This was probably the darkest game in the series. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's *dark* , but the character development for Komaru and Toko is definitely the best part for me.
Gman darkest? Are you kidding? V3 is way darker than this. Need I remind you that this is the game with constant jabs at Komaru being incredibly well-endowed for a girl her age. Also constant pantyshots
@@zigslotheon Just because v3 had really gory executions, doesn't mean it was darker. Need I remind you that the kids in despair girls all experienced a serious form of abuse, and in some cases the game even SHOWED some of it. Also, there were tons of people, including kids, dying during the whole game. Whereas in v3, the gory moments were just in the executions. Also, Miu is in v3.....so yeah.
@@zigslotheon V3 isn't that dark, it's about as dark as 1 and 2 really. UDG's entire premise centres on a city that's being massacred right in front of you! The massacre is being orchestrated by a ragtag gang of abused children who're playing a murder game to see who can murder the most adults. Not to mention how many notes you find laying around the overworld written by parents who're being hunted down by their own kids and how Komaru, at one point, details what life was like during despair and how seven of her classmates died and her best friend went missing
That feeling when you never died as komaru by getting hit by monokuma. Most of the time i've seen game over is when I died by explosion or falling into void/water, so I basically never seen despair time minigame. And since I never seen it, when it appeared in the final boss is kinda got me off guard, since I never had tutorial showing up for that minigame. Also because of that everytime i've got a skill book that affected despair time i've had literally zero clue what that was
Thanks for covering this game! UDG is my favorite DR game, despite its flaws, and I think it deserves more recognition. The voice acting, sprites, 2D animations, worldbuilding, story, and the dynamic between Komaru and Toko really made this game for me, and it both of their personalities and development hit close to home for me playing this game at a rough time in my life. I really wish we got a UDG2 instead of DR3 to get more interactions between those two!

I'm honestly fine with the shocking edgy moments in the game. Sure, most of them are really fucking horrible and traumatic, but it helps to actually give some great motivation to the villains (the warriors of hope are by far the best written antagonists in DR imo)
it's hard to have a real competition among DR villains cause y'know for 2 of the games the villain is Junko, and for the 3rd one the idea is that the villain is supposed to not have a deep personality
@@lucaspeixoto975 Yeah, but Junko never really stuck out to me as a real villain, more an exposition dump, since she didn't care about being defeated. Monaca on the other hand is charismatic and fucking terrifying, which makes her much better imo
@@Eliagiulio that is true, I was just saying that danganronpa usually doesn't have real villains, you have Junko as the mastermind but she really doesn't act like a villain when you encounter her, more or less like you said, as an exposition dump, so I was just saying that there isn't much to compare Monaca to, even though she is a pretty good villain
Fun fact: All the variations of Monokuma were intended to help society in some way or another (at least that´s what Monaka said to everyone in Towa Group). For example: To maintain order (guard monokuma and siren monokuma as police, destroyer monokuma as task force and bomber monokuma as anti-bomb squad), junk monokuma (to get rid of trash), ball monokuma and beast monokuma (as entertainment) and big bang monokuma to protect the entire city againts major threats. Also, the infamous line that Haiji said was meant to make him look as a superficial guy that only cares about the look of a girl. But that was pretty misinterpreted by many people. Mostly due to translation. And Nagito´s hair color is like that because he is less sick than in current times. His hair also progressively changes color during the DR3 anime. By the way, the collectibles are actually quite important. They give A LOT of information about everything: Towa city, the biggest most awful event in human history, towa group, the kids, Toko and Komaru´s life, the future foundation, etc.
I love UDG a lot, it's so fun to play and was a blast to explore outside in towa city. Very refreshing and Komaru quickly became my fav female character. I also loved the UDHagakure novel to come with it. Seeing returning characters too omygod. I'm crying remembering, so nostalgic. It gets bonus points for Komarus panty scenes 🥰😚😚
Other then the many other reasons to love this game, *it basically confirmed my theory that characters grow an ahoge when they become the protagonist.*
@Andrea De Luca I used to think the same, but looking back on it, since they are in a simulation, Monokuma can just decide to make whatever random result he want. So if we take the moments where Naito got lucky (in DR2, I don't consider DR3 canon because it is garbage imo) : -When he got assigned to cleaning duty : 1 in 15 ? Quite lucky indeed. But he could have just cheated (even though he likes to pretend that he did not, but he does pull a lot of lies throughout the story). -The Russian Roulette : 1 in 8 ? Lucky, but not really that lucky. -The who-threw-the-poison case : That is the most interesting one in my opinion. Because when you think about it, Chiaki being the one throwing the chemical is pretty convenient for Monokuma, so he can just pretend that is what happened. The 30% prediction thing is never really used so it does not really matter. But ghosts are never set up before in the story, and they are used in Danganronpa UDG to deliver an important plot point... that could have easily been delivered in any other way ! So it really was a pointless stuff to make, and it only serves to make a ... joke I guess ? But actually, a sp00ky Danganronpa could be a really interesting idea, if it is set up correctly. If we keep going with the running gag that "IT'S ALWAYS JUNKO !" , then the fact that Junko Enoshima' spirit is the one behind a killing game could be a really funny plot twist, with the right setup and context.
Bruh, you could read a dishwasher manual and still make it interesting I literally know nothing about Danganronpa and I still watched this and was like 🤔😯
@@demosthenes995 Honestly, all of the games have their own charm. Imo, THH had the most realistic cast and the best character interactions, and what made it great was how "real" it felt when compared to all of the other games. The motives were more personal - things that gave the students reasons to actually want to leave the school - rather than just... random ultimatums. Meanwhile, DR2 had better plot twists and a stronger and more diverse cast, with characters that were easier to get attached to. Its trials were also a major step up from the ones in THH. V3 had a strong cast, and the character interactions were a step up from DR2's (but not as good as THH's, imo), with things like cliques existing and whatnot. It's trials were pretty heartbreaking, and it's executions were some of the most brutal in the series. So yeah. All of the games are pretty great, and I can't choose between them--
@@celty_6835 The reason I dont like THH is because I just really dont like Makoto. Everything about him annoys me. The character interactions are pretty good, but I'm not a big fan of the characters themselves. Hifumi? Annoying. Hagakure? Annoying. Toko? Annoying. I cant really explain why I felt that way, it's just how it is. I have two more reasons why I this way. THH has only 4 murder trials while the other two have 5. Danganronpa 1 also is an enclosed environment. I understand the intent to make the atmosphere claustrophobic, but it bothered me in a way that V3 and especially DR2 didnt. I will give you your point about motives however. I think THH handled the idea best. As in the other two, it feels more forced instead of "This gave me a reason to *want* to kill "
@@demosthenes995 I guess I can understand your point about Makoto. I don't see much of the "annoying" part being thrown around, but I know that for a lot of people, he was one of the blandest protags. I can understand not liking some of the other characters, too. It took a while for them to grow on me. I thought Toko was annoying before UDG (hell, I'm pretty sure everyone did), and I hated how useless Hagakure was. But looking back on the events of the game, I can't imagine it being the same without them, as they both added a sense of humor, or even annoyance that alleviated the tense atmosphere. But I guess that's just coming from the fact that I've grown pretty partial to all of the DR cast, with the exception of Maki. Imo, the fact that THH only had four murder trials was something that helped flesh out the characters. There was more time to focus on plot and the growth or conflict between the remaining cast since no one was getting killed off for the later half of the game. I'm curious, how'd the atmosphere bother you? (I'm not over here trying to defend THH like it's my favorite game of the series - like I said, I don't have one - but I'm always up for a discussion about it!)
Can we talk about the convenience of the same actress that plays Komaru Naegi [Makoto's sister] played Makoto Nijima in Persona 5? It's like the name Makoto just fits her voice whether she plays a relative of that name or is that name herself. On the other hand, Cherami Leigh is such a good voice actress. It's proved by her roles in both these great games.
This game was great and probably my favorite Danganronpa game, even if it's a spinoff completely different from the visual novels. I didn't thought the story was that shocking but it did get me some "WOAH hey now o_O... alright then" moments, either way it was enjoyable from start to finish. Also thanks for the Autolock tip, there were times where my camera went bonkers and I did not know it was due to that skill LOL
Fun fact about my experience I watched a play through of this game this was my first exposure to the series so when I played danganrompa 1 I knew some of the pepole that survived and when I played danganrompa 2 I knew future foundation werent the bad guys so I found out the truth sooner
I will say, while a lot of people criticize the pink-haired girl's story, it's... painfully realistic. Child actors are and continue to be sexually exploited and abused. The latest, public and blatent example being Cuties.
Is it weird that one random day after i got into this channel, i woke up to this video and saw a random clip of it, and thats how i got into danganronpa? And similar to how i got into AI somnoium, you be giving me all my favs Ramzaes
Honestly, going in I thought this would be pretty bland, just some boring shooter game but it was actually really good! The best part was probably Komaru and Toko's relationship but even the gameplay (which looks boring in almost every video you see) was really fun. Although it was pretty easy though, I gotta admit that. Especially the bosses, they take like 3 attacks from Genocide Jack and drop ded. It felt so weird but at the same time refreshing how different this game is to the other DR games, especially if you play it right after marathoning the first 2 games. Overall I agree that is a must-have (or must-play I guess) for fans of DR! It's fast pace and a bit short in my opinion (I took 15 hours) but it also feels complete and I think adding more content would've harmed more than done good to it. ChEeSe!
Snakedude4life actually the going to space thing is from the dr3 anime, in the game the ending is Monaca gets defeated and Komaru decides to stay in the city, or something
Don't worry, I didn't play the series until V3 since I didn't own a Vita and V3 came out on PS4. Plus I watched NicoB's LP on DR1 just out of curiosity, saw he was doing 2 right after I finished watching DR1, and then just joined the ride for Ultra Despair Girls.
I played it in between 1 & 2. After then playing 2 I found it did spoil a few things but in some ways I think it still worked really well. Basically all it spoiled is that Future foundation is actually good and the survivors of the 1st game are members. Nagito is a little insane. And that there’s some form of computer Junko that exists that’s being used by some mysterious long haired guy
15:50 this is the thing I liked the less of this game, like, the contrast between the silly and the children, the awkwardness that is chapter 3 I liked all that because I think they handles it the way they wanted, I think that what I felt is how they wanted me to feel. This part is exposition via jojo reference and as much as I like jojo it felt super cheap to me, the diary that you find in monaca's room says "monaca towa" that could have been the reveal moment and it would have been fine
I love the fact that when I went on the convent everybody were saying that I could be a danga protagonist. All because I had a hair antena on my head caused by head surgery(they had to cut off some of my hair before cutting a skin) after a year my ahoge grown longer but it's still visible cuz is sticking out
come on we all know that the earth ain't flat and it definitely not round.. i mean we all know that it's donut chaped and that's why we have mountains and valleys because the mountains are geting pulled by the other side of the donuts gravitational field and that is also why the ground gets sucked in smh how do you not know about this smfh
This was my first Danganronpa game and I really loved it and got me to play the other games, but honestly whenever they were referencing the other games I was just completely lost and didn't remember any of it when playing the other games. its when I went back to that game later on that I got to really enjoy the fanservice and such
I loved UDG so so so much, watching Komaru and Toko’s relationship grow was probably my favourite aspect of it. Of course like most games in this franchise, there were some pretty questionable scenes like Kotoko’s mini-boss fight and the way you had to save your progress, but all in all the storyline is something I reaaaally enjoyed.
This was the most family friendly game I've ever seen. You know.... not like there was anything with those kids right? Heh....xD -and Haiji- And hey... now the only game you didn't make video yet is NDRV3 ... and yeah.... I'm really curious about your opinion on it because it is actually my favorite from all the game/novel/manga/idk anymore. Even the characters was for me the best ^^
hello as a udg stan i did start with it and even though i knew basically every death i played the other games anyways because it hooked me in so hard i had to play more even if i was kinda disappointed finding out it was point and click stuff
14:01 I was litterally like this😮 at that he admits it scene. They literally know they're pandering to pedophiles and they know not all anime fans are pedophiles but every pedophile is an anime fan is wild!
I really enjoyed this game, the music was awesome and gameplay surprisingly fun, but the group of toddler villians was way too ridiculous to take even slightly seriously. Not one of them besides Monica near the end ever came off as any level of threat despite the fact the game clearly expected me to take them seriously... though a few were pretty fun and funny characters! P.S. My favorite food is peeled chestnuts and my least favorite food is unpeeled chestnuts!
This is unironically my most favorite danganronpa game following v3. Hopefully if there is no mainline dr for the future then udg2 or something more action oriented dr would be awesome !!

And Nagito´s hair color is like that because he is less sick than in current times. His hair also progressively changes color during the DR3 anime. By the way, the collectibles are actually quite important. They give A LOT of information about everything: Towa city, the biggest most awful event in human history, towa group, the kids, Toko and Komaru´s life, the future foundation, etc.

Yes

I love UDG a lot, it's so fun to play and was a blast to explore outside in towa city. Very refreshing and Komaru quickly became my fav female character. I also loved the UDHagakure novel to come with it. Seeing returning characters too omygod. I'm crying remembering, so nostalgic.
It gets bonus points for Komarus panty scenes 🥰😚😚
Other then the many other reasons to love this game, *it basically confirmed my theory that characters grow an ahoge when they become the protagonist.*
This game declared that ghosts are real in the DR universe and that annoy me.
Hmmm, you can always say that it was all
*FICTION*
(as it happened before DRv3)
@Andrea De Luca Well DR2 level of luck is not quite unbelievable. The odds are nowhere near what would be considered "supernatural".
@Andrea De Luca I used to think the same, but looking back on it, since they are in a simulation, Monokuma can just decide to make whatever random result he want. So if we take the moments where Naito got lucky (in DR2, I don't consider DR3 canon because it is garbage imo) :
-When he got assigned to cleaning duty : 1 in 15 ? Quite lucky indeed. But he could have just cheated (even though he likes to pretend that he did not, but he does pull a lot of lies throughout the story).
-The Russian Roulette : 1 in 8 ? Lucky, but not really that lucky.
-The who-threw-the-poison case : That is the most interesting one in my opinion. Because when you think about it, Chiaki being the one throwing the chemical is pretty convenient for Monokuma, so he can just pretend that is what happened.
The 30% prediction thing is never really used so it does not really matter.
But ghosts are never set up before in the story, and they are used in Danganronpa UDG to deliver an important plot point... that could have easily been delivered in any other way ! So it really was a pointless stuff to make, and it only serves to make a ... joke I guess ?
But actually, a sp00ky Danganronpa could be a really interesting idea, if it is set up correctly. If we keep going with the running gag that "IT'S ALWAYS JUNKO !" , then the fact that Junko Enoshima' spirit is the one behind a killing game could be a really funny plot twist, with the right setup and context.
Bruh, you could read a dishwasher manual and still make it interesting
I literally know nothing about Danganronpa and I still watched this and was like 🤔😯
I never notice the ‘servants’ glove before
This is probably my favorite Danganronpa game besides DR: THH
@Isabelle The Doggo
Same!
I liked THH the least honestly. Its pretty interesting how peoples tastes differ when it comes to danganronpa.
@@demosthenes995 Honestly, all of the games have their own charm. Imo, THH had the most realistic cast and the best character interactions, and what made it great was how "real" it felt when compared to all of the other games. The motives were more personal - things that gave the students reasons to actually want to leave the school - rather than just... random ultimatums.
Meanwhile, DR2 had better plot twists and a stronger and more diverse cast, with characters that were easier to get attached to. Its trials were also a major step up from the ones in THH.
V3 had a strong cast, and the character interactions were a step up from DR2's (but not as good as THH's, imo), with things like cliques existing and whatnot. It's trials were pretty heartbreaking, and it's executions were some of the most brutal in the series.
So yeah. All of the games are pretty great, and I can't choose between them--
@@celty_6835 The reason I dont like THH is because I just really dont like Makoto. Everything about him annoys me. The character interactions are pretty good, but I'm not a big fan of the characters themselves. Hifumi? Annoying. Hagakure? Annoying. Toko? Annoying. I cant really explain why I felt that way, it's just how it is. I have two more reasons why I this way. THH has only 4 murder trials while the other two have 5. Danganronpa 1 also is an enclosed environment. I understand the intent to make the atmosphere claustrophobic, but it bothered me in a way that V3 and especially DR2 didnt. I will give you your point about motives however. I think THH handled the idea best. As in the other two, it feels more forced instead of "This gave me a reason to *want* to kill "
@@demosthenes995 I guess I can understand your point about Makoto. I don't see much of the "annoying" part being thrown around, but I know that for a lot of people, he was one of the blandest protags.
I can understand not liking some of the other characters, too. It took a while for them to grow on me. I thought Toko was annoying before UDG (hell, I'm pretty sure everyone did), and I hated how useless Hagakure was. But looking back on the events of the game, I can't imagine it being the same without them, as they both added a sense of humor, or even annoyance that alleviated the tense atmosphere. But I guess that's just coming from the fact that I've grown pretty partial to all of the DR cast, with the exception of Maki.
Imo, the fact that THH only had four murder trials was something that helped flesh out the characters. There was more time to focus on plot and the growth or conflict between the remaining cast since no one was getting killed off for the later half of the game.
I'm curious, how'd the atmosphere bother you?
(I'm not over here trying to defend THH like it's my favorite game of the series - like I said, I don't have one - but I'm always up for a discussion about it!)

Can we talk about the convenience of the same actress that plays Komaru Naegi [Makoto's sister] played Makoto Nijima in Persona 5? It's like the name Makoto just fits her voice whether she plays a relative of that name or is that name herself. On the other hand, Cherami Leigh is such a good voice actress. It's proved by her roles in both these great games.
This game was great and probably my favorite Danganronpa game, even if it's a spinoff completely different from the visual novels. I didn't thought the story was that shocking but it did get me some "WOAH hey now o_O... alright then" moments, either way it was enjoyable from start to finish.
Also thanks for the Autolock tip, there were times where my camera went bonkers and I did not know it was due to that skill LOL
Fun fact about my experience
I watched a play through of this game this was my first exposure to the series so when I played danganrompa 1 I knew some of the pepole that survived and when I played danganrompa 2 I knew future foundation werent the bad guys so I found out the truth sooner
Kotoko is best girl.
Also Komaru Enoshima was a missed opportunity.
V. Emil the II-nd Agreed
@Wowie Zowie Welp...at least I read that one fanfic starring her as the new Junko....until I got bored halfway through.
Monaca was a missed opportunity as well. They completely ruined her in DR3 anime.
@@namethis658 Agreed.
Omg yes.. kotoko and komaru ❤❤
Y'all not gonna talk about the scene at 2:50
I will say, while a lot of people criticize the pink-haired girl's story, it's... painfully realistic. Child actors are and continue to be sexually exploited and abused. The latest, public and blatent example being Cuties.
Kingdom hearts: "a cannon spinoff awe that's cute"
Is it weird that one random day after i got into this channel, i woke up to this video and saw a random clip of it, and thats how i got into danganronpa? And similar to how i got into AI somnoium, you be giving me all my favs Ramzaes
More people need get play ultra despair girls.
Have you noticed that the voice of Komaru is also Makoto from Persona 5
Why…yes
Cherami Leigh, she’s in loads of stuff. Her biggest role is probably Lucy heartfilia from Fairy Tail
Honestly, going in I thought this would be pretty bland, just some boring shooter game but it was actually really good!
The best part was probably Komaru and Toko's relationship but even the gameplay (which looks boring in almost every video you see) was really fun. Although it was pretty easy though, I gotta admit that. Especially the bosses, they take like 3 attacks from Genocide Jack and drop ded.
It felt so weird but at the same time refreshing how different this game is to the other DR games, especially if you play it right after marathoning the first 2 games.
Overall I agree that is a must-have (or must-play I guess) for fans of DR! It's fast pace and a bit short in my opinion (I took 15 hours) but it also feels complete and I think adding more content would've harmed more than done good to it.
ChEeSe!
The ending of this game is just basically “Imma going to space, bye!”
No really. Best ending.
🎩
🐍 no step on SNEK! 🇺🇸🇭🇰
Snakedude4life actually the going to space thing is from the dr3 anime, in the game the ending is Monaca gets defeated and Komaru decides to stay in the city, or something
okay but introducing Toko to Trucy's Theme???? aah that made me so happy!!
Favorite games
1. GBD (2nd game
2.UDG (spinnoff
3. V3 (3rd game
4. THH (1st game
I dont hate any of them i just like some more than others
We have the same opinions
I skipped playing this and just watch NICOB's playthru - I know, I'm a cop-out :(
hope bagels
Don't worry, I didn't play the series until V3 since I didn't own a Vita and V3 came out on PS4.
Plus I watched NicoB's LP on DR1 just out of curiosity, saw he was doing 2 right after I finished watching DR1, and then just joined the ride for Ultra Despair Girls.
d3nv1 you missed out...on absolutely nothing!
Hey, but are the games out on Steam or something? I don't have any PlayStation so it'd be useful actally
@@anni2539 Yep, they are on Steam now. So you can enjoy the Danganronpa series there.
Yay! V3 next!
I played it in between 1 & 2.
After then playing 2 I found it did spoil a few things but in some ways I think it still worked really well.
Basically all it spoiled is that Future foundation is actually good and the survivors of the 1st game are members.
Nagito is a little insane.
And that there’s some form of computer Junko that exists that’s being used by some mysterious long haired guy
15:50 this is the thing I liked the less of this game, like, the contrast between the silly and the children, the awkwardness that is chapter 3 I liked all that because I think they handles it the way they wanted, I think that what I felt is how they wanted me to feel.
This part is exposition via jojo reference and as much as I like jojo it felt super cheap to me, the diary that you find in monaca's room says "monaca towa" that could have been the reveal moment and it would have been fine
4:13 this is where annaisha got sniped by a Monokuma
*it’s funny how I just finished this game yesterday and this got uploaded today*
I love the fact that when I went on the convent everybody were saying that I could be a danga protagonist. All because I had a hair antena on my head caused by head surgery(they had to cut off some of my hair before cutting a skin) after a year my ahoge grown longer but it's still visible cuz is sticking out
come on we all know that the earth ain't flat and it definitely not round.. i mean we all know that it's donut chaped and that's why we have mountains and valleys because the mountains are geting pulled by the other side of the donuts gravitational field and that is also why the ground gets sucked in smh how do you not know about this smfh
**aoi asahina has joined the lobby**
This was my first Danganronpa game and I really loved it and got me to play the other games, but honestly whenever they were referencing the other games I was just completely lost and didn't remember any of it when playing the other games. its when I went back to that game later on that I got to really enjoy the fanservice and such
2:49
...That was my first time seeing the game over of this game and it literally made me blurt out the words "What the fuck."
I loved UDG so so so much, watching Komaru and Toko’s relationship grow was probably my favourite aspect of it. Of course like most games in this franchise, there were some pretty questionable scenes like Kotoko’s mini-boss fight and the way you had to save your progress, but all in all the storyline is something I reaaaally enjoyed.
4:30
..
*WHAT ARE YOU DOING STEP MO-*
12:43 Nice usage of "An obstacle in our path".
Holy salsa Komaru's va is the same as Makoto from persona 5
And Komaru's brother is called Makoto
Coincidence?
This was the most family friendly game I've ever seen.
You know.... not like there was anything with those kids right? Heh....xD
-and Haiji-
And hey... now the only game you didn't make video yet is NDRV3 ... and yeah.... I'm really curious about your opinion on it because it is actually my favorite from all the game/novel/manga/idk anymore. Even the characters was for me the best ^^
This game is when I first met Toko. Fave character, the game did her justice is what I'm seeing from other comments.
21:20 That's a lot of cheese.
4:29 what is the right most monokuma doing???
Goddamn it no wonder Komaru looked kinda familiar now I can't unsee it and now I think Miharu is their long lost sister from another mother
I played this game first, and it made me want to play Danganronpa 1 and 2! I loved this game, but I was a tad bit confused. XD
The starter clip was amazing- it really does remind me of them lol
14:35 play this clip at 2x speed ;)
you spin me right round baby right round like a record baby right round round round :)
Okay everyone, why at 20:29 there is the flag of a italian football team? Why?
This whole game reminds me of the South Park episode “the wacky molestation adventure”
hello as a udg stan i did start with it and even though i knew basically every death i played the other games anyways because it hooked me in so hard i had to play more even if i was kinda disappointed finding out it was point and click stuff
I like how all those first games/animes are all happening around the same time, and then V3 just don't???
I love how Toko gets an ahoge just because she is a protagonist in this game
I can't be the only one who feels bad for all the kids and wants to adopt and love them right
I was just watching a certain scientific railgun in English dub and the fact that Komaru has Uiharus voice actor is amazing
14:01 I was litterally like this😮 at that he admits it scene. They literally know they're pandering to pedophiles and they know not all anime fans are pedophiles but every pedophile is an anime fan is wild!
I started with this and was so confused by how the other games played
This was this was the first danganronpa game I saw and it scared me so bad and then thought all the games were shooting games
I really enjoyed this game, the music was awesome and gameplay surprisingly fun, but the group of toddler villians was way too ridiculous to take even slightly seriously. Not one of them besides Monica near the end ever came off as any level of threat despite the fact the game clearly expected me to take them seriously... though a few were pretty fun and funny characters! P.S. My favorite food is peeled chestnuts and my least favorite food is unpeeled chestnuts!
They're actually 12, not toddlers, but I agree.
strawberry chan It was a joke bud.
Ok but the soundtrack is the best of all of the games!!!
This is unironically my most favorite danganronpa game following v3. Hopefully if there is no mainline dr for the future then udg2 or something more action oriented dr would be awesome !!
7:21 Komaru: Huh , a Subway
Edit : Toko Fukawa is now a Subway Sandwich
I want more Danganronpa 😭 I miss it
This was my first in the game sire’s
i always wondered Did the "and also... 3" in the udg trailer( i think it is i dunno i wasn't in to anime at all at that point) teasing the DR3 Anime or V3
