿了逆转裁判系列,作为推理游戏的诡计内核也有明显借鉴嫌疑。
Perhaps the best Ace Attorney inspired game I've played, much as I love others in this genre. And a must have for any Great Ace Attorney fan.
《山河旅探》评测 这是一款非常有特色的侦探类型视觉小说。 首先,游戏选择了民国题材,这本身就是一个很有趣的立意。游戏中加入了大量的史实和犯罪相关的知识点,在涉及到史实的各种称呼上也是分外严谨(就连主角的名字也是),无疑让整个游戏的代入感更上一层楼。考据党狂喜。 第二,这个作品的英文叫做《Murders on the Yangtze River》,直译也就是《长江上的谋杀案》。主人公的破案与探游之旅也是顺流而下,过武汉、下扬州,一路来到入海口上海,让玩家也仿佛身临其境如此走了一般江南。 难能可贵的是,游戏做到了有头有尾: 1. 开头案件中,涉案者因吸食鸦片而精神狂躁,再加上其他错综复杂的因果,最终犯下了罪行。 [spoiler]2. 在最后一个涉及到主人公自身的案子当中,用一个反毒品、反不平等条约的方式,回扣了第一个案件的线索,并直接强调了反毒反封的内涵。[/spoiler] 这种有头有尾的设计,更点出了这部作品不单纯只是一个讲究惩恶扬善的破案游戏,它更多地向人展示了当时整个民国时期国内错综复杂的大环境下,即便有许多见不得光的罪恶和如今看来可笑的陈腐观念,也有众多有识之士为国家富强奔走的真实努力。让人玩起来非常有民族自豪感。 整体来讲,游戏中的主角都性格鲜明: • 沈仲平的沉稳善良,思维宫殿用得绝妙; • 阿福可爱憨厚,格致学(科学)小道具总能救场; • 文记者文思巧妙,聪慧伶俐,一手好文章总在头条。 这些都让人历历在目,更不用提章节当中其他小人物的爱恨情仇和如许挣扎了。 除了剧情部分,这个作品比较用心的点还在于,它不只是简单的视觉小说,除了对话选项外,它还加入了很多有趣的解谜玩法。这些玩法当然也可以跳过,但整体来讲,它们增加了整个游戏的沉浸感和趣味性。可惜有些成就对于我这种手残党来说,实在是一遍也拿不到,不过可跳过的设计无疑还是对像我这样的玩家非常体贴(但是犟种表示自己一个都没有跳过)。 我觉得还能看到制作组用心的一点是: 1. 隐藏章节:在打通所有正片关卡之后,可以去玩隐藏章。 2. 成就与结局系统:那些收集的小图标让人感觉挺有收获感,而且设计得很像邮票,很有趣味。 作为一个 2D 横版探索游戏,我已经能感觉到创作者们在想方设法通过有限的程序功能让关卡表现得更丰富(当然程序老师也很辛苦)。我觉得这一点特别让像我这样的游戏开发者感觉到受鼓舞。 因为对于玩家而言,他们的体验并非简单的一个小人在 2D 平面上走来走去,而是从纷繁的街景和与各色人物的交锋中,感受到在民国那个政局混乱、鸦片泛滥、观念闭塞、各方面混乱交叠的时代当中,一个人怎么样用自己的努力和智慧,去尝试揭露这庞大时代帷幕当中的小小一角。而那些心有所念的人们,又有着怎样的不甘心和种种可歌可泣的努力。这种揭露、这些努力,哪怕只是让一点人获得了慰藉,也是难能可贵和难以忘怀的篇章。 考虑到我真的很喜欢这个故事,所以这里再单拎出来说说我对主角和剧情高潮的一些感受: 玩家所扮演的主角沈仲平,并非一帆风顺。他 [spoiler]开局就被误会为杀人犯,险些直接被捕。随着章节的推进,玩家得知他失去了唯一的至亲哥哥沈伯安,他几年来都为查出真相而不懈努力却依旧无果。再后来,他父亲吸食鸦片并将家底挥霍一空还险些将小仲平卖掉的往事也被揭露出来。[/spoiler]可我们最初见到主角时,他沉稳、聪慧,丝毫不像是经历了那些事情的样子。他带着自己的目的而来,即便计划被打乱也灵活应变,救己于困局之中。也正如后来所经历的那般。 主角是一个星光般的人,在这片混沌的夜空中闪烁。 我其实很喜欢“旅探”的概念,不是简单的旅行,也不是简单的破案。主角所往来各地搭乘的船叫“山河号”,他是旅者,见证、经历许多悲欢;他是侦探,揭露、破解许多罪恶。在这大美风光中去历千万人心的沟壑。他既搭着船,自己也是船。 最后一章“申城迷局”是我看来全游戏最精彩的章节。在这一章节中, [spoiler]法庭对辩是高潮中的高潮。主角团几次三番提出了关键证据,奈何法庭上的洋人一味包庇洋人,毫无公正与规则可言。我从未如此可感地意识到历史书上写的“领事裁判权”是多么可恶的东西。既然规则本身是服务于掌握话语权的一方,那么惟有取得话语权,才有依规则行事的可能。[/spoiler]在这种情况下,各种BE在我看来也并非简单的结局收集,其实也是一种颇为残酷的时代图景——在那样的环境中但凡行差踏错一步,也就永远得不到想要的真相,而是——轻则在永远的迷茫中徘徊,重则身陷囹圄、客死他乡。 好在,我们还是找到了唯一的答案,抓住了唯一的一线生机。 最后再来个题外话,我还挺欣赏DLC没做出来改为 [spoiler]隐藏章这个处理的——不管是出于何种原因,没有在不行的情况下硬来,以至于破坏前面的好印象;又不至于浪费素材和已经做出的努力。而且最后这种meta的方式也算增加些心意——虽然我依然不知道“我”到底是谁hhh[/spoiler] 好啦,以上就是本次评测!谢谢沈老师和福老师和其他伙伴们陪伴我的二十多个小时!
