Avoiding plot and character details since it was released on the PSP, I was eager to play through this. Danganronpa is a wacky murder mystery premise taking placing in a school setting
where all kinds of ultimate prodigies make their debut toward each other.
Monokuma is the “headmaster” of this entrapped establishment, and he is there for comic relief, rebuttals and overseeing the killing game
where the students are motivated by despair and hope to kill each other. Those two counterparts are the central theme playing, and each case additionally centers on specific motives spiraling around them.
Similar in structure
towards Ace Attorney, but very different in execution, the gameplay consists of presenting evidence at the right statements in order to uncover the truth, no matter the outcome. Other game modes include playing hanging gambit’s,
countering the disbelief of students during a rhythm beat and answering multiple choice questions.
You are also able to “absorb” statements in order to use them against other statements during specific arguments
getting debated.
Danganronpa: Trippy Happy Havoc is a trippy odd Japanese visual novel, with a fun cast of different personalities, an iconic mascot in the form of Monokuma and I really liked playing the climax comic game
at the end of each murder case most of all! My favorite characters of the bunch were aside from Monokuma, Byakuya and Aoi.

Easily an improvement, Goodbye Despair is situated on a tropical island archipelago this time, with segments getting even crazier with each chapter. The Non-stop debates have improved and
become tougher at the same time, the cast is rich, stereotypic and entertaining, and the voice casting is splendid.
Danganronpa 2 is a wacky sequel with impressive murder mysteries, and I really liked it, but that final chapter
really went overboard with logic, twists and realities. So the early and middle parts are easily a comfortable ride while like the original game, you might not like the execution of the climax.
My favorite characters of the bunch were aside from Monokuma, Chiaki and Nagito. At this momentum, if this continues, then this series will sit proudly next towards the likes of Ace Attorney and Zero Escape.

I have seen the first anime adaptation based upon this, but I have yet to start on the intriguing follow up to that which seems to be a sequel and a prequel to the series, and of course am I looking even more forward to the third video game title, which is coming out very soon!
