When Spike Chunsoft announced an iOS and Android release for the Danganronpa trilogy, I was very pleased. I’ve played the first two games in the series on literally every platform they have been released on in English and basically adore the series. Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc ($15.99) is the first game in the series and it has arrived on iOS and Android as a premium release with a few enhancements and additions over the console and PC versions.
If you’ve never heard of this series before, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is the first entry and this franchise blends exploration, mini games, puzzles, murders, mystery, and great music together with one of the most memorable casts you will interact with in adventure games. This series blends visual novel and adventure games together with a story that keeps you at the edge of your seat. Even though I’ve played Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc on iOS for review, the story and cast have aged brilliantly and this cements the game and series as one of my favourites of all time.
The basic game flow here for those who haven’t played these releases before is visual novel storytelling with some exploration that leads into a murder mystery which then leads into a trial. The trial brings mini games and puzzles into the picture after you’ve gathered evidence and “truth bullets." The trials are great despite some mini games feeling a little tacked on.
