Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice is the sixth game in the Ace Attorney series. It was released on the 3DS in 2016.

The story once again follows lead attorneys Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, and Athena Cykes. Also returning are fan favourite characters Maya Fey, Ema Skye, Trucey Wright, and Miles Edgeworth. Each case is split between Phoenix, who has travelled to the Kingdom of Khura'in to visit Maya, and Apollo, who is holding down the fort with Athena back in America. The two stories then become intertwined along the way

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

1) The Foreign Turnabout -- Khura'inese law is much different than what Phoenix is used to -- defense lawyers essentially do not exist, as the court instead relies upon seances (as performed by Princess Rayfa) which reveal the victim's final moments. Most people are put to death immediately after each seance. Phoenix steps in to defend a small child, much to the dismay of the people in Khura'in who are looking for swift justice. If he doesn't prove his client's innocence, they will BOTH be put to death!

2) The Magical Turnabout -- Back in America, Apollo has to defend Phoenix's adopted daughter Trucey after a stage show goes wrong, and she's accused of murder.

3) The Rite of Turnabout -- In Khura'in, Phoenix has been reunited with Maya the day before she's supposed to take part in an ancient ritual. Afterwards, it's revealed that the other participant has been murdered, and she is the only suspect. Many twists are ahead in this one, and it sets up the idea of revolution in Khura'in, which continues on in case five.

4) Turnabout Storyteller -- Athena and her friend, Prosecutor SImon Blackquill, help defend a young man who has been accused of murdering his mentor in cold blood. One of the shorter cases in the game, with no investigation as it takes place entirely in the courtroom.

5) Turnabout Revolution -- In America, Apollo reunites with the man who raised him. They first work to solve the murder of a man in a nearby village, who had promised to entrust Apollo's father with a precious artifact. Later, they travel to the Kingdom of Khura'in where Maya has been taken hostage. A lengthy, but truly excellent case.

6) (downloadable) Turnabout Time Traveller -- Taking place in America, you play as Phoenix, who meets up with his old pal Larry Butz. Larry is accompanied by a young bride who is accused of killing someone at the ceremony. Twist: she also claims to be a time traveller.

This has some of the best character design out of the entire series. The Khura'inese characters have a great mix of Indian and Japanese qualities to them, and they're not only really beautifully drawn, but very interesting and full-fleshed out. The introduction of the seances in court is a nice addition. They were a bit difficult to figure out at times, and admittedly, I had to look for help online, but I never got really frustrated.

My biggest complaint with this title is the fact that some of the storylines were a bit convoluted. They tried to pack too many twists into each case, which eventually got tiresome. It's still one of the better games in the series, though, and one which I would recommend on the whole.
