    Danganronpa S is a fanservice game first and foremost. If you aren't a fan of danganronpa, and you aren't pining for interactions between its casts of characters, there isn't a ton here for you. If you are, then it is great. You have characters from all 4 danganronpa games. The gameplay loop is essentially: you select a character you own and go through a board game mode to level up aDanganronpa S is a fanservice game first and foremost. If you aren't a fan of danganronpa, and you aren't pining for interactions between its casts of characters, there isn't a ton here for you. If you are, then it is great. You have characters from all 4 danganronpa games. The gameplay loop is essentially: you select a character you own and go through a board game mode to level up a character, you will also see some interactions at this time. Then you go through a battle mode. These reward you with coins to get more, higher rarity characters as well as upgrades, which you'll take to level up in the board, which will be more powerful to get further in the battle mode, which gives you more coins, etc.

    The rpg side is alright. As good as it has to be and nothing more. But I am a danganronpa fan, and as such, I am enjoying seeing the interactions, and collecting the characters. It is a grind for sure, but something I don't feel the need to grind nonstop, I can put in a bit of time before bed and just enjoy it for a while.

    The two big downers, even as a fan are:
    1) There is only one board, based on DR2. I get that it fits, given that the Island theme, but for varieties sake, having boards based on DR1 and V3 would add appreciated variety to the board game section.

    2) No Mukuro sprites. Incredibly disappointing. Given the premise of the game, it makes no sense that she appears in disguise. Really puzzling choice.

    Otherwise, I have no issues.    … Expand

    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.

    Danganronpa S Ultimate Summer Camp is a modest spin-off for fans. While it makes sense as a collection addition, it is far less appealing as a stand-alone purchase.

    Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp is a welcome game for those who'd like to see how characters from the franchise would get along if they were trapped together on a tropical island. However, the gameplay is a bit too simplistic so unless you're really into grinding and collecting, you probably won't play it for long before wanting to play something more substantial from the main series.
