Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, développé par Spike Chunsoft et édité par NIS America ainsi que Spike Chunsoft, est sorti le 25 novembre 2010. Classé parmi les genres aventure, point-and-click et visual novel, le jeu met en scène Makoto Naegi, un lycéen ordinaire sélectionné par loterie pour intégrer Hope's Peak Academy, une institution réservée aux élèves d'exception. Après avoir perdu connaissance le premier jour, il se réveille emprisonné dans l'école avec quatorze camarades, sous la coupe de Monokuma, un ours robotique qui se proclame directeur et impose une règle mortelle : seule la liberté est promise à celui qui commet un meurtre sans être démasqué. Les quinze élèves doivent alors affronter des procès de classe visant à exposer les mensonges et contradictions de chacun à la suite de chaque homicide.
L'expérience de jeu alterne entre la vie quotidienne en prison et l'enquête sur les incidents, où le joueur collecte des indices et interroge ses camarades. Lors des procès parodiques présidés par Monokuma, il convient de disséquer les déclarations des suspects pour révéler leurs mensonges, puis d'utiliser des systèmes basés sur le timing et les réflexes afin de faire éclater la vérité. Le titre est disponible sur PC, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, PlayStation Portable et PlayStation Vita, fonctionne avec le moteur SilverWare et utilise la gestion des droits Steam, avec un prix de 19,99 euros. Une partie principale demande environ 25 heures, tandis qu'une exploration complète atteint 45 heures et demie.
L'accueil critique s'est révélé favorable, avec un score Metacritic de 82 et un score OpenCritic de 86. La presse a salué la profondeur de ses énigmes philosophiques, Digitally Downloaded évoquant un titre qui « connected with me on a very deep, very rea… », tandis que Gaming Age a jugé que « c'est un voyage troublant, mais qui en vaut probablement la peine ». Certains joueurs sur Steam apprécient l'ambiance, l'un d'eux résumant le tout par « fun game and monokuma carries », mais un avis négatif sur la plateforme relève que si l'histoire comporte des rebondissements, cela « n'efface en RIEN les défauts inérhents au gameplay ».

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« At its core, Danganronpa is a melting pot of various philosophical puzzles that pulls together in such a way that it connected with me on a very deep, very real level. Without giving the ending away, the ultimate fate of all the characters (including Monokuma) left me more than a little shaken, and any game that's able to connect with me at that kind of primal level must be worth the investment. »
« It's an unsettling journey, but it's probably one worth taking. »
« Clocking in at around twenty hours, there is little reason to play through a second time but as is the case with a great book, once picked up it’ll be difficult to put down and when this abearrant tale has finished bearing it all, you’ll put it down with a smile on your face. »
« Danganronpa’s heavy storyline segments and somber themes won’t be for everyone, but for Vita owners looking for something fresh, stylish, and enthralling to play on their handheld of choice, this is an utterly fascinating game that shouldn’t be missed. »
« Games of this ilk are rarely for everyone, but this is a unique experience that really stands out – even in the Vita’s burgeoning library. »
« The themes of Danganronpa aren’t going to be for everyone, but for those who want an exceptional story that gets its hooks in, then you cannot go wrong here. »
« One of the best visual novels available in English, despite some hiccups. »
« A thrilling murder mystery from start to finish, Danganronpa is an essential purchase for those who enjoy games as interactive stories. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Primera novela visual que jugué, si bien tiene varias cosas que no me gustaron; disfrute la experiencia general, me gustan el arte y diseños, la música y la atmosfera, la trama es buena, pero tampoco me parece la gran cosa. »

« 독특한 색감의, 입체 종이 인형극을 보는 듯한 키치한 아트워크 만으로도 충분히 가치가 있다. 개연성과 게임성은 부족해도 스토리 역시 충분히 매력적이다. »

« I don't remember the last time I was so intrigued and captivated by a VN, always curious about what will happen, the mystery and constant tension keeping me on my toes while a dark feeling lingers throughout the entire story. This is by no means a normal VN, it has more gameplay than many non-VN games, which was shocking to see. The detective gameplay, always asking yourself what is actually going on, the character development of some really well-done characters with amazing artwork, the really good dialogue, exploration, and the many other gameplay elements all together create one of the best experiences I've had in years. »
