Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
While some problems that weren't present in the Vita version have made their way into Danganronpa on PC, everything that makes the game great is still intact on the platform.
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is a wonderful fusion of the text-heavy visual novel genre with Phoenix Wright-like murder investigations and trials. Its quirky humor – made all the better by excellent writing and interesting characters – is constantly unsettled by the seriousness of the plot, making for a unique adventure that Vita gamers owe it to themselves to experience.
If you’re keen for one of the suspenseful thrillers manageable with just images and text, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc comes highly recommended. The story stands alongside any mystery film or novel, and the writing lets you understand and even befriend the characters before you’re forced to see them pushed to their psychological limit.
A solid Manga art-style permeates the entire games and never really gets old despite visiting the same locations and characters over and over. The background music also helps to the sell the package, matching the game’s fluctuating sense of atmosphere. The only downside is the absence of full voiceovers though, given the amount of dialogue on show, it’s not surprising that the localisation team kept it to just the class trials.
