Throughout the game, Monokuma continues to give them all new motives to kill each other, and the player must find the killer in each chapter to make sure the survivors all have a shot of escaping together.
And yet, horrifyingly, the bodies begin to pile up. Of course, the students swear against something as extreme as killing each other. Students with these extraordinary talents are given an "Ultimate X" title note "Super High School-Level X" in the original Japanese, and "Super Duper High School X" in the Project Zetsubou fan translation. This mentality extends towards any sort of niche, including unconventional ones like otaku and gamers and even criminals.

The premise of the first two titles in the series thus far take the same formula (while the third game exists in a new story arc, it generally sticks to this formula as well) the player takes the role of a new student at Hope's Peak Academy, a prestigious high school in Japan which only accepts the cream of the crop for its classes. The games combine mystery-solving with elements of shooting and even rhythm gameplay. Danganronpa S looks to fuse both of these together in one title in a new setting.Danganronpa note officially one word, but is often spelled as two - literally translates to "bullet rebuttal" is a series of "high-speed mystery action adventure" visual novels created by Kazutaka Kodaka, and released by Spike (now Spike Chunsoft) for the PSP, PS Vita, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and iOS. Monokuma’s Test, meanwhile, functioned like a dungeon crawler that you used those characters in. Each space gave you stats or shards you could use to purchase skills. Why? Well, you used Development Plan to actually build out a character like an RPG character. After three “years” (basically three laps around the board), you could save that character for use in Monokuma’s Test. In the former, you’d guide a student of your choice through a board game similar to The Game of Life. That mode was paired with Despair Dungeon Monokuma’s Test, with the two working off each other. This mode is an expansion of the Ultimate Talent Development Plan from Danganronpa V3, as I mentioned before. However, the bigger addition is Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp. So what’s new this time? Well, the version of the games included are the Anniversary Editions that were recently released on mobile. Wait, I get to have all my favorite characters hang out at summer camp?! Sign me up! Danganronpa 1-2 Reload (A compilation of the first two games for PS4).In fact, check out our reviews of the main three games below: So, if you’ve never played these games before then, I’d heartily recommend giving them a try. Which, among gaming culture, has become legendary in itself. Then there’s the payoff for solving the entire mystery. To use another comparison, if you like the Ace Attorneyseries, you’ll probably like how these cases play out. Additionally, the murder investigations and trials can be genuinely thought-provoking. Is it tragic at times? Of course, but there’s always a narrative purpose behind what the game is doing.
I place it up there with something like Corpse Party for how well it handles the subject. Personally, I stayed away from this series for the longest time as I’m not a fan of character death in my games. Danganronpa is known for its diverse characters and well-told stories. While the formula may seem a little odd at first glance, it works out really well. Monokuma is the headmaster, and you do not mess with him.In the event of a killing, there will be an investigation followed by a class trial.However, if you can pull off the perfect murder, you may leave.You’re told that you must live out your days here.You are either trapped in a school or a school environment.Each student is the “Ultimate” in something (Ultimate Inventor, Ultimate Martial Artist, Ultimate Gamer, etc.).You’re a student in a class of 15-16 people (evenly split between boys and girls).One of the Class Trials from Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmonyĭanganronpa, in general, has a few consistent elements:
