Great tool for applying a wide variety of user submitted animated wallpapers. While not everything is the highest of quality, there's enough to pick from that you can find some pretty good stuff. It def beats using plain ol' static wallpapers so even when you're idle, you can show off some cool visuals on your desktops. Def worth it.

Amazing. Super tight controls and challenging combat. Fantastic cast of characters with excellent VO/dialogue. Superb art/music. I love these characters. This is secretly a VN in disguise. Loved how the story is presented. Incredibly addictive and tough to put down. SupergiantGames have outdone themselves. It’s pure fun. Must play!

Good story and wonderful voice performances. I was quite intrigued with where the plot was going. Great music and audio effects too. The ambient noise really made exploration much more immersive. Excellent level design with very intuitive environmental puzzles. I didn't need to look up any guides. I managed to solve everything on my own from just being observant. Very atmospheric and engaging. I enjoyed the entire experience. It was fantastic.

Tested out this port and it plays fine. This is my review from the Vita version.

So do you like the Zero Escape series? How about the Persona series? Or how about the Ace Attorney series? Ever wondered what would happen if someone combined them together? It would be DanganRonpa, yo!

The story was simply incredible. It was full of twists and unexpected moments. You play as one character who is trapped in some weird school and must work with a cast of characters to escape. I won't get into details but there are also trials where you must win to survive. The main plot was simply riveting from beginning to end. What really grabbed me was how much risk it took with its characters and setting. You just never seem to know what will happen next. The game plays around with your expectations all the time. Even when I figured out who the suspect was or how someone was murdered, the game would throw in multiple curve balls to screw with you. It was a lot of fun and kept me entertained. I never got bored with any part of the game. I was sucked into its crazy world. Some of the things that happened was incredibly morbid and disturbing. It definitely made me felt uneasy at times. There is a lot of dark humor that some people will enjoy. When the game wanted to be funny, it was funny. When it wanted to creep you out, it was pretty darn creepy. So good.

The characters were incredibly diverse and fun. They took your typical archetypes and totally messed around with them. I was continually surprised at how well developed and written they were. Most of them weren't what you'd expect from how they looked. Although, there was one stereotypical geek/otaku/nerd fat guy who encompassed all the negative sides of that trope. At least he wasn't dumb, sorta. But anyways, I really liked most of the cast. Most of them were very smart and very clever. In fact, some of them are even smarter than your character which was refreshing. I need to point out that it was very bold of NIS America for them to keep the original Japanese names. They could have gone the other way and made up English names but they didn't. I liked that.

The dialogue between the characters were very well written. I have to give NIS America HUGE props for the localization. I was super duper impressed! The dialogue was extremely natural and flowed really well. It felt like how people would speak in real life if they were put in these situations. Even the jokes were super well written. The lewd jokes in particular were funny as hell. I'm not sure who was in charge of them but they were biting and insanely well timed. Hell, even the cursing felt right for whoever was saying it in their situations. I laughed out loud quite often. I also liked the multiple references to other games and other forms of pop culture. Some are quite subtle while others blatantly mention specific product brands and/or names of real world people. It's a bit jarring when that happens but they don't date the game or make it feel awkward. If it weren't for the strong translation, I don't think I would've liked the game as much as I did. So once again, kudos to NISA for a job well done.

The visuals are absolutely stunning all around. Both the 2D and 3D art are super colorful and sharp. The 2D character art in particular is gorgeous. The character designs themselves are very attractive and well defined. There are several art styles that pop up but they're all beautifully illustrated. The character sprites don't have actual animations like with the Ace Attorney series but they are well drawn and very expressive. The event art (the painted scenes) is stunning and the occasional pixel art is cute as hell. The 3D parts of the school are also beautiful and very detailed. The FMV scenes are a mix of 2D/3D and really interesting. I really love the look of this game.

I also want to point out the gore in this game. The blood has been colored pink for some reason. I assume they were done to stylize the murder scenes or make it less gorey for anyone squeamish about blood in general. Personally, I think it took away some of the horror of the crime scenes. I wish there was a toggle for it. Just a minor gripe.

The audio was equally outstanding as the art. I loved all the music in this game. The trials in particular had several tracks which pumped me up. Great soundtrack all around. I also need to point out the English dub. IT WAS AWESOME. Yea, I'm not even exaggerating, it's just that good. The voices felt shaky at first when I started the game but they only got better and better as the game progressed. I didn't really fall in love until the first trial where it was fully voiced and you could really admire their performances. Everyone matched their roles and they did a great job making all these characters come to life. They read their lines with gusto. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have liked the characters as much as I did. I became a fan of several voice actors simply because of this game. There was one character that totally floored me with their performance in particular. I won't spoil who though. *grin* Once again, great job NIS America.

Overall, DanganRonpa exceeded my expectations even with all the hype from its fans. I loved every minute of it and was compelled to keep playing all the way to the end. Great writing, great story, great characters and great VO with fantastic art and music. It's a complete package and anyone who's into games like the Zero Escape and Ace Attorney series MUST play this. LOVED IT

This was a huge surprise for me. I first heard of this game from Giant Bomb's Quick Look, podcasts and various people on Twitter. I wasn't expecting much from its simple graphics but this quickly changed when things started happening. Not only is this one of the funniest games I ever played but it also has some of the most touching and creepy moments. It was an incredible experience and full of creativity. There's just way too many things that happen that blew my mind and kept me going. The music is also amazing. I actually bought the soundtrack right after I beat it. If you're wondering why UnderTale fans loved it so much, you should give it a chance because it goes to the most insane places in both story and gameplay. It's a journey worth experiencing and the True Pacifist ending was pitch perfect. Toby Fox and friends, you have created something special and should be commended. YOU NEED TO PLAY IT.

What a journey it has been. This is the final and BEST game in the series. Some pretty awesome twists and revelations for long time fans. The VO was superb and the writing was excellent as well. Great music all around. The puzzles were fun to figure out too. Any fans of the Blackwell series NEEDS to play this and see how this ends. Thank you WadjetEye Games for giving us one of the best adventure game series out there. I love Rosa and Joey!

What an amazing original adventure. Incredibly funny and witty. There is a lot of great concepts and ideas. If you play games a lot, this is even better. The VO is fantastic and the writing is super sharp. Btw, make sure to check out the demo as well. It's its own thing and is completely unique and different than what's in the full game. Definitely worth playing!

Short but sweet. Art direction and music is fantastic. The game has some fun but simple puzzles and there are some novel ideas with the gameplay mechanics. Very atmospheric with plenty of cool lil optional interactions. Definitely worth playing.

Fantastic sequel to the already wild and crazy Saints Row the Third. The superpowers are extremely fun to use and powerful. The story made me laugh out loud a couple of times. Not only is the game a great parody of games/TV/movies but it's also a great tribute to the entire SR franchise. Tons of callbacks and tying up loose ends from the previous games. They even go through the trouble of giving you more backstory to the characters (past and present). Overall, awesome game. PLAY IT.

Surpisingly entertaining. I really enjoyed the combat and humor. Some of the platforming and level design could've been better but it was enjoyable as a whole. There are some pretty nutty situations and they're executed well. I laughed a few times. Overall, worth checking out if you like Deadpool, juvenile humor or games with wacky stories in general.
