What it is
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls is an action-adventure game from Spike Chunsoft set in a city overtaken by children called the Warriors of Hope. Komaru Naegi’s rescue from a long confinement is interrupted by an attack from Monokumas. She joins Toko Fukawa to survive the rampage, evade the Monokuma Kids, and uncover what is happening in the city. The action uses a third-person perspective and the Future Foundation’s Hacking Gun against Monokumas. Encounters also call for solving riddles and puzzles, and players can use different Truth Bullets, including Paralyze and Link, with special Bling Bullet modifiers to upgrade firepower. The single-player game includes Steam achievements, trading cards, and Steam Cloud, as well as Remote Play on Phone and Tablet and Family Sharing. It is listed for Windows on Steam, with PlayStation Vita also among its platforms. Spike Chunsoft is both developer and publisher.
