Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies is the fifth game in the Ace Attorney series. It was released on the Nintendo 3DS in 2013, as well as IOS in 2014.

The story follows both lead attorneys from the series, Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice. After the events of the previous game, Phoenix's attorney's license was reinstated, and he and Apollo begin working together at the Wright Anything Agency, along with Athena Cykes. Their agency not only works as a law office, but it also doubles as a talent agency for Phoenix's adopted daughter, Trucey, who is a fledgling magician.

There are five cases, as well as one additional downloadable case. They are as follows:

1) Turnabout Countdown -- Court is interrupted by the ticking of a bomb. The court is left in ruins, and there's one casualty as well as several injuries. Athena Cykes, rookie lawyer and specialist in the field of analytical psychology, is sent to defend her childhood friend, who has been accused of setting the bomb off.

2) The Monstrous Turnabout -- This case takes place in a traditional Japanese village, where people dress up as Japanese Youkai (spirits, demons, monsters) and battle each other as a form of entertainment for those who visit. A heinous accident has taken place, and Apollo must investigate the truth behind the incident.

3) Turnabout Academy -- As one would expect, this takes place at a school. Phoenix is giving a seminar on law when one of the professors is found dead. It's up to Athena to once again defend her friend, but there are three other students who seem a lot more suspicious.

4) The Cosmic Turnabout -- Apollo's best friend is an astronaut, who is murdered right after his spaceship explodes. This takes place concurrently with case one, with the courtroom bombing. Because Apollo was injured in the bombing, Phoenix and Athena must take the case instead.

5) Turnabout for Tomorrow -- This case also ties together with cases one and four. Some new evidence links Athena to the murder of Apollo's friend, and it's up to Phoenix to bring to light the truth of the matter.

6) (downloadable case) Turnabout Reclaimed -- This takes place before the other cases in the game. It's the first case after Phoenix has been reinstated as an attorney, and he is sent to defend -- of all things -- an Orca, who has been accused of murdering its trainer at an aquarium.

This game integrates the new technology of the 3DS very nicely. I really enjoyed the way the new characters looked, and how the environments were more interactive. I liked the new gameplay with Athena's Mood Matrix, which allows you to find contradictions in a person's emotions during pivotal moments. I preferred cases three, four and five the most, with cases one and two being a bit less favourable.

Overall, I would rank this third, behind games one and three.
