The game was inspired by Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. I have not played Phoenix Wright but if it is indeed like Socrates Jones, it will be a fun play.
In battle, I mean, in debate. |
The fun part is in the debates with philosophers. Socrates asks questions to better understand other philosophers' views and gather ideas that he may later use against them. In the end, Socrates has to show that the conclusion of his opponent is flawed. The conversation can also go funny when Socrates leads the conversation to silly areas. For example, there were situations when Socrates could ask a philosopher to prove what he (Socrates) had just proven to be true. :p
There is a Tutorial at the start of the game to explain the methods of debate and to introduce the in-game tools.
A dramatic critical hit! |
Socrates Jones: Pro Philosopher is a great debate game with its entertaining conversations. It is possible to win debates by guessing. However, it is better to understand the arguments presented and learn some philosophy at the same time.
Nice reference there (play the game to read the full Easter Egg). |
