Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony Reviews

Peak cinema!! No matter how many years since release this is still an amazing game with such a deep storyline. Although your favorite characters *may* get killed, it's still a great game.

I love all of the Danganronpa games and this one is no exception. Story and plot is amazing, however, the mechanics are not so much. Despite this specific version being marketed as a PC game, all of the controls seem to built for a game controller? It's extremely hard to use especially during trials where you have to click buttons and move your mouse to initiate certain functions to progress the trials. It constantly gives you hints on how to navigate the game but the controls on the keyboard and the directions on the screen do NOT match up! This game is amazing but do NOT get it on a PC, rather only if you are able to use a controller for it. Otherwise you will spend half of the game searching up which controls will align with what keys and it will make your experience kinda bad.

a truly piece of art this is. i'm so grateful for the game for bringing all these morals and the topic of point of view. most people are negative about the ending, but the ending is what really made the game so great. thank you for the game, thank you for it all.

interesting new game mechanics and it has some of the best cases of all 3 games overall a great danganronpa game even tho the ending is questionable

Might be one of the worst, if not the worst ending to a game ever concocted into existence, why did the creator go out of his way to create such an amazing game with 10/10 soundtracks and graphics, characters (except Himiko), etc, just to take a huge shit on it at the end? Is he st*pid? Makes no sense. lame .

I hadn't touched the series since the release of the second game, but I happened to see this was on sale over the holidays, and I decided I'd see how they finished things off. And I was impressed. It is a rare thing for a third game in the series to be the best, but for me (at least), this has been my favorite of the three games I have played in the series. The story line was gripping. The cases were intriguing. The characters! I do not remember feeling emotionally involved in these games at all in the past, but the characters and all their emotions really hit me! There are characters who are endearing and wonderful and pure. I don't recall ever almost crying in any of the previous games, but some of the outcomes of some trials and some scenes had my heart wrenching in this. I went into this game not expecting much. Just something to kill the time. When a series goes on for too long, things normally start to get very silly and the quality of games will go down. What I got what a gripping story and feeling a bunch of emotions that I never signed up for. And I loved it. I do love it when a game surprises me. So if you are on the fence about giving this one a try, give it a try. It may surprise you, too.

This is incredibly fun and a lot simpler for those that are not too great this type of game, me being that person heavily. The executions, murders, trials, story, beginning specifically. I loved it all, BUT the issue of the keyboard and mouse presses not being detected has made me damn near lose my mind. It's been anywhere between 2-14 clicks before it finally goes to the next message, especially annoying during class trials when it refuses to fire, or more so in the final argue where none of the WASD keys did not register for a whole 20 seconds. I looked up the issue and it seems to be a known issue with other people. By all means I highly suggest this game and absolutely love it, but just be very aware of the lack of keyboard and mouse optimization. If I didn't love the series as much as I do, this would very easily be a game killer for me.

Definitely coming in late to the party on the review and opinion. But when I saw one of my Steam friends giving this a negative review for its ending, I honestly thought it would be the same plot twist as the other games. But when it came to it, it was a rollercoaster of emotions, and frankly, I am glad that it ends like this. With the existence of Danganronpa S as an added insult to that ending, it honestly could not really get better than this. Thank you for all the experiences, stories, and emotions you've given me, Team Danganronpa, and farewell.

Completed, 8/10 Pros: - A return to the gameplay of previous Danganronpa games, which was great after playing Despair Girls. - A very good early twist that I didn't see coming. - I very rarely had to pull up a guide to figure something out. The cases were a lot more similar to Trigger Happy Havoc in terms of difficulty than Goodbye Despair. - A lot of new, interesting ultimate abilities. - Danganronpa finally got its teeth back and is willing to actually kill likable characters, which is good to see after watching the Danganronpa 3 anime, where they retconned like half of Ultra Despair Girls. - Absolutely insane ending. I had a few theories as to what was really happening, and none of them were correct. - I very much preferred the new trial minigames introduced here to the ones in Goodbye Despair. Cons: - There's some characters that I genuinely dislike. Not in a "meh" way, but a "wow, I wish they'd just die already" way. - The slot machine seems to be all but guaranteed to give you profit in the long run, making the only limiting factor to the casino purchases how long you're willing to let your game run while having your controller/Steam Input spam Y. Just needlessly tedious. - Maybe this was my fault, but I was unable to max out anywhere close to the amount of bonds that I was in Trigger Happy Havoc and Goodbye Despair. - Very few cases that spanned more than a few rooms. This is a pretty significant downgrade when compared to cases in earlier games, especially since the map is so much larger here both early and late game. - The MonoMono Machine is still very tedious to use. I wish there was an option to quickly do a bunch of spins with a set number of Monocoins instead of having to do each spin individually. - The Monokubs were an interesting set of characters, but I don't like how they made Monokuma seem weak due to not being able to pilot the Exisals. In Trigger Happy Havoc and Goodbye Despair, he was an almost omnipotent character who was not to be trifled with. In V3 he's the guy that runs the class trials and occasionally tells jokes or gives hints. - There's a few minor translation issues where a wrong word is used. Not a dealbreaker, but it does make the English translation feel a bit cheaper. - I really don't like Monokuma's new English voice. All in all, while I still think I prefer Trigger Happy Havoc, V3 Killing Harmony is a close second that I feel wraps up the Danganronpa franchise nicely (though I wouldn't be against a sequel).
