This entry in particular takes a lot more risks with its class trials, and while I give credit to the writers for changing things up, this doesn’t always work in the game’s favour. The Class Trials have always contained some of the most memorable moments in the series, for better or worse, and V3 is no exception. I enjoyed every moment I spent with them. Aside from the main cast, the Monokubs are a great addition to the story they take what makes Monokuma so funny and only build on the formula with their squabbles. He dreams of becoming a pop star at one point, doesn’t like over-the-top technology, and is a delight to be around.
The standout for me is K1-B0, the Ultimate Robot, who’s just trying to fit in with the rest of his fellow students. These 16 Ultimates are all contrasting in design, manner, and portrayal, and each of them has their own little quirks that make them memorable. Luckily, V3 once again brings us a colourful and zany cast of characters.
The game does take a few chapters to really get going, so all of these extra bonuses helped me bide my time. Like in the second game, Monocoins can be used to purchase gifts for your fellow Ultimates and allow you to build relationships with them. Instead of just clicking on objects and examining things, you can now slap objects away to make exploration easier or just to collect Monocoins. To shake things up a bit, there are new ways you can explore the school. Fans of the series will find the layout comfortable and easily slip back in. The game is structured almost identically to the first two installments, with the action split between School Life and Killing Life, and each chapter culminating in a Class Trial. In V3, I quickly learned to never take anything for granted. It’s a familiar setup, but one not without its twists and turns. Together, they set the rules for yet another killing game - a student can only escape if they murder another student and get away with it, or if they survive the whole killing game. The megalomaniac teddy bear Monokuma returns and brings five children dubbed Monokubs to help out with his evil bidding. V3 starts off with 16 gifted students, known as “Ultimates,” who are imprisoned within The Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles.
This is the first new main game since Goodbye Despair back in 2014, and Spike Chunsoft has taken the time to revise the Danganronpa formula so they can throw their fans for a loop. The anime series Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope’s Peak High School concludes the Hope’s Peak Academy Saga and begins a new arc with new characters and a new school. They presented unforgettable scenarios with a cast of over-the-top characters, and more than anything, they made you feel despair. Danganronpa caused a bit of a stir back when the first two games came out in 2014.
