A classic adventure game that holds up moderately well. The game is rather long, featuring trappy needle with some basic gimmicks, and several bosses. The needle is pretty reasonable, although it is exceedingly generic by today's standards. The final area features a big difficulty spike, as the needle suddenly becomes 2-frame city, with an insane amount of minispike gates, often multiple in one save. Due to the keyboard dependent nature of these jumps, it is quite unfun, and a very poor design decision. The traps are mostly just simple flying spikes, nothing noteworthy. Most of them are simple to dodge, but there are a handful that are way too precise, becoming an extreme annoyance, notably one in the very first area.

The bosses are the highlight of the game for sure. Most of them aren't too hard, although the final boss is a large difficulty spike, and the hardest part of the game by far. The highlights are the final 3 bosses, with the ones before being pretty unmemorable. One of them is a short avoidance, that has some fun dodges, and is reasonable to beat without a long grind. Another is Mortamer from Dragon Quest VI, more commonly known as "jazz hands demon". This fight is fun, and it features the infamous hand resurrections if you don't kill them close enough together. As someone who played a lot of Dragon Quest as a kid, the original iteration of this is perhaps the first time I experienced a "troll" in a videogame. It's such an iconic thing that holds a very special place in my heart, so I had a big smile on my face when I saw it make an appearance here.

The final boss took me about 4.5 hours of my 10 hour playtime. It's far and away the hardest part of the game, but it's a well known fight that is a great test of your mettle. It features three phases with no checkpoints. This can be quite annoying, as you need to do the slow first phase to reach the hard part. The entire fight features a lot of bullshit transitions, as new attacks start before the pervious one is gone. However, despite these gripes the fight is still quite fun, and an excellent climax to the game. It is incredibly satisfying to finally beat it, and makes the game stand out so much more. It's far from a perfect fight, but I found that for some reason, I didn't care.

Overall, this is a very flawed game, and I can't justify rating it higher. However, it is certainly a memorable experience and it has some moments that shine really bright. This, combined with its fame in the community, means that I actually do recommend this game for experienced fangame players, especially those interested in fangame history. But anyone who plays Justice needs to be prepared for archaic design, and several segments that are downright unpleasant.

Absolutely love it, one of my favorite fangames of all time, probably I've cleared it around 5 times by now.

Before everything, I want to say that I've made a english mode of this game (and of the easy version) because this game has a very huge story but only in japanese, so if you want it you can download it here https://www.mediafire.com/file/ygjeyoau5v5hsc5/justice_english.rar/file

I already made a review of the easy version and since this game is basically the same but harder, I'm gonna be short and sum up what I wrote : great game overall, the platforming is pretty good and late bosses are interesting, well-written story that add a lot to the atmosphere.
However I have to develop a bit for the final boss of this version : it's probably one of the most frustrating boss I have fought, the first phase is way too long and repetitive, and since there is no time between attacks you will get walled many times. The same problem happens for the second phase, making some already not very good attacks really unfair. Also the attack at 1 and 2 third of his life is really an RNG fiesta. Third phase is ok but happens at the end of an already long boss and feels really unnecessary.

I personally liked the easy version more but this is by no mean a bad game, I just wish the final boss was more balanced.

Really great game with nice bosses, traps and some good moments. It's one of my favorite Carnival games. However, the only flaw I had (by that I mean BIG flaw) is how crap the final boss is.

Phase 1 sometimes doesn't give you any time to react to upcoming cherries (especially the ones that fall down), thus dying in a really unfair way. The same goes for phase 2, but combine it with bad RNG. While purple can be managable, the last attack of orange and green really can give you some moments where you just get smashed to death. Yellow is the same too, but only when his stream of yellow cherries directly shoots in front of you. Phase 3 is definitely the most fair, and the one that I like the most. It starts out really simple, then you need to move to the one side of the screen to the other while dodging the falling cherries and then he shoots a bunch of red spikes in a random direction. The only one you really need to worry about is the red spike attack. After shooting his eye for a while you'll get to his last phase, where a bunch of random objects fall down and try to kill you. You can get walled at times, but try to be patient as possible.

For some reason, there's also a skip you can do in one of the bosses which lets you skip the boss entirely. I have no idea if he let this in by accident or not, but it saves a lot of time.

Fun, with the exception of the final boss. Try it out, or play the easy version which reduces the difficulty quite a bit.
