This black-and-white bear has trapped fifteen students inside Hope’s Peak and given them a choice between living inside the school for the rest of their lives, or earn the right to leave the Academy by getting away with killing one of their classmates.

However, just as these kids are getting ready to begin their new lives together, they find themselves at the heart of a sinister plot by an animatronic bear named Monokuma. This includes protagonist Makoto Naegi, who earned his place at Hope’s Peak by winning a raffle, earning the title of “Ultimate Lucky Student.” These kids are deemed the “Ultimate” at what they do, and are taken in by Hope’s Peak to make the most of their superior talent. This school searches the world for high school students who are the best in their field.

While the PC version of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is hardly the definitive edition of the game, it still marks the beginning of this stellar series’ expansion to a wider audience, and that’s something I can absolutely get behind.ĭanganronpa focuses on a group of students attending the prestigious Hope’s Peak Academy. However, since people who own their own personal Vitas aren’t always easy to come by, this usually meant letting people borrow my own handheld for extended periods of time or investing in a PlayStation TV to play the games on their televisions.īut now Spike Chunsoft is bringing this battle between hope and despair to PC, and pretty much everyone has a computer. Since Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc came to Vita back in 2014, I’ve been transfixed by Spike Chunsoft’s visual novels and have been essentially begging others to try out these excellent games. Over the past few years there’s probably not a game I have recommended more to friends, family, and colleagues than Danganronpa.
