    Overall, Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony is yet another excellent installment in the franchise, delivering up another set of grisly murders and the well-crafted conundrums and kangaroo courts that result from them while still keeping a focus on black humor and twisted school life. While it does suffer from a few bad apples in the cast and one of the most “WTF” finales in recent video game history, the gameplay has received enough of the right changes that it needs to make things more balanced and allow for some intense count sessions while still keeping you hooked on where all of this insanity is going yet again. One has to wonder where the series will possibly go from this, but for now, Monokuma has indeed gifted us with one more killing game that’s worth checking out.

    Ultimately, Danganronpa V3 doesn’t add too much new to the series. But that’s okay – it doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel when the wheel we already have still rolls out eclectic characters and shocking moments so reliably. It’s a great rollercoaster of hope and despair with a climax that made me sit back and think about everything that just happened. The road to the end of Danganronpa V3 is long and twisted, but the ride is well worth it.

    Danganronpa V3 is not without its flaws. Class trials don’t always pan out and pacing gets in the way at times, but this is still the same Danganronpa fans have grown to love over the years. The wonderful cast of characters and immersive plot coupled with a plethora of endgame options makes this a must-play game for fans and newcomers alike.

    Newcomers need not apply, but fans of the Danganronpa series are in for a treat, as the story and characters are among the best we’ve seen, while the gameplay introduces just enough tweaks to keep things interesting.

    A duty for all lovers of detective mysteries and other puzzle games. Unfortunately, you need quick reflexes and the ability to survive before something interesting happens. [Issue#288]

    Danganronpa V3 is the 3th game of the danganronpa series (withou including despair girls which is a shooter), danganronpa v3 like itsDanganronpa V3 is the 3th game of the danganronpa series (withou including despair girls which is a shooter), danganronpa v3 like its predecesors is a game where u solve cases of murder by recollecting evidence and finding the culprit on a debate with the other characters, u do this by pointing out contradiction, agreeing with people and sending the converseation to where u think it would lead u to the truth, the game mechanic is that when you make an argument u shoot your clues to the other argument and prove its wrong, the same with the other options u can do in the game, there is also other minigames you would find when u need to find an answear "outside the box". there is not allot of action in the gameplay section other than what i just explain, you move around, talk to people and thats preety much it, it IS a visual novel.

    the story and the characters are like always GREAT, danganronpa v3 has an amazing story and amazing characters, i must say that the characters in V3 are by far my favorite from any other danganronpa game, without spoling too much i can say that the dialogue and conversetion this character has is so enjoyable and geting all the special events has such an amazing reward since just seeing them talk its just great.

    the game has some extra minigames like "salmon" which is basically the chance for you to talk and have fun with all the characters, if you like to have a game in 100% completion this is not gonna be boring in fact you are probably gonna enjoy getting it. there are other games who are hard to understand but at the begginig but you get the hang of it, there is a board game in which you pick a character that u want and make him grow stronger this also has some funny interaction on pixel forma and some talk interaction between characters from different games, this is extra and even so the interactions are so great u can tell the developers put allot of hearth into the game

    BUT why am i puting an 8 then? well the game has some flaws
    first when it comes to details like music and colors the game comes a bit short in comparison to the other games, now this wouldnt be a problem if it didnt happen in some of the most important part of the games, i just dont feel the same pressure and exitment i felt on the other games... for example on danganronpa 2 when someone argue against you, the characters pop off, it has a red background, the music was loud and the characters were screaming at you too... IT FELT LIKE A REAL DEBATE! but in v3... its too quiet... the music is a paino who tries to be loud and epic just fails and the background change from red to yellow, i know it was used so it shine in comparison of the other colors but it still suck.

    now this is just one little detail, the rest of the music like the taxi drive is regular and the scrum debate is actually really good.

    another problem is the trials...
    now dont get me wrong, the majority of the trials are great but 2 in particular are just... too obvious? by that i dont meant that u know exactly what, how and why something happened but u at least know 2 of this questions, i dont want to spoil too much so im gonna say it really vague but if you dont wanna risk it dont read it.

    one case its so pinfully obvious what happen if you are part of a certain demographic which majority of people who play this game are and in other case its just... lets just say they could have make the greates plot twist even and they throw it away

    i cant be too detailed since i dont want to be spoilerish but in conclsuion i give this game an 8
    good story, good gamplay, good characters, not very good trials, and not very good in setting the mood.

    SPOILER!!!! of what cases i am talking about

    i am talkin about case 4 of the virtual world.. the game talks about terms like teleportation, and invicibles wall like they are new to us... we play videogames we know what they are, and since you know this it doesnt take too long on how someone move from one place to another, also the fake map was already a thing in danganronpa 2 the funhouse

    the other case is the 3th, they created a new rule, a rule that protects the blackened... DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE POTENTIAL?! imagine having a killer, someone that hurt your friend in the group, thats even worse than komaeda but NOOOOOOOO they have to repeat the same stuff and kill him, what a waste of an opportunity...

    Great and exciting story game, probably one of it's kind. Still, the story ended up rather weak compared to its prequels.

    The strongest game in the series in terms of gameplay and visual design, the weakest in terms of overarching narrative. Danganronpa V3 is veryThe strongest game in the series in terms of gameplay and visual design, the weakest in terms of overarching narrative. Danganronpa V3 is very much 'New Danganronpa' (as its Japanese title suggests) - don't go into this expecting links to any of the previous games. The ending is quite possibly the worst written ending of any game I've ever played, but the narrative and characters leading up to the final trial were enjoyable. The game falls off hard after trial 5, even more so than the previous games. Expand
