    With the exception of the thoroughly unnecessary Danganronpa S, the games of the Danganronpa Decadence package are still a great and unforgettable experience. Though they run better on other platforms, they’re just fine on the Switch, and players who can’t or won’t try them elsewhere won’t feel like they’re getting a worse deal. A more concerning wrinkle is that players who want as complete a Danganronpa experience as possible are better served on those other platforms, thanks to the absence of Ultra Despair Girls. As such, using the word “decadence” in the collective title comes across as a bit presumptuous on Spike Chunsoft’s part — a more accurate title might be “Danganronpa Sufficience“.

    This deserved to be a home run, and it’s just an okay way to play some great games. Your mileage will vary based on how much some of this mattered, but if you’re looking to play these in excellent quality I’ll point you in the direction of the PS4 or PC ports. If Nintendo Switch is your console of choice, and you’re desperate to see what you missed a decade ago, you might as well check out the Switch version. Vita copies go for ridiculous prices, and I know maybe two other people who aren’t me that still own that system. I love the Danganronpa games, despite their myriad of flaws and occasional problematic content. These games are important to me, and they were formative for the person I grew into and the content I’ve fallen in love with since. It does not need to continue, as much as it is very likely it might in the coming years now. If it does, I’ll give it an open-minded chance I guess. It just won’t be the same after such a gratifying and perfect conclusion for a series that managed to always ramp up the stakes.

    A good collection of three great games. -1 for including Danganronpa S instead of Ultra Despair Girls.

    Quality stuff. I’ll split this up into multiple stuff.

    D1: entertaining mystery. Creates an eerie atmosphere throughout the game that the others can’t replicate or try to. The chapters aren’t bad but don’t reach the heights of others in the sequels. I probably engaged with the cast most in this one. 8/10

    D2: great follow up. While there is still the overall mystery I was less intrigued in it than D1. I enjoyed this cast in a more superficial way but didn’t want to talk to as many people. The game had far more elaborate and cooler cases. It was enjoyable. 8/10

    DV3: this game makes me feel mixed. It is the best in terms of its visuals and some of its gameplay but its cases feel almost ripped off of D2. The cast was fine but I barely talked to any of them. Still good 8/10

    The other game mode I can’t remember: I don’t know it was not engaging and had characters from a game not in this collection. 1/10

    Overall it’s good. My case came smashed up though. 5/10
