Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc

I constantly wonder which characters ass id wanna eat food off of the most

the game is fucking fire, and I would nail Kyoko Kirigiri without a second thought.

Completely missed the series during it's peak popularity, but finally got around to it and I still think it absolutely worth it to pickup and play. The story is very enjoyable, even with some sections feeling slightly too handholdy I just found the trial minigames fun enough to overlook some elements of it. Characters are memorable and there is a nice mix of big personalities. If you are going for 100% there is quite some extra grind after finishing main story, but personally I didn't feel like the main playthrough dragged on too long for any of the sections.

unironically really fun the cosplayers were def on to something

I'm glad the person who recommended me this game was my ultimate hope. :) Thank you and to anyone reading this Danganronpa is absolutely worth it as it's a reminder of even in those tough moments there will always be hope and even when you feel despair crawl in your not alone, my ultimate hope reminded me of that. :)

While I'm not exactly a big fan, I do have some experience with Visual Novels. Even the usual Japanese lunacy doesn’t faze me, as I quite liked AI: The Somnium Files. However, Danganronpa didn’t resonate with me at all. It certainly has a variety of characters, but most of them come across as shallow archetypes. It includes gameplay sections, but they're awkwardly executed. On the one hand, you’re constantly forced to guess exactly what the game wants you to do, even if you’ve already figured out what's going on (Closing Arguments). On the other hand, it ends up testing your reflexes more than your cognitive skills (Nonstop Debates). Having recently played Lucifer Within Us, I found its investigative approach much more my thing. Interesting cases might have redeemed its other shortcomings, but sadly, that wasn’t the case. The first murder is downright absurd—the killer's name is literally written at the crime scene. Yet, you're forced to spend an hour jumping through hoop...

Still my favourite VN of all time. Love the class trials. I have replayed this so many times already on the PSP before finally getting it on Steam as well.

0.00% repeat chance and i got a repeat, rigged

I personally think this is the worst in the series but its not a bad thing because all of them are good

I find the story pretty mediocre which unfortunately is a bit of a killer for visual novels like this. The mysteries themselves are OK, but the central plot and cast are all fairly weak. There is a fairly decent amount of content and replay-ability, including some post game stuff. Due it not really being an explicitly "bad" game, I'm going to hesitantly recommend it, but I do feel for most people there are better products worth spending money on if you're looking to get your murder mystery VN fix (The various Ace Attorney collections, Zero Escape: The Nonary Games (honestly just for 999), hell even Ghost Trick if you count that.)
