Remember how High School was a bit of a drag? A mandatory thing that didn’t seem to get you anywhere? Well, imagine being stuck in High School. Now imagine being stuck in there for eternity. Now imagine a black-and-white, demonic-looking teddy bear telling you you can’t leave until you kill someone and get away with it. Sounds bizarre, right? Well, that’s the basic gist of Dangan Ronpa , and Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is now available in Europe for PlayStation Vita, with availability on PlayStation Network coming shortly after.
Trigger Happy Havoc is a “revised and revamped” version of the original Danganronpa that was released in Japan on PlayStation Portable back in 2010, according to this story’s press release.
In Trigger Happy Havoc , you take on the role of Makoto Naegi, a High School student who has been accepted into Hope’s Academy, a school that typically reserves itself for for the nation’s most “ultimate” students. When Naegi arrives at the school, however, he finds himself locked within said school, along with the other students that had attended, as a prisoner. The goal is simple: unveil who the evil mastermind is as well as the secret behind the school, or die trying. Key features of Trigger Happy Havoc , as detailed in the press release, have been listed below.
Daily Life, Deadly Life: Trapped in a school-turned-prison, students are murdering each other one by one. You’ll have to investigate each incident, search for clues, and talk to your classmates to try and get to the bottom of each brutal case!
Mock Trial: The nefarious Monokuma serves as judge, jury, and executioner as you engage in deadly wordplay, going back and forth with suspects, dissecting their statements and firing their words back at them to expose their lies!
Popularity Contest: Sway classmates to your side in each investigation, squeezing information from them to figure out who did it. And when you do, turn up the heat in a variety of timing and reflex-based game systems to uncover the truth and save your skin!
As mentioned above, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is now available on PlayStation Vita in Europe. The game will also be available digitally on PlayStation Network tomorrow (February 18).
