Almost enough to make one quit video games entirely.
This was it: I had played the level six times already, and I knew I finally had it. Each prior attempt had employed a different, individual strategy, and they all had failed. But I had edged closer and closer to success. Now was the moment of truth: I instructed my units to move to the next space -- but the game suddenly froze! I pressed every button I could, hoping in vain to bring it back to life. I was the victim of a game-breaking bug. Angry and frustrated, I grudgingly reset the game. Oh and did I mention it was only the third level, and the difficulty was set on easy?
It's so good, I can bear-ly stand it!
If there’s one thing that Spike Chunsoft has proven, it’s that they know how to make a damn good visual novel. Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is their latest title to be localized to America and it stands up to the high standards set by their Zero Escape series. While similar in premise, Danganronpa eschews the puzzle-based design and offers up a unique gameplay style that blends Ace Attorney, Persona Social Links, and a touch of Rhythm Heaven. It all comes together to form a gripping and zany experience that doesn’t let up till the credits roll.
Haven’t I been here before, over and over again?
Just imagine that you’re one of the most unlucky people in the world for a moment, and you’re walking along and a cute girl asks if you want to have a free try with a small lottery machine. Now let’s say you win for the first time in your life, and that prize just happens to be a transformation into God. That’s how the story goes for Renya, and unfortunately, it’s the last bit of luck you see throughout the rest of the game.
In a complicated world of wacky demons, you sometimes feel right at home.
I would love to say that I’m a huge fan of the Disgaea series, however, I’ve never played a single title within the saga until Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness. If there was ever a game to make me fall in love with a series though; it would be this game. I entered this lengthy saga with my mind wide open, and I fell in love with a punishing and grindy game that continually made me go back for more. This colorful adventure (colorful in more ways than just its palette, I assure you) proves that a deep combat system coupled with childish and quirky humor can be crafted into something beautiful that will entertain for hours on end.
