really weird premise to begin with but the board game also wasn't fun and the game crashed on me multiple times in less than an hour of playing. and there are gatcha elements.
Even though this is an expanded version of DRV3 extra modes, it is way worse.
The rpg/tower mode was much more fun in DRV3, here it feels like grinding wave after wave of enemies, just to get resources and complete the game without any fun at all.
The gameplay loop of the board game gets boring pretty fast after a few runs.
Nice gimmick as a shorter extra mode, but it doesn't stand as a game on its own. Pretty sure I won't be finishing this.

I played this for about two hours, I was fairly impressed by the character interactions and I thought the core gameplay was fun albeit the RPG elements were underwhelming. Unfortunately after the first playthrough I found out that the game has an egregiously repetitive gameplay loop where you must play as the same characters repeatedly in order to unlock the rest, but only five of them are unlocked from the start. In addition getting the characters you want is done through a gatcha mechanic where you can spend coins to get cards for characters you want, or spend real world money to get a better chance of the characters you want. When doing a second playthrough of the game I found the same events would repeat and ultimately the gameplay loop just wasn't a good system for me. I'm very disappointed with how the game turned out, although I will give it a few points for letting me spend more time with one of my favorite characters from the series and giving them more development which was nice. All-in-all I don't think I'd recommend this one unless you want some mileage out of a couple character interactions.
A game made by people who forgot the point of V3's ending.
Esse jogo é basicamente um spin-off da serie com 100% de foco no fanservice. É daora por poder ver a interação dos personagens de toda franquia juntos, e até tem um sisteminha de RPG interessante no gameplay, mas sinceramente, não é o que galera tava esperando de um spin-off e novo conteúdo de DR.
what is the point of this
Lol
I probably bought that cause I had a boner that day.
Fanservice game. Basically the V3 minigame expanded. Has some fun things to it but the gacha mechanic is cringe and the gameplay gets repetitive too fast.
A disgraceful follow up to V3. I'm fine with spinoffs and I'd even be fine with this one, but making it a high variance gacha game that requires you to waste time or to waste money is an insult to V3's message and its warnings against consumerism.
i had a decent amount of fun with this game. i enjoyed seeing the characters i love so much interact with each other in a way they previously weren't able to. but the gameplay itself gets boring pretty quickly. i could even look past that, but the worst thing about this game, is that you can - and probably will - get softlocked. the game is currently unplayable for me, which sucks. i probably had more fun with this than the average person, but now i can't even play the game anymore, without deleting all my data and starting over
bruh
my friend told me i was ripped off
and i think he was right
and i think he was right
Why Would You Even Come Up With This Idea?! It's So Garbage, I Only Played It Because Of Curiosity Even Though I Completely Lost Interest In DR And Left The Horrid Fandom... God, What A Disappointment! Absolutely Not Recommended!
I don't wanna play repetitive board games for some fanservice dialogue
A decent fanservice game that's fun in short bursts, as long as you only paid $20.
takes like 30 minutes to boot for some reason and is just a shittier version of talent development plan in v3 with in app purchases like some dogshit mobile game (despite costing 20 dollars). sucks. just check the character interactions on the wiki. or pretend it doesnt exist.

If you like V3's Development Plan postgame mode, this is your game. Despite being a clearly nonsensical plot, I did enjoy the final moments and the ending content. Building up my favorite characters is always satisfying, like having Hajime tank while Izuru sweeps.
If you have brain damage like me and soypoint when you see certain DR characters and want to see more of their interactions it's worth getting, but otherwise it's fairly barebones since it's basically just a slightly expanded version of the board game from V3.
Spike Chunsoft has said they're interested in doing more DR spinoffs and I hope whatever ones we get after this are more proper "full games"- I like DR:S and even I would be disappointed if all the new spinoffs they made were on this tier.
tl;dr danganronpa fighting game when

Danganronpa S features no real story content aside from the basic premise of a peaceful alternate universe where no killing games ever took place and every main character from the series went to Hope's Peak together and became friends. Danganronpa S takes place durning the summer break before everyone's graduation and as a celebration they use the virtual reality program of Jabberwock island to have a party and cultivate their ultimate talents more before leaving Hope's Peak.
Danganronpa S is an expanded version of the Ultimate Talent Development Plan mini-game from Danganronpa V3. Now featuring 60 characters (Including some from Ultra Despair Girls which didn't make an appearance in the original mini-game), new sprite designs of all the characters in beach attire, new CGs, new encounters and over 1000 different character events making Danganronpa S the definitive way to experience the UTDP.
Danganronpa S is made only for the most die-hard fans of the series, this is a pure fan-service game and unless you care about seeing your favorite characters get to interact with each other in much more wholesome ways that they never got a chance to before, the game offers very little else aside from an addictive, seemingly endless, cylindrical grindy gameplay loop of developing characters in the board game mode, fighting enemies and completing missions in the turn-based dungeon crawler battle tower mode while farming for materials to make better equipment for your characters and Monocoins to unlock new, stronger characters and upgrades from the gatcha machines (You can pay real money as well, but there's no reason to when everything is unlockable through just playing the game) to go back and develop them through the board game mode and then just rinse and repeat. So if all that grinding doesn't sound enjoyable to you it's probably best to stay away and just look up the character events on YouTube, but If you loved the UTDP mini-game from V3 enough to put hours upon hours into it like I did than this is the game for you.

they should've stopped at sdr2 this game wasn't really needed for literally anything but its nice seeing some characters interact with others shrug.

The only appeal of this game are the characters bodies in swimsuits. The Story is that they all the characters from 1,2, V3, and some (not all for some reason) from Ultra Despair Girls are going to a virtual reality to get more hope fragments. This is the first time that even the idea of the story is terrible, this game is just an excuse to have all characters interact, so the story pretends that no one died and that the V3 cast believe in hope now just so this game could happen, but it doesn't lead to a good story. the Characters are the same as the games, minus what I said earlier. Voice acting is just taken from the last games, no new voice acting for this game. The Graphics are terrible, the 2D sprites look copy and pasted on screenshots from the games, and a few new ones, and the 3D sections look too basic to call them anything else. The gameplay has you roll a dice and go around the island on 50 days/turns to do all you can before playing as a new character, for other moments, which would be fine, but the interactions you have are random between the character you play, and other people you interact with, meaning to whole point of the game is uncontrollable, if you want to play as NON protagonist characters, you have to pay microtransactions first, also, this game recognizes Genocide Jack/Genosider Sho both as canon with V3 being here so that's another mistake they never fixed, there clearly weren't enough pods for everyone in the beginning, combat is just bash the fight and mega fight buttons until you win, even bosses, getting cards to help you around, do certain events alone to boost skills, or by landing on the same square as another person, or by landing on a talent square, even the scenes with the characters each other aren't always worth listening to, meaning you may not get anything you like even if the right characters DO come up, and your money could be taken by the Monokubs, this Gameplay overall is garbage. The Music is just taken from the 2nd game, and sounds are either basic or nonexistent. Danganronpa S is a way to make a barely pointful game pointless by taking away it's point and making everything else bad too.
Le daría media estrella pero hay buenas tetas
Since I completed this game earlier this month, I feel like I should review it.
In all honesty, this game is fun but only if you're really into Danganronpa(I mean like, if you're obsessed with this series). If all you care about is the story and not the interactions characters have, then it's wasted on you.
The interactions are fun, hilarious and cute, the board game itself is fun once you're far enough in, as is the battle mode(still too bad it's not the same battle mode from V3's side mode where you can walk through a dungeon but I digress). It does get really repetitive (mainly since I 100% it) but it's not really hard or anything.
I see lots of people complain about the microtransactions and act as if you have to spend money to get the U Cards which...no you don't. You literally don't have to spend money to get stuff. I got every playable card, W and WR cards without spending a cent. It's just there for people too lazy or busy to grind for Monocoins.
Something I will say that detracts from its score is the freezing. I can't say how it runs on PC but for the Switch version, it freezes quite a bit. It's not too bad considering the game autosaves have every turn but it's still annoying having to exit out of the game and go back into it. There's also apparently a bug in the game where, when you're doing the final episode, if you're unable to beat it due to your units being too weak, you are unable to do anything else and the only way to get out of it is by making a new game.
The Usami Flower missions can be fun but certain ones are horrible to complete (such as, the one where you have to upgrade your equipment 20 times in one board). Having to grind to make every weapon in Battle Mode is a bit of a slog, too.
All in all, I rate this game a 7.5/10. Nowhere near as good as the main games, obviously, but is still a fun time waster if you can look past the bugs and are into the characters themselves. I would NOT recommend trying to complete every Usami Flower unless you're a completionist. Or are crazy and obsessed with Danganronpa(I'm the latter).

They put Junko's big honkin' badonkers front and center on the title screen, so they did at least one thing right.
Meh, it literally is the V3 development plan but expanded to a full "mini" game. Rather just watch the interactions in Youtube
Im a huge danganronpa fan but the fact that I need to pay to play whoever character I want is dumb as hell
so disappointing, not worth the money...
As a Chiaki lover I got my fill after seeing everything playing as her.
This game can be enjoyable for a couple hours but man this game is just a huge repetitive grind fest the more you play. That's all you do: grind, go to the battle tower, lose after a bit, grind, repeat.
I have several hours on this on my switch and I still don't reccomend playing this since if you're just here too see your favorite characters interact you can just watch all their scenes online lol.

Robbery in broad daylight??! (unsatisfactory)
Don't buy standalone, the one good thing is the amount of interactions we get, goofy ahh characters. Nevermind the fact this released nowhere near summer... this game was a walking red flag.
