Danganronpa V3 is a hilarious, heartbreaking, thrilling, mysterious, extremely controversial and maaagical~ experience. Being the 'finale' to the entirety of the Danganronpa series, it goes out with an absolute bang. With easily the best cast of the series, some of the most interesting mysteries, plot developments, and easily the best (and most gruesomely violent) executions, it's one heck of a ride.
Following a cast of lovable, sympathetic, goofball misfits who are all thrown into a killing game of 'kill or be killed,' it's up to the heroes, Kaede (the Ultimate Pianist) and Shuichi (the Ultimate Detective) to save the day. Using their deduction skills, this pair'll need to do their very best to prevent the students of the Ultimate Academy where they and their fellow 14 students are trapped, from allowing bloodshed to happen.
The cast is insanely stacked with positively iconic characters. From the main duo of starcrossed lovers, to the jovial and motivating astronaut, the mysterious caregiver, the apathetic mage, a misunderstood misandrist, a vulgar mad inventor, and many more; the cast is one you'll fall in love with - and want to see survive the brutal game of life and death.
Gameplay wise, you'll need to investigate crime scenes, get accounts of what happened from unreliable witnesses, before you'll be sent to a trial, where you'll battle with logic, evidence, and your words to find the truth. V3 has easily the best mini-games in the entire series, and not a single one falls flat. The highlighted mini-game is easily the 'Psyche Taxi' game, where you basically play outrun to answer questions.
Graphically the game looks fantastic, with detailed and unique character art and designs. The combination of 2D and 3D, which goes for both the in-game graphics, and the cinematics, are all great. The executions are also an absolute highlight, being intense cutscenes full of terror and gore, and are all unique.
I played the game in Japanese, and all the voices fit perfectly with each character. They all sounded exactly how you'd think the characters would sound like, and they were all played so darn well. The OST is a fantastic mix of reimagined tracks from the previous games, and lots of new ones. An absolte banger is the case 4 execution track *chef's kiss*.
All in all, while V3 might be one of the most contentious video games of all time, it's personally one of my favorites. Outside of a few minor things (like one of the characters being a bit underwhelming, but still not bad), I have basically no issues with the game. I love everything about it, and cannot recommend it enough!Danganronpa V3 is a hilarious, heartbreaking, thrilling, mysterious, extremely controversial and maaagical~ experience.
