Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls
2014 video game
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls is an action-adventure and third-person shooter video game developed by Spike Chunsoft. It is a spin-off in the Danganronpa series, set in between the events of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. The game was originally published by Spike Chunsoft for the PlayStation Vita in Japan on September 25, 2014, and internationally by NIS America in September 2015. Ports for the PlayStation 4 and Windows were released in June 2017.
Although different in gameplay to its murder mystery visual novel predecessors, Ultra Despair Girls retains the series' visual style and focus on narrative. The player controls Komaru Naegi—the younger sister of the first game's protagonist, Makoto Naegi—and Toko Fukawa, a returning character with dissociative identity disorder. Komaru is forced to participate in a death game within a city overtaken by murderous bear robots called Monokumas, and teams up with Toko to escape. Behind the Monokumas are the Warriors of Hope, a group of abused children who intend to massacre all adults and construct a safe haven for kids. In combat sections, the player uses a megaphone gun as Komaru to fight the robots; as Toko, they control her serial killer personality Genocide Jack, who fights using pairs of scissors. Other sections feature visual novel, puzzle, and stealth game elements.
