Fun in the Sun
Spike Chunsofthas announcedthat the murderous cutie-pies that make up theDanganronpaelite are set to bring their summer shenanigans to new platforms.Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Campis officially headed to PS4, PC, and mobile platforms, and will be with us as soon as next month.
Originally released on Nintendo Switch in late 2021,Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Campis an expanded and revamped version of the “Ultimate Talent Development Plan” board game, as featured inDanganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. Starring a huge cast of characters pulled from across Kazutaka Kodaka’s wild whodunnit franchise,Danganronpa Ssees our guys and girls hanging out, fighting monsters, and gathering cool new gear during a vacation on the mysterious “Jabberwock Island.”
WhileDanganronpa Sboasts the sly sense of humor, cheesecake fanservice, and striking visual aesthetic of its contemporaries, it was chastised for a heavy reliance on grinding, as well as its love affair with tiring gacha and microtransaction mechanics. Whileour own Eric Van Allenfound a lot of fun in seeing all of these famous faces cross over, he also noted that the gameplay required to enable said interactions was repetitive and tedious.
In the eyes of manyDanganronpafans,Ultimate Summer Campis a wonderful idea on paper, packed out with dream meetings for the series’ long-time fans, but the execution is weak. No pun intended
Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camplaunches on PS4, PC, and iOS and Android platforms July 21. It is available right now on Nintendo Switch as part of theDanganronpa Decadencecollection.
