Video Game Reviews of Touch Detective
Customer Review: Touch Detective: Cute & Fun
Summary: 4 Stars
The first thing I'm going to say about this game is it's charming and cute. The second thing I'll say is it delivered far less than the potential it had. And the third? It still delivered enough for it to be an excellent game.
So, in Touch Detective you're a cute little detective walking around looking for clues on cases. The cases are always given to you by Penelope, whom is a bizarre peer that likes bananas.
Yup, the game is very weird, but also entertaining. Realism? None, nothings realistic really, almost all fantasy. So if you're a Phoenix Wright fan looking for a nice case to solve put this game down.
Basically it's a simple point and clic---, touch if I may, game. You talk to people, receive information, and occasionally find an item on the ground to use. It can be frustrating as others have said, as sometimes for the story to progress you have to talk to the perfectly right character who basically says the same thing they said 2 minutes ago. So you do need patient and the willpower to walk to many different places trying to push on the story.
One complaint I didn't notice until 3/4th the way through is that the items really aren't used enough. The 2nd "Quest" you have a load of items, the 3rd and 4th you don't really at all. The items were the fun part, not talking to people 20 times until you figured out who you missed.
Difficulty wise the game seemingly gets much easier the further you get. The final quest was basically purely talking, with no items. But there was charm in the game.
From rescuing a fairy, to your friend being kidnapped, to a lost banana, if you like bizarre this game will for sure win you over. But be prepared to search around a lot.
Final rating is a 75%. I wouldnt buy it for more than $15. Though I did complete the game fully, and all the mini-objectives.
As for after the main quest, there are quite a few little mini-quests to do, though none are really hard and probably harder to trigger than complete. And being Atlus, I did expect the game to be more.
Still good though!
