Dangan Ronpa: Academy of Hope and High School Students of Despair
You’ve probably been wondering what the hell this new thing I’ve been into for the last few days is. And most likely, you probably don’t know what it even is. Well don’t worry, I’m here to explain to you the game of my very dreams that is realised into a cartridge on a PSP.
Dangan Ronpa, put simply is, the game 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors meeting Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and also meeting Battle Royale. Now, think about that for a minute, and let your imagination soar, because it’s probably going to be more or less what this game is. Yeah, a mystery where kids kill kids, get stuck in a school of “despair”, as put by the title, and where they have to find who kills who to escape.
Of course, since you’ve never heard of it, it’s probably because it’s in Japanese and you can’t understand moonrunes. Well, that’s okay, because orenronen of the Something Awful Forums is doing a Let’s Play of the game, complete with translations and little notes on Japanese culture just for you. It’s currently incomplete, with 4 and a a bit more than half chapters completed out of 6.
If you’ve ever liked the games I put above, you’ll probably like reading Dangan Ronpa a lot— it’s basically a visual novel with some gameplay elements put into it, and it’s great, as I’ve said, without spoiling anything.
