Nov 2, 2015Not quite at 999 or VLR's level, but it is good and different enough from Zero Escape series that can hold its own as a visual novel. I enjoyed the story and characters a lot, the game play is quite simple but entertaining. The premise however felt quite cheesy?

Feb 13, 2014A graphic novel with innovative interactive touches and light rgp elements. More than a game: Daganropa is an artistitic interactive experience. If you re into these sort of stuff you must try out

Feb 12, 2014The most unique adventure you'll probably experience, a battle between Hope and Despair like no other, once you start playing it'll be tough to stop. Definitely. one of the Vita's best games!

May 25, 2015Pros:
Story
Characters
Music
Cons:
Difficulty can sometimes be a bit high, having to check online for the correct selection is kind of lame
Having to look online to figure out how to optimize free time is also lame, I would suggest playing without checking online first for a more immersive experience
Playing the end game mini game many times for achievements can be a bit tedious -
Jun 25, 2016Good:

Dec 9, 2016LOVE this game. The only thing better is Danganronpa 2, and you need to play this first to appreciate that. Great characters, brilliant story. Just get it, and avoid spoilers at all costs.

Feb 27, 2014It's basically a mix between ace attorney, zero escape(999 and VLR) and persona-ish. It's really good, probably the best Vita game around so far. So hyped for the sequel coming in September !

Jun 6, 2020Couldn't bring myself to finish the game. The characters are abit one note and the mystery by the end is too devoid of logic.

Mar 23, 2020An ambitious game with a great story, unique art style, and excellent music. While it is a little unbalanced with here being much more visual novel than video game and some of the puzzles are not great, it is still a must have for any vita owners. If you enjoy visual novels or ace attorney style puzzle this is what you want.

May 3, 2020While the plot and characters are great, many of the puzzles are word puzzles that didn’t translate well from Japanese.

Playstation Official Magazine UKMay 23, 2014This is a very dark story, but it's told with colourful verve and a keen wit. [June 2014, p.85]

Apr 15, 2014Danganronpa is not a proper game: is an interactive novel. Still, its captivating atmosphere won't let you go until you'll reach the end.

Hyper MagazineApr 9, 2014It has enough depth and twisted charisma to make it worth your time. [May 2014, p.70]
