    The thing about Danganronpa S is that as I play, I can think of how it could be better. Giving a player all N-rank cards at the start would have been nice. Especially since there are four variants of each character and nine Hype Card upgrades for each of them. Not to mention 30 presents are there. It’d mean you’d be able to build people you like immediately. Even if they wouldn’t be great. Also, given that people are paying $20 for this, the gacha rates shouldn’t be so terrible. Rather than play Danganronpa S, I’d suggest people get Danganronpa V3 and play through its minigames (and review its story) again. Given it’s $29.99, compared to Danganronpa S’s $19.99, it is worth it. As is, I can’t help but feel like this should have been a free-to-play game.

    As much as I’ve always liked the Danganronpa series, I can’t imagine wanting to sink endless amounts of time or money into such an empty, boring game. And given we’re talking about a series for which the word “boring” should never apply, that should tell you how much of a failure this game is.

    Unless you're a Danganronpa fanatic, I wouldn't recommend buying this game.

It's an expansion on the board game in V3's 'post game' so if you didn't like that, you're not going to like this either. it is effectively a $20 gacha game, and it gets bored within the first time playing. I couldn't imagine doing the 50 turn game over and over, where twice was already enough to drain my will to play the game any longer. Which also includes in game purchases to do the gacha which unlocks you new characters. You start out with five and it takes ages to get anymore without giving up your money. The game seems rushed too. Go look at the Hiyoko sprites, her kimono compared to her swimsuit. The bows are shaded wrong. And then look at Nagito, his skin is a completely different colour. And finally Genocide Jack. On the right of one of her sprites, there is a black dot, which to me shows how lazy the developers were when making this. Only buy this game independently if you want character interactions or can stand these lazy RPGs, cause I could not, and I doubt many other people can.… Full Review »
