Jae Lee writes: Having handled the reviews for both Danganronpa 1 & 2, which both scored an excellent 9 out of 10, it’s plain as day that I’m a big fan of the series at this point.
However, when Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls was first announced to be a third person shooter, I was equal parts surprised and concerned at what this could mean for the series as a whole.
After all, the Danganronpa series made its name as some of the best stories in gaming using a visual novel format, just how exactly would that storytelling translate to a completely different genre?
Having spent the night out in the town with Komaru and Toko, busting up Monokumas and bringing hope to the denizens of Towa City, I can safely say that it translates quite well.
Kinglink says "We return once again to the land of Danganronpa. I’ve already covered the original Danganronpa and Danganronpa 2 which left two more games for me to cover. This time around we are looking at a title originally launched on the Vita, Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Thanks to some solid late-in-life Japanese support, and a sea of backwards-compatible games, the Vita’s library of third-person shooters is a lot better than it first appears, covering a variety of sub-genres from horror to stealth to tactical, all the while providing games that are a tonne of fun to play."
Missed so many games.
Also backwards compatibility differs from region to region.
Literally some stores like the NZ/Aus store will allow syphon Filter 1 and 3 but not 2 and the USA store is different again
I haven't done it in a while so unsure if it has changed, but you used to be able to download any PS1 or PSP game to a PS3 and then transfer it to the Vita and it just worked - regardless of whether it showed as something you could buy in store for, or download directly to, the Vita. It opened up a huge library of back-compat titles that way.
The 2018 Steam Summer sale starts today and you can save big on your favorite Spike Chunsoft titles, including the Danganronpa, Zero Escape and Steins;Gate franchises.
