Detective Conan & Kindaichi Case Files: Chance Encounter of 2 Great Detectives (DS)
As a fan of both of these series, I was excited to play this knowing that there's an English fan translation of it. It's a pretty solid mystery game that felt pretty fast-paced for these kind of games, with me finishing the game with less than 20 hours for 7 chapters, each with their own murder cases that tie in to the big mystery of the game revolving a tragedy from 25 years ago (Get used to that phrase. Kinda fitting since it's developed by Spike). On top of that, that's also with me replaying the 7th chapter since you get some differences depending on a choice you make at the beginning of it. I do wish the cases were a bit more complicated considering the licenses involved but they're fine. Besides the typical mystery game gameplay like finding evidence in crime scenes and picking the correct answers for questions, there are a couple of mini-games/puzzles that use the touch screen, with some of them making you write numbers/letters like in a Professor Layton game.
Pretty fun game even if it doesn't reach the heights of other mystery games.
