No worries—those are great questions! Here’s how you can play Danganronpa on various platforms and the recommended order to start your journey.

Where to Play Danganronpa

Danganronpa is a multimedia series that has gained a cult following for its engaging plot and unique gameplay. While the main games are typically paid, you can still enjoy them on multiple platforms. Here are the options available to you:

PC: Steam. PlayStation: PS Vita, PS4. Nintendo Switch: You can find them through the Nintendo eShop. Mobile Devices: iOS and Android.

Keep an eye out for Steam sales where they occasionally offer discounts on Danganronpa games. Some platforms might offer free trials or promotional events. Check for special offers. Your local library might have a digital lending system that allows you to borrow games. Check with your local library.

Recommended Order to Play

The Danganronpa series includes several main titles and spin-offs. Here’s the recommended order to play the main series:

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc (2010) Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair (2012) Danganronpa 3: The End of Hopes Peak High School (2016) - This is split into two parts: Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls (2015) – This spin-off takes place between the first and second games. It adds context but is not essential to play first. Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony (2017) - This one introduces new characters and a fresh story but is a standalone game. You can play it after the main series.

Best Platforms for Danganronpa

The best devices to play Danganronpa, in my opinion, are:

Nintendo Switch PC (particularly with Steam for range and modding options) PlayStation (Vita, PS4) Some might argue iOS, but they are generally playable on any computer

Xbox?

While Danganronpa is primarily available on the platforms mentioned above, there’s no specific mention of it on Xbox. You might want to check gaming forums or fan sites for any unofficial ports or digital distributions on Xbox.

Enjoy Your Time in the World of Danganronpa!

After completing the main series, you might also enjoy Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony as it introduces new characters and a fresh story, but it stands alone. The numerous fan-made games and related media also offer additional content, but starting with the main titles will give you the best experience.
