Danganronpa 1-2 Reload
The original Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc took the highs and lows of living as a high school student, punctuated by bouts of murder mysteries, and spun what could have been a pedestrian tale into a colorful, bizarre adventure that’s since captured the hearts of eager new fans. Its sequel, Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, flipped the script and took things in an entirely different direction, trapping characters on a deserted island and pulling plenty of new tricks. Danganronpa 1-2 Reload brings both games together for a convenient way to get started on the Danganronpa bandwagon.
Danganronpa is an accomplished amalgam of storytelling, character interaction and deduction. It’s got an involving (if silly at times) plot to ensure you’re ensnared from the very beginning, several types of minigame-like play to make such ideas as “trials” and “evidence-gathering” instances players want to engage in, and a certain level of macabre attitude that isn’t afraid to show its true colors.
There are several other installments in the series as a whole that you can move on to when finished with these two games, but you’ve got to get your start somewhere. So if you want to get in a different kind of trouble as a high school delinquent, Danganronpa 1-2 Reload is your best bet when it comes to the series on PlayStation 4.
