![]() The only character from V3 I would put with my favourites in the series is probably the one intentionally sinister character who ends up being the only one who keeps the story moving at all. They pretty much just choose a stereotype, and now that’s the character with no movement towards originality. V3 only gives about four of its characters the same luxury, making the rest of them borderline uninteresting. ![]() It was a great part of what made Makoto Naegi and Hajime Hinata great characters. Each of the characters is suffering amnesia while taking part in the killing game it’s a plot device that has been used in the series since day 1, but in the case of the first game and especially the second game, the characters used their new identities as Ultimates in the killing game to determine who they would be for the rest of their lives. Instead of letting the player grow to enjoy each character, the game chooses to hold the mystery of each character’s past and identity over them to the point where it leaves little room to actually develop them within the story itself. That said, after the game’s second chapter, not only could I tell who was going to die in each case, I honestly did not care. This has always worked in the games’ favour because it makes the character deaths all the more painful when it’s a character you’ve fallen in love with. At their best some of the series’ characters are some of my favourite fictional characters of all time, and at their worst they’re still incredibly charming and easy to enjoy. There they are forced to partake in a brutal killing game where getting away with murder is their only means of escape.ĭanganronpa’s greatest strength has always been its character writing. 16 gifted (or ‘ultimate’) high school students are kidnapped by a robot bear named Monokuma and trapped inside Hope’s Peak Academy for Gifted Juveniles. Danganronpa V3 is the most disappointed I’ve been with a video game in a long time.įans of the series will be used to V3’s approach to plot. I discussed this, along with my early impressions of the opening chapter of Danganronpa V3, in a preview I posted earlier this year, and unfortunately, my worries for the game were realised in the final release. A third entry in the Danganronpa series was never going to be an easy task for series creator Kazutaka Kodaka, yet by the end of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, the sky was the limit for the future of the series, so the decision to advertise Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony as taking part in a whole new universe was confusing to say the least, especially after the incredibly disappointing Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope’s Peak High School anime which brought the first two games’ characters to an incredibly disappointing conclusion.
