Danganronpa Another Episode Ultra Despair Girls Free Download Unfitgirl The best the Danganronpa games could ever have hoped for is the status of hidden gems. From the impenetrably odd name to the divisive artwork and PS Vita exclusivity, there’s only a very narrow range of gamers who would ever give them a chance. Or at least that’s the case in the West. In Japan the series been successful enough to earn a sequel, smartphone spin-offs, and tie-in manga and anime. But while we’d recommend the two mainline games to anyone this diversion into action game territory comes with some serious caveats… The name Danganronpa means ‘bullet refutation’, which at least explains why nobody ever bothered translating the title. Our usual way of describing the game is as a cross between Ace Attorney and Battle Royale – where hapless Japanese schoolchildren are pressured into trying to murder each other, and then try to get away with the crime at a subsequent mock trial. The presiding judge is the demonic bear Monokuma, who might look like a cute anime mascot but is actually a sadistic monster. Monokuma, and the idea of unfairly testing the morals of ordinary people, are also central themes in this spin-off, but the gameplay itself is completely different. Ultra Despair Girls is essentially a third person action game, and what might generously be described as a survival horror. The story starts with high school girl Komaru Naegi, who’s been trapped for a year in her flat by supernatural means.  When she’s finally allowed to leave she finds the city overrun by an army of Monokuma robots  Unfitgirl.COM SEXY GAMES

as a group of rebellious children incite their fellow youths to murder all adults and turn the city into a parent-free utopia. It’s not exactly what you’d expect given the artwork, with the influence from Battle Royale this time taking a back seat to the likes of Lord of the Flies and Children of the Corn. As ever the script is surprisingly sharp and unafraid of controversy, with some extremely dark themes that are made all the more disturbing by the fact that the main cast are all children. What we don’t understand though is why any of this resulted in the game being turned into a third person shooter. The previous games worked perfectly well without any real action and inevitably Ultra Despair Girls isn’t exactly the portable equivalent of Gears Of War. Komaru is armed only with an ineffectual ‘hacking gun’, that requires pinpoint accuracy to take down a robot with any kind of speed. But it can be upgraded as the game progresses, and gains multiple abilities such as a stun bullet that makes the robots dance uncontrollably, the ability to read invisible messages, and a special kind of ammo that lets you operate machinery from a distance. You also get some help from a friend named Toko Fukawa (who fans will remember from the first game), although she constantly needs to stop to recharge. Alas, the action remains clunky and unsatisfying throughout, but later on the game does start to introduce more and more complex puzzles – and these at least are interesting.

Something’s afoot here

They still revolve around destroying robots, but often in a convoluted Final Destination style scenario that involves combining all the various abilities of your gun. The game really should have just stuck with this though, because the straight action sequences, and particularly the boss battles, really drag the side down. Not only is Komaru’s gun not very powerful on its own but, being a completely ordinary schoolgirl, she moves frustratingly slowly. The graphics are at least better than you might expect, but the game does have an unacceptable number of bugs and glitches. The obvious thing to say at this point is that fans of the series, or just those interested in Japanese gaming in general, will still find plenty to enjoy in terms of the story and characters. They’re just as well written as before, and there’s almost as much text as usual, but unlike the other games there’s too much focus on just the main two characters. The story is far too limited for the length of the game and in terms of character arcs and basic plot pretty predictable. As a shorter, non-action game it would’ve worked a lot better but it’s still nowhere near as interesting a concept as the other games. Not that we want to discourage the franchise from trying to branch out, but if it’s going to go off on such a tangent there needs to be a better pay off than this. Until now, the Danganronpa name has been associated with visual novels. Dead Space 3 Limited Edition

Captivating players with school-themed tales of murder, the first two games in the series require little input from the player beyond basic navigation and pressing a button to advance text. That changes with this spin-off episode, and the result is bad for everyone involved. Ultra Despair Girls revolves around third-person gunplay that is functional at best and mind-numbingly boring at worst. This decision alone is baffling; fans love this series for its cast of entertaining characters and its surprisingly twisted narrative. This entry disregards Danganronpa’s established strengths, instead putting you in large, sparse, and uninteresting environments. These areas serve as dull shooting galleries once the robotic Monokumas show up – an army of maniacal bears that attack on sight. Controlling Komaru Naegi (the younger sister of the first game’s hero), you fight back against this threat with a gun that shoots bullets with various interesting effects. For instance, firing a knockback blast on a bomb-toting Monokuma sends it reeling backward to trigger an explosion, which means you can take out a large group of foes with one well-timed shot. Another ammo type makes your targets dance in place while you take the time to line up a shot at their weak point. You can also briefly switch to your partner Toko (another character from the first game) as a kind of super-attack.

Unfortunately, the enemies are generally too stupid and predictable to make this kind of coordination rewarding. They usually just swarm you haphazardly, so encounters feel more like shooting fish in a barrel than fighting for survival. The only time the gameplay feels fun is when you get a break from the clunky shooting mechanics and use your abilities to solve puzzle-like arcade rooms. You’re still blasting Monokumas, but you need to do it with a methodical, step-by-step approach that lets you combine your ammo effects in interesting ways. Not all of these scenarios are great, but they’re more fun than the standard action. I wish I could say that the story makes up for the dull sections, but it also falls short. The plot has important revelations, but the delivery is just aggravating. Instead of a broad cast of likeable characters, you’re stuck with Komaru and Toko, whose character arcs are slow and predictable. You don’t get the rewarding mini-climaxes of the class trials in the main game, so it’s a long and slow journey that never really satisfies. For those who played the other Danganronpa titles, this story teases and plays coy for too long, frequently using ambiguous references like “could it be…that person?” to delay and talk around any real answers. Adding insult to injury, anyone who likes Danganronpa should still play this uninspired deviation from the core titles. DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT

The story isn’t told well, but it fills some holes in the series’ lore, and bridges the gap between the first and second installment. Ultra Despair Girls would be easier to bear if it were just an incidental side story that fans could ignore. Unfortunately, it is important to understanding the world of Danganronpa, but the gameplay and dialogue make you suffer every step of the way. Children, by nature, have a tendency to be greedy, self-absorbed, and inconsiderate. They can even be downright violent. But it’s also believed that, as ill-mannered and temperamental as they can be, kids still have a base morality that prevents them from causing grievous harm. While the thought of children turning homicidal is enough to send chills down your spine, it’s a reality in Ultra Despair Girls, a third-person action spin-off from the Danganronpa series. Ultra Despair Girls begins with a scene of an average, completely non-noteworthy high school girl, Komaru Naegi, lounging around her apartment in Towa City. Though she is a normal girl, her situation isn’t: she’s been held captive in this apartment by unseen forces for quite some time. The day finally comes when she is freed from her captivity, but this kicks off another struggle for Komaru. Towa City is overrun by a massive army of deadly, bear-like robots called Monokuma, and a group of children calling themselves the Warriors of Hope are staging the bloody revolution

Plot-wise, the game is an emotional roller coaster. Since Danganronpa is a series that’s notorious for not pulling any punches, you know everyone and anyone can be a target of unspeakable cruelty or have disturbing ulterior motives–yet it’s difficult to not get attached to these characters and their individual plights. There were points in the game where I felt my heart race and palms sweat–not from a challenging gameplay sequence, but from tense, emotionally charged story moments that shook me out of my comfort zone and into the harsh reality of Ultra Despair Girls’ world. Given its “kids murdering adults” concept, you can expect more than a few distressing revelations about certain characters and their motivations. Even when the action sections falter, it’s finding out what happens next in the story that will keep you eagerly playing. Ultra Despair Girls is connected to the Danganronpa series thematically and narratively, but the gameplay is quite different–the previous titles in the saga were mystery adventure games that dealt with a murder among high school students. Ultra Despair Girls takes place right in-between Danganronpa 1 and 2 and plays off many of the characters and plot concepts introduced in those games. Otherwise, it introduces third-person shooting action into the mix, to varied degrees of success. Death’s Door Switch

Komaru, being a typical high-schooler, isn’t quite as mobile or well-armed as your average shooter hero, but she still packs heat–a hacking gun that disarms the robots terrorizing Towa City. On top of that, her hacking gun isn’t terribly effective at first, and unless she hits a Monokuma square in its glowing red eye, it takes several shots before it goes down. Fortunately, she’s got a special friend in Toko Fukawa; you may remember Fukawa as the bitter, anti-social authoress Toko from the original Danganronpa. She has special abilities that make her an invaluable asset, but she also relies on battery power to flex these skills and occasionally needs a break in order to recharge. Komaru’s hacking gun has multiple capabilities: the Move bullet allows you to operate machines from a distance; Dance stuns an enemy briefly by making them dance uncontrollably; Knockback sends enemies and objects flying, and Reveal shows hidden messages and secrets. As the gun grows more versatile, the game begins to introduce more and more complex puzzles, which typically revolve around exterminating enemies by using all of your skills, often challenging you to find ways to destroy entire groups with a single shot. These puzzles make for a clever challenge, though every so often there’s a key point of frustration that proves annoying, such as enemies being able to detect you in an area that seemed to be out of their range.

While Ultra Despair Girls offers a good mix between puzzle-solving and pure action sections, the latter are often the weakest part of the game. Komaru’s feebleness seems intentional, but in some sequences–such as areas where you fight multiple enemies in a big, open map, and boss fights against larger foes–Komaru’s lack of mobility really begins to punish the player. Because you don’t move very fast, it’s hard to cover a wide area or dodge attacks, and Toko’s limited usage means you can’t rely on her to carry you through lengthier fights. Bugs occasionally crop up during big battles, too. Enemies called Monokuma Balls have an obnoxious sound effect that can continue playing even after you take them down, and twice the game crashed during particularly taxing fights, necessitating a complete system reset. In one case, I saved just before a fight, but in the other, there were numerous (thankfully skippable) cutscenes and short action sequences beforehand that I had to replay. But ultimately, it’s not the gameplay that will keep you engaged with Ultra Despair Girls. Despite the shift in genre, the game’s is almost as text-heavy as the two games that preceded it. The story is every bit as excellently written and engaging as the previous titles. In particular, Toko really works well as a co-star to Komaru with her weird brand of aloofness–she wasn’t a character I had pegged as one who could carry a spin-off when I first finished the original game
