Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls

I finished the game at 100%. See last section for the final conclusions: Very early review of the game. First of all: DONT PLAY THIS GAME BEFORE DANGANRONPA 1 OR SUPER DANGANRONPA 2, because it will sure spoil the story. About the port: For now I have only played the prologue, but the game looks very good and has not any performance issues. You can clearly see how everything in game has been remastered for higher resolutions; the only thing that is a bit lacking are the 3D cutscenes which still seem a bit bad, although in my opinion that is not an issue because they are good enough. I have not tested the keyboard+mouse control, but given that the game is a third-person shooter, it sure will feel better, I migh even change later, although you can use the a controller without any problems. UPDATE: I have been playing with Keyboard+Mouse and I prefer it over controller. The only downsi

Target Audience: Danganronpa/Story Driven Fans, or surprisingly, Puzzle enthusaists Summary: Let me get this out of the way: if you haven't played Danganronpa 1 and 2 at this point: well you should probably do that before you play Ultra Despair Girls. It's not that you can't get anything out of this game if you play it alone: but it's SO much better after playing the first two games. And those two games are fantastic. While Ultra Despair Girls tries to spice things up with a new gameplay style, it's the iconic and fascinating story is the reason that you should pick up the game. The spin off takes the story in a new direction but not only keeps a lot of the themes from the original, but adds a more character relationship driven angle with Toko and Komaru which really REALLY works. The angle with the kids takes the series to new creepy depths, and if you were concerned that the game

Positives: The Story keeps the themes of the original series, but takes them in a new interesting direction with more traditional dystopian/survival elements. They kept the lore in tact without going completely off the rails. This feels like a Danganronpa story. The Star of the show is the relationship and complexity that develops between Toko and Komaru. They play off each other well, and the growth of both characters is fascinating to watch. The world is built on in a lot of good ways, and does a good job of bridging several of the holes in the plot up to this point. Pushes your uncomfortable meter in good ways. Can legimately get under your skin and make you wonder if the villians/heroes are justified. Kudos to the writing. The kids characters. All of them are rather well done. Very clever references to the original game, and makes fans who pay attention really appreciate the tigh

A word of warning going into this game, whether you're a Danganronpa fan or not: a lot of the subject matter in this game is WAY darker compared to the first two Danganronpa games, and is pretty dark to average person. You may be saying "Wait, it gets darker than just straight up cold-blooded murder like in the other games?" Yes it does. It's not a deterrant of the game, just a word of warning so that those who play it know what they're getting into. That being said, it's a really solid game. Great storytelling, great characters, a nice blend of serious, bone-chilling semi-horror and almost 4th-wall breaking silliness. It's absurd It's (somewhat) scary (in a cartoonish kind of way) It's fanservice-y at times It's Danganronpa! Hope to see you aboard Kazutaka Kodaka's Wild Ride!

An incredibly solid third-person shooter / puzzle game filled to the brim with all the things I love about Danganronpa and more. I highly recommend the keyboard + mouse controls, because the mouselook camera is fantastic and makes the game incredibly satisfying. Also, Genocide Jack has no qualms showing off her panties mid-fight, so that's a plus.
