    Trigger Happy Havoc is an unsettling journey, an absorbing moral dilemma and a brilliant, tangled criminal story. [05/2016, p.60]

    Don’t be turned away by its linearity, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is one of the best visual novels you’ll play.

    A brilliantly funny, disturbing, and entertaining visual novel, but the lack of interaction won't appeal to everyone.

    Don’t let the name or presentation put you off: this is an impressive piece of interactive storytelling that gets more right than most other games with 10 times its budget.

    Successful detective novel has finally found its way to PC from the handheld zone and any enthusiasts of well-narrated stories shouldn´t definitely miss it.

    If you're keen for one of the suspenseful thrillers manageable with just images and text, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc comes highly recommended.

    Danganronpa may not score highly with its excessive menagerie of gameplay mechanics, but if you’re morbidly curious and want to indulge your darker side, this unique visual novel adventure gets a solid passing grade.

    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,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. The plot twists are great too with a pretty unforgettable story and cast. And I'm not even a fan of anime but this game may have helped convert me.… Expand

    I went into this game, pretty spoiler heavy, but was not expecting this type of game, Danganronpa THH honestly surprised me, The mainI went into this game, pretty spoiler heavy, but was not expecting this type of game, Danganronpa THH honestly surprised me, The main gimmick, being your stuck in the high school as your friends collapse dead is a cool concept for a visual novel, let alone a whole detective game. Most of the plot twists were completely unexpected, and the villain is the most **** up, funniest, and mentally insane villa there is.

    Personally, I feel there is around one or two weak points:
    You feel like you are trapped, and just waiting for something to happen. I was honestly sleeping to skip free time events.
    After the first couple of trials, it gets repetitive without anything
    Other than that, I rank this a solid 9/10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A great concept but in my opinion the weakest game in the series the ending is probably the least hard hitting and the gameplay in the trials is more boring than in the other games, in the case where celestial kills hifumi and taka I believe it is plainly obvious that it is her the reason this is so bad is the way she acts plus the fact that throughout the game she is built up to be the “greatest liar” and that she could fool anyone. However it’s still a strong game and very fun to play due to the unique and fun gameplay… Expand

    I'm not a fan of Visual Novels but Danganronpa was surprisingly good.
    I've beaten the main story in around 25 hours in a 3 days time frame.    I'm not a fan of Visual Novels but Danganronpa was surprisingly good.
    I've beaten the main story in around 25 hours in a 3 days time frame.

    The gameplay is quite repetetive. Talk to people, click objects and then complete "minigames" during the class trials.
    But the story is quite intriguing and the cases are well put together and it's quite fun to get the solution right.

    Play it if you think you can bear (pun intentended) having to read A LOT between gameplay segments and if you like misteries/detective stories.    … Expand
