Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is one of the most endearing and outright zany games I’ve played in recent memory. This fully interactive visual mystery novel from developer Spike Chunsoft (the studio behind similar games in the Zero Escape series) is so popular in Japan that it’s spawned both a manga and anime, and it’s readily apparent why. A well-written story, a diverse cast of interesting characters, and an awesome, Phoenix Wright-like trial system are just a few reasons why Trigger Happy Havoc isn’t only great in its own right, but a wonderful introduction to the series for western audiences.
The beauty of Danganronpa is that it deals with fairly serious subject matter in a light, humorous, and over-the-top way. In Trigger Happy Havoc (which originally came to PSP in Japan in 2010 and only recently made its way to Vita), a group of 15 students is invited to a prestigious private school known as Hope’s Peak Academy. These students are the best and brightest Japan has to offer, and are considered the “ultimate” at what they do. There’s the “Ultimate Baseball Player,” the “Ultimate Swimmer,” and even the “Ultimate Fanfic Writer.” Trigger Happy Havoc’s inherent silliness is cemented from the minute you meet each character, especially since most of the cast is talented in totally bizarre ways.
