Ultimately, everything about Danganronpa is highly elevated: the story’s stakes, the characters’ tropes, and even the unique factors of its gameplay. While these sometimes won’t stick their landing, such as some rather exaggerated character stereotypes, the game’s foundation is very strong. It’s no surprise that Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Anniversary Edition is joined by three other titles, because the sacrifices made for this first entry in the series pave the way for improvements down the line while remaining an unforgettable experience in its own right.
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc offers a memorable Killing Game with fantastic, iconic characters, a genuinely funny and smart script, and some superior twists and turns along the way with well-earned emotional hooks and at times shocking violence. It's funny, it's dramatic and it's very problematic, so exercise some caution — this is resolutely not a game for kids, but even adults will struggle with some of its less savoury or more overtly brash, thoughtless content. It's not enough to mark the game down in any way, but readers should be aware that this is not a tactful piece of software, which for some will ward them away but we suspect for others is a major selling point. We urge you to check the game out for yourself, as it is, quite frankly, a classic in the visual novel genre.

I did not expect to like this game as much as I did however I am so glad I played it. The story feels engaging with each obstacle becoming more shocking at each reveal, all characters were entertaining and a blast to interact with. the mysteries of each murder were as fun as they were emotional. While still loving this game I believe its the weakest in the trilogy however it will still hold a special place in my heart

The story was really engaging and it kept my interest throghout, which only a few games have accomplished
The gameplay was surprisingly fun, especially the class trials and their short minigames
There were a few small gameplay issues, like the occational framedrops when walking around, going into certain locations and such
The music was some of the best i have heard in a video game
Yes even rivaling Sonic music which you all know i'm very passionate about
So yeah, overall a good 9/10
Would dangan again

While none of the problems are significant enough to truly prevent someone from enjoying this game, the fact that such fundamental problems from a previous version have not been addressed makes it difficult to justify this version over any others. I think it’s worth seeking out and trying Danganronpa for yourself, but I can’t recommend doing so by playing a port of the mobile version running poorly on Switch.
It's a weird one. Incredibly annoying cringe characters that would usually make me switch off. Some hit box issues in the trials and some time wasting things to investigate. However if you can look past its ridiculousness then you will find a completely thrilling murder mystery.
Don't misinterpret 7 as a mediocre score. It just wouldn't make sense to rank this up with games I rate 8, 9, or 10.
I thoroughly enjoyed this game and if it was more polished, I would have scored it 8. It's cleverly done and just one major plot hole near the end but it didn't affect my enjoyment and there's so much goes on it would be near impossible to not accidentally leave a plot hole.
It really is a crazy story with plenty to think about and I really binged it.

When Makoto wins a raffle to attend an elite academy he meets up with the other newly picked Ultimate students, but on their first day they find themselves held captive by a remote-controlled bear named Monokuma.
Dangonronpa is essentially a visual novel, one which initially drew me in with it’s dark plot and interesting cast of characters. As with many games in this genre however it soon becomes apparent that your actions have no influence on how events play out, and so you’re essentially left to just click through conversations for the majority of the games running time. The mini-games that make up the ‘trials’ do break this up a little, but about half-way through I felt that I may as well watch the anime that’ll tell the same story in a fraction of this games twenty-five hour run time.
