Topic: Danganronpa

World’s End Club (the game by the same people as Danganronpa and Zero Escape) got a new trailer and a release date in the Nintendo direct today. Thought I would let y’all know since you might be interested

World's End Club could be excellent, but I have my doubts. The road trip part is my biggest worry. If it was just another brutal murder game from the Danganronpa and Zero Escape directors, then I would be super hyped right now.

But it seems that the murder game aspect is just a fake out leading to a more friendly road trip, according to the trailer. Or is that a double bluff? I'm horribly confused by this game.

I don't need murder games. Something dense with narrative and character like AI: The Somnium Files would be cool as well. But this just looks like a crappy platformer. It's like asking for Pikmin 4 and getting Hey Pikmin instead. That's what that trailer made me feel like.

If it reviews well, I'll probably get it, but I'm not convinced it's going to be a hugely memorable experience.

World's End Club sadly didn't really do anything for me either. No idea if that trailer was supposed to misdirect everyone or anything but... Yeah I'm not convinced by what was shown either unfortunately.

I quite liked the trailer to be honest, I liked the bait and switch with the concept, where it’s about what happens after the murder game. Devs can get sucked into doing the same thing over and over so it’s nice to see them trying something new.

It's on Apple Arcade, and I've got a trial to use up so will play it on my iPad.

@mookysam I didn’t realise it was on Apple Arcade. Honestly, the pedigree is so good coming from the Zero Escape and Danganronpa creators that I’d give it a go just based on that.

@nessisonett The pedigree is solid, so it will be interesting to see how it plays and what the story is like. There doesn't seem to be too much on Apple Arcade, although I did notice Little Orpheus and The Pathless so will play them too if there's enough time.

I also am hyped for this game. It could be great - a new series of games. My fingers are crossed.

If anyone wants something like Danganronpa to play, go check out Your Turn To Die. It's very similat to Danganronpa and has an excellent group of characters. You can check it out here. It's free. https://vgperson.com/games/yourturntodie/

@Blooper987 Thanks for the link. At first it looks like a generic flash game, but it quickly gets good. I'm really enjoying it, so will have to play again another day.

So far I've made it past the initial sequence, and the first trial. I figured out the logical way of guaranteeing everyone's safety in the Russian Roulette game, so everyone who I've seen are still alive and scared.

@crimsontadpoles Awesome! I finished everything that is currently out. The last part of chapter 3 still hasn't released yet, but it shouldn't be too long till they are finished with it. After the first chapter things definitely get much more unique compared to Danganronpa. I actually also just passed it off when it was first recommended to me as some crappy fan game, but I sure am happy I gave it a second chance! The art style definitely starts to grow on you after a little while.

I finally got round to reading Danganronpa If featured in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair today.

... It was decent and I do like the focus on Mekuro & the fleshing out of her relationship with Junko was quite nicely done. Her crush on Makoto was rather cute too.

I realise it was a short story but I did think it ended a bit quickly and brushed over some events rather abruptly. It was a nice enough little read for what it is though.

It's a pity that Danganronpa Zero will likely never be officially localized.

I know I'm like 100 years late to this party but I just finished Danganronpa V3 after playing the first two years ago (and then replaying them prior to this) and I had to immediatelg rush to my local gaming forum to announce how much I hate it.

@johncalmc Oh boy, that’s gonna go down well 😂

@nessisonett Is it generally liked? I'm pretty good at media blackout on stuff I care about so even though it came out ages ago I knew literally nothing about it. Just about to embark on my post-game Google. It's still fresh - credits are still on as I type - but my initial feeling is pretty negative overall.

@johncalmc People seem to rate the third game’s ending as one of the best in all of gaming. I’ve only played the first one though.

@nessisonett Wow. I thought the ending was a total mess. I liked the cast quite a bit but I found most of the mysteries and trials pretty boring and the overall story didn't land for me.

I was quite surprised actually because I had two theories from quite early on about how it would play out and one of them was actually pretty close, whereas I've never been able to predict where the previous games were going.

Oh well. I've still got the first two 😂

@johncalmc It's definitely something of a Marmite game. I loved the ending and found it quite thought provoking. I didn't like the cast quite as much as the other games though.
