FUN: This game may have a lot of reading to it, but it's very addicting. If you like Phoenix Wright games as well as Visual Novels, you will love this. It also has a bit of a Persona feel to it due to the social aspect part. FUN - 2.
REPLAY: This game is kind of the same way as Phoenix Wright with a slight twist. The Main Story is mostly story based, however, it's the only way to get Monokuma Coins. As well as the Side-Game "Island Mode" (This game's School Mode) the Mode that you Unlock after you beat the main story (as well as Magical Miracle Girl Monomi), everything has New Game + . With that feature, you can complete and level everything you couldn't complete during your first playthrough. This New Game + feature is perfect for any completist. Only downside... not much of the story changes. REPLAY - 1.5.
STORY: I can't go in much details do to plently of Spoilers if I did. But the basics is that You play as Hajime Hinata, a High School Student who entered Hope's Peak Academy and later found himself on a school trip on an island. Their Teacher, a rabbit by the name Usami, told them to have fun and collect Hope Fragments by being "love-love" to each other. Everything was going great, until a strange black and white bear named, Monokuma, arrived & forced the 16 Students to play the Killing Game. With one basic rule, Murder someone and not be caught. The reward, to Graduate and get off the Island. STORY - 2.
ORIGINAL/DIFFERENCES: This game is the Sequel to Danganronpa: Happy Trigger Havoc, so there are a lot of things in gameplay that's the same. However, there are plenty of things that are Different as well. 1st things 1st, the Report Cards. You need to collect Hope Fragments and you can easily see how much more you need to befriend the person before you complete their Report Card (unlike the 1st game where you had to keep checking for the Gold Star to appear to let you know). On top of that, the Main Protag's movements. They are side to side instead of 1st person view. They is two new Side-Games added, Magical Miracle Girl Monomi & a Visual Novel titled IF (as well as Island Mode which is School Mode from the 1st game). They also added/changed a few of the mini-games within the Class Trials. Another change is the Monokuma Vending Machine that allows you to pick your gifts instead of just relying on the MonoMono Yachine, a Random Gift Machine (There is still one in the game. It's the only way to get all the gifts). During each Main Story Chapters, their are Monokuma Figures that you can find & collect for Monokuma Coins and Trophies. The last new thing is Pets, which when fully grown gives you Gifts and Monocoins aka Monokuma Coins (which makes it the only other way to get those coins besides the main story). ORIGINAL/DIFFERENCES - 2.
DIFFICULTY: This game has 3 different Difficulty Settings; Gentle, Normal, & Hard. In Gentle, Some parts of the Class Trials (the Court Room part), like White Noises & Ammo Reload (Truth Bullets and Silencer to name a few), is taken away. It makes it perfect for someone who just want to experience the story. You can still get Game Overs if you lose all you health, making Gentle very Balanced to Newbies. Normal setting is also balanced for people who either played the game already and want a little challenge or people who want more gameplay than basic story. DIFFICULTY - 2.
TOTAL - 9.5.
There you have it! Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair! I highly Recommend playing Danganronpa: Happy Trigger Havoc before playing this game due to parts of this game is from the 1st. It would be very confusing as well as Spoilers a plenty. Be sure to keep checking in for more reviews! Until next time!
