how did 38.1% of people finish chapter five, and then only 37.2% finish the whole game. what happened to the other 0.9% that quit before the end of chapter 6. did they die???? i mean, you might have to die because the game is so compelling at this point that i finished it in one sitting, from chapters 4-6.
Awesome game with plot-twists and a long good story, I was so curious when I was playing. Who is the mastermind? Who killed who? All of that made me want to keep playing until I was tired. The only real problem I have with this game is that theres absolutely no replayability and you kinda get left with a cliffhanger at the end, still a 10/10!
makoto! its standing up!
muy weno
I really love this game and the games get better throught out.
PEAK trilogy with this game maybe being the best of the first three ive yet to play V3 tho
This game is a classic for a reason. I first played it back in 2016 after watching the anime a few years prior. The anime is fine, but playing the actual game and seeing the story and characters in their original forms is much better. There are some elements that are dated (the weird 're-act' mechanic, the movement feeling weird as you walk around the school, etc) but the storyline, characters, and mysteries are just as iconic as always. Danganronpa is a unique setting of ridiculous characters and funky worldbuilding dialed up to the max. Stylistic with great music and dialogue, the class trials in particular are a shining aspect of the series. This first game sets it all up. It's absolutely special. There's some anime-isms but even if you're only barely into anime, you probably know them all already. Really fun to play with friends and to watch people's reactions to it the first time. Most of the content is visual novel style storytelling, with some free time events where you can pick what character to hang out with and explore around the school. Then after a murder there are the investigations and the trials, which are full of puzzles to solve as you figure out what happened.
good game, if youve never played a visual novel start with this one! itll make the others look bad in comparison lol (also [spoiler]i find it really funny how after chapter 2 toko goes from being an interesting character to GENUINELY making me wanna shut off my pc[/spoiler] lmao)
Truly one of the most unique experiences I've had in a long while. Glory to the Celestia nation.
