Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc

peak

This game is an absolute blast. For being a 10 year old game I think it still holds up surprisingly well, probably due to the recognizable art style and amazing vocal cast. Yes, some of the jokes do not land nowadays but if you can look past that and lean into the campy dialogue, deaths, and characters you are actually in for a decently thoughtful game about what it means to have your destiny written for you and how your outlook on life can dictate even the smallest things around you. For the first entry in the series it is a great introduction to the franchise as a whole. Class trial dialogue can be decently repetitive and you often times have to explain parts of the case that characters were already there to witness which breaks immersion a little bit, but overall it is a fun story with a good premise. The side content is also decently strong. island mode is a welcome edition to fill out unfinished report cards, but the dating simulator portion can be very drawn out and monotonous, it took me 6 playthroughs to finish completely. For the achievement hunters out there, this game is not that difficult. The only achievements that really stand out are "School's Out Forever" because of the dating loop grind, and "Rogue's Gallery" as you need to farm class trials for coins. Thankfully, you can use the class trial farming for other achievements lie "You Must Acquit" "Tuned to a Dead Channel" etc. Overall solid game that had lots of room to build off of, if you get it on sale this game can absolutely be worth your time if you like the premise. 7/10

This game is a masterpeice!
