DanganRonpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is a game that wears its influences on its sleeve. With an art style inspired by Persona, gameplay elements borrowed from Ace Attorney, and a story reminiscent of Zero Escape, DanganRonpa is a quality visual novel that can't help but feel a little derivative.
The game begins with your player character, Makoto Naegi, somehow getting accepted into the prestigious Hope's Peak Academy, despite being completely average in every way. Students of Hope's Peak are said to be the best of the best at what they do, be it computer programming, writing, or even gambling. Makoto is simply known as the Ultimate Lucky Student, for literally winning a spot at the school in a contest in which he didn't even know he was an entrant.
Staff review by Rhody Tobin (February 10, 2014)
Rhody likes to press the keys on his keyboard. Sometimes the resulting letters form strings of words that kind of make sense when you think about them for a moment. Most times they're just random gibberish that should be ignored. Ball-peen wobble glurk. |
