**JOGAÇO!!!!!** Muito divertido de explorar os cenários do jogo, descobrir as pistas e resolver os casos. O sistema de investigação é muito massa e você realmente precisa pensar sobre os casos e reavaliar pistas para apontar o desenrolar dos casos (inclusive isso me deixou com mais vontade de jogar já que, a parte desafiadora não é descobrir o culpado e sim apontar como tudo aconteceu de forma coesa). Os fatos históricos e curiosidades inseridos no jogo também são interessantíssimos e muito legais pra quem tem curiosidades sobre a cultura chinesa e também sobre como funcionam as coisas em investigações/ autópsias reais. As músicas do jogo são muito boas, as vozes localizadas também e a tradução em inglês tá bem legal! (queria muito em ptbr mas sei como deve ser um trabalhão pra traduzir). Recomendo muito pra quem curte jogos de puzzle investigativo e que prefere jogos mais estratégicos em que você precisa realmente estar imerso nos casos para resolve-los. Além de tudo que já mencionei, a arte do jogo é linda!! Teria a maioria delas em um pôster facilmente na minha parede. Muito feliz com o jogo e espero muito as futuras DLCs!

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.

[b]Murders on the Yangtze River 4/5:[/b] [i]"You always say that there are no flawless crimes, but the truth is... Flawless reasoning also doesn´t exist."[/i] Phoenix Wright ruku v ruce se Sherlockem a soudcem Ti slouží jako předobraz mechanikami, stylem, zasazením. Pokud jsou vaším šálkem seriózní klasické detektivní adventury, byla by jen a jen vaše vlastní škoda toto minout. Jakkoli to nesporně má svá mnohá "ale". Ta jsou však většinou daná příliš ambiciózní vizí na prvotinu od malého týmu. Detektiv Shen zjistí, že mu v Londýně umřel bratr. Vše vypovídá o tom, že šlo o jasnou sebevraždu. Zamčený pokoj zevnitř, dopis na rozloučenou, styl úmrtí... Popravdě, až příliš indicií jasně ukazuje, že jde zcela nepochybně o sebevraždu. Což nedá Shenovi spát. Jakmile se po letech dozví, že v rodné Číně je detektivka, která obsahuje případ "slovo od slova" přesně shodný se (sebe)vraždou jeho bratra, vydává se vystopovat autora knihy. Následuje série událostí, která ústí v řadu více či méně proletených případů, jasně se odkazujících na klasické detektivky. Výhodou je, že každý z případů se nese v trochu jiném duchu. Jednou se snažíte očistit nevinně obviněného, jindy ostatní přesvědčujete, že to, co se zdá jako tragická nehoda, byla úkladná vražda. Někdy jste přizván jako nestranný, jinde se Shena případ dotýká osobně. A to vše tvůrci zasadili do Číny během turbulentních společenských změn, kdy se čínská kultura začíná střetávat se západním pokrokem. A tak se v případech projevují i společenské změny či přímo historické události. Za vypíchnutí stojí uprostřed vložená samostatná kapitola, kdy Shen vzpomíná, jak se setkal se svým asistentem. Je to čistě "agathovský" cca dvě až tři hodiny dlouhý případ, který se odehraje jedné noci na lodi mezi úzkým okruhem postav. Vypadne elektřina, během rozruchu je nalezena zavražděná postava, chvíli na to další a další... Mají u sebe karty s odpočtem a zbývající přeživší najdou u sebe karty, kdo bude následovat. Má to spád, zvraty, osobní vendetty... Zlatý hřeb titulu, který by obstál i sám o sobě. Jakkoli je to plné mechanik z klasických adventur, tak stále je to především vizuální novela více než co jiného. Jen má v rámci žánru nezvykle dost interaktivních pasáží. Velká výhoda je kondenzovanost zážitku. Tento subžánr her často dojíždí na přílišnou ukecanost nabalenou na kvalitní strukturu případu. Zde se jde v rámci případů k jádru pudla, čili neřešíte vztahové eskapády apod. Přitom to nemá dopad na herní dobu; ta je stále více než solidní a počítejte s minimálně dvaceti hodinami. (ne)Výhoda je, že co se týče dedukcí, autoři vás nevedou za ručičku. Což je výhoda, jelikož budete opravdu muset dávat pozor a domýšlet si své teze z náznaků, rozporů, sledu událostí apod. Nevýhoda to je proto, že pokud se sama uvedete svou verzí událostí v omyl, nehnete se dále a skončíte u nezábavného "vše na vše". Co hůře, pokud víte "kdo, jak, proč", stále musíte absolvovat posloupnost uvažování, kterou po vás vyžaduje hra. Což mnohdy znamená, že musíte vést linii vyšetřování/zpovídání, u které víte, že nikam nevede. Toto, stejně jako "předložte důkaz, který vaši teorii dokazuje", abyste následně museli předložit něco obskuního s přes koleno lámanými asociacemi místo nabízejícího se předmětu, jsou nevyhnutelné neduhy v rámci žánru. Jen zde je to více do očí bijící, protože je to až otravně často. Otázkou vkusu je pak zvolený styl grafiky. Tvůrci se odkazují na tradiční čínskou malbu tuší. A lokace i předměty tomu odpovídají. Nikoli však postavy, ty jsou jakože chibi manga karikatury, což nesedne ani ke stylu lokací ani k serióznosti klasických detektivek. Zmínit se musí i překlad do angličtiny. Ten je často kostrbatý a místy zcela absentující (po finále je bonusová epizoda, která i roky po vydání zůstává nepřeložena). Pokud klasiky deduktivního žánru máte již dohrané, tak byste toto minout neměli. A vlastně byste to neměli minout, i pokud dosud s deduktivním žánrem detektivek nemáte v herní podobě zkušenosti. Tedy pokud vám adventury a vizuální novely nejdou vyloženě proti srsti. ------------------------------------------------------------------ [i]-: Případná další (ne)doporučení jsou k nalezení na mé [url=store.steampowered.com/curator/9557800-%28do%29Hr%C3%A1no/]kurátorské stránce[/url] :- [/i]
类逆转中一流的质量,叠加时代主题,确实不错
结尾主题也是让我心头一颤
神作,不仅诡计精妙,最后还升华了
An excellent game and story, the store description doesn't quite do the title justice. This is not simply "Chinese Ace Attorney," this is a 6 chapter epic where all the cases are linked in a satisfying manner, with a plot rooted in the history of the place and time of the late Qing dynasty. There is nuance sprinkled throughout every inch of this game's writing, and no character is wasted. Not even the dead ones. Highlights: [list] [*]Not only does the game have a good explicit hint system, but presenting specific wrong answers can also yield unique dialogue that will either nudge you in the right direction or spell out why that otherwise intuitive evidence is wrong. These are everywhere. This is rare even in Ace Attorney, and indicates either a lot of playtesting or just plain good wit on the part of the devs. Possibly both. [*]The art is drop-dead gorgeous. [*]No, the English dub is not missing. What you are hearing is intentional design. Some characters speak Chinese in their VO, some speak English. Some do both, and there's meaning in which one they choose in a given situation. [*]Again, the character writing. Need I say more? [/list] Nitpicks: [list] [*]Your computer's set locale is not detected when you launch the game for the first time, meaning the game will default to its native language of Chinese no matter what. If you can't speak Chinese to save your life, this means a Steam guide is the only thing that will help you get the game in a playable state. This is a patchable issue and I hope the devs address it, this was probably the source of a lot of refunds in the foreign market. [*]The English translation and certain English VO lines deviate from one another sometimes, particularly in the scenes involving British police. This doesn't break the game, the information conveyed is the same, but this can mess with immersion. [*]Character sprites specifically in Chapter 1 sometimes stand in spots that don't make geometric or physical sense. The studio seemed to wise up to that with every other case, all other cases don't have this problem. [/list]
200% recommend!! I'm a big fan of puzzle, mystery and detective games, the Ace Attorney series being the best in the genre (in my opinion). But I have to say Murders on a Yangtze River is both an homage to these games, and a clear step up. Not only are the visuals and the music gorgeous but the mysteries are intricate yet remain plausible and always logical. In these kind of games, the solutions are sometimes a bit far fetched and not realistic and I've always found it frustrating - ending up online looking for the solution because a certain point or chapter makes 0 sense and at that point i just NEED to know the end. It's not the case here - of course some of the murder are really intricate but they still manage to be believable. You can feel how much effort was put in the historical details and also basic science. . The help clues are actually helpful without revealing anything. They are particularly helpful when the English translation is the little bit off (which is not often but as non native english speaker it can be a bit puzzling sometimes). It's the first time I play a game like this and all the clues, the way the character thinks and the clues to present are actually make sense - yet it's not easy to untangle everything. At the end, practically all questions are answered directly and if not, the solution is implied, which I find really satisfying. Honestly cannot wait to play the next one !!
不戳不戳,剧情挺精彩的,可以当逆转123的代餐了hhh(?)最后一章逆转1-4既视感有点重啊,沈仲平你也开了自动拾取吗。后半段一会说中文一会说英文怪怪的有点难绷,结尾居然还有参考文献……我不行了
好玩,期待第二部
