    Awesome game if you're a fan of visual novels such as the Ace Attorney series, with which it has quite a few similarities. With visual novels, emphasis has to be placed on the atmosphere, characters and story, not gameplay and this game delivers in that regard.

    Normally I don't like writing a review for a game, however this isn't a normal one. It's like watching both an anime and a crime investigation show on tv at the same time.

    The most well rounded game in the series. No annoying mini games, strong characters, emotional moments, a solid plot and charming dialogue. As someone who generally doesn't care for visual novels or anime, this was a really fun time.

    Uma trilha sonora agradável que sempre marcam o momento.
    É um jogo meio presado por envolver assassinatos, além de ter cenas bem explícitas.

The film turned out to be a hit and a precursor to a new type of gameplay in computer games with the above-mentioned title. The original minecraft mode is considered to be the first game of this type    ,, hunger games", which, however, refers to a completely different novel, nevertheless still drawing its roots from the Japanese work. Few, however, realize that the first game operating on this principle was also the Japanese Visual Novel entitled "Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc" created by Spike Chunsoft in 2010. It tells the story of the so-called "Hope's Peak Academy", an elite high school funded by the Japanese government. To be able to attend this facility, each student must meet 2 requirements: attend high school and be the best in their field. So during the game we can get to know such characters as a ultimate swimmer, ultimate baseball player or a ultimate school idol. The main character, Makoto Naegi, is ... a ultimate school lucky guy, an ordinary student who got into this school as a result of a lottery. Despite his doubts, the hero decides to attend school, but as soon as he crosses its threshold... he loses consciousness. The next scene takes place in a classroom, the windows are boarded up with metal plates and the only exit is through an armored door that can’t be opened. There, the player gets acquainted with other students who are put in the same situation as him. Right after that, the radio is turned on and everyone is called to the gym. There they meet a monokume - mechanical bear who introduces himself as the school's principal and announces that everyone will have to stay in the building until the end of their days. However, if someone wants to escape, there is one way to do it... You have to kill another student in such a way that others cannot discover who did it. If the would-be murderer succeeds, he goes free and everyone else is executed, but if the other students discover the murderer's identity, he is killed and the game continues. The murders, and even more so the executions, are extremely phenomenal and decorated with black humor by Kazutak Kodaka - the director. In addition to the mystery of the crime itself, the main thread is the mystery of the school: why the heroes were imprisoned there, how they can get out of it and most importantly: who is monokuma. The gameplay of each of the 3 parts is divided into 3 segments: freetime, during which you can freely explore the school, talk to other students, build relationships and explore the area, investigation, i.e. the time between the discovery of the body by at least 3 people and the start of the so-called. "Class Trial", and the class trial itself, where, thanks to the collected evidence, you need to accurately identify the perpetrator. Expanding the thought of the class trial: when the player manages to collect all the evidence, an alarm sounds and students are directed to the elevator, which takes them to the underground courtroom there, standing in a circle, they debate among themselves who could have done it, then the gameplay is enriched with basic point and click, a game of hangman, a simple rhythm game where the main character argues with another student, and "The Ending Argument" - a puzzle in comic book character during which the player must sort out the events. As for the very reasons for these killings, it is not just a desire to come to light. During each freetime, the game master gives the students more and more absurd motives for wanting to kill. Each subsequent part offers something different: characters, murders, mini-games and ... endings. The ending of the first and second parts of danganropa goes beyond all the usual thriller patterns. Even though I haven't played Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony yet, I've heard many times that the final plot twist is something that can't be called an ending. And it was because of the ending that the third part divided the players so much.… Expand

    Ce jeu est tout simplement un chef d'oeuvre pourtant si peu connu en France, le scénario est prenant du début à la fin, chaque partie de l'histoire à son importance, les messages cachés prévenant subtilement de la suite de l'histoire auquel on ne se rend compte qu'une fois arrivé rend le tout génial.

    Chaque personnage à un design bien propre à lui ainsi qu'une personnalité à chaque fois très mis en valeur dans le contexte de l'histoire du jeu. Les personnages ayant la chance de survivre connaissent un développement bien souvent très intéressant passant généralement de personnages à l'air cliché lors de la première rencontre, à des personnages qui évoluent à travers l'histoire et qui y prennent tout leurs sens. Cependant, même les personnages décédés arrivent à garder une trace dans l'aventure même après la mort et leur aura reste présente tout du long.

    la DA est plutôt intéressante avec des personnages et des décors en 2D dans un univers en 3D, les OST sont excellentes et les charadesigns propre au jeu qui se démarque tellement des autres designs de personnages style animé qu'on reconnait automatiquement un personnage de cet univers, chaque personnage est très détaillé avec un style reflétant leurs personnalités.

    Hormis le 1er procès légèrement moyen et très peu représentatif du reste, le concept d'enquête/procès est excellent car on ne regarde pas seulement une série avec un enquêteur résolvent des crimes, on enquête réellement et l'histoire n'avance pas tant qu'on ne comprend pas les choses de nous mêmes. tout le jeu est rempli de plot twists incroyables qui s'embellissent encore plus car la plus part du temps il y avait une dizaine d'indice permettant de les prévoir mais rare sont les fois ou cela est évident, ce qui donne l'impression d'avoir la réponse sous notre nez des le début.

    le gameplay n'a rien de particulier pour un visual novel sauf durant les procès ou il faudra réfuter les arguments des autres personnages avec les indices récupérés durant l'enquête comme dans un Ace Attorney sauf que les phrases des autres personnages bougent en temps réel, il faut donc se dépêcher et viser sur le bon argument. Cumulé à cela il y a des mini jeux pas vraiment intéressant qui sont une perte de temps selon moi. A la fin du procès il faut remplir une bande dessinée afin de résumer l'affaire et c'est probablement un des moments les plus satisfaisant du jeu.

    pour finir je me doit de parler de l'antagoniste principal Monokuma, c'est probablement un des meilleurs antagoniste de jeu vidéo que j'ai pu voir, tout dans sa personnalité et son design nous met mal à l'aise, il n'a pas l'air de craindre quoi que ce soit, il use constamment d'ironie et se donne de faux airs sympathiques par moment.

    Je recommande ce jeu à tout ceux voulant vivre une expérience inoubliable et je voudrais remercier la team Mirai pour son patch français car le jeu ne possède pas de traduction officielle.    … Expand

    I'm gonna make it short.
    Played this game on Vita release, so I based my rating out of that. If you like visual-novels, good narration, cool morbid atmospheres and investigations, you might like this game.
    If you have a laptop, definitely take the laptop with you in bed and play this game in the dark with a headset on, and enjoy diving into this twisted ( japanese ) story.
