That’s not to say that Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony doesn’t have twists and turns. In fact, aside from the inclusion of the Monokubs – Monokuma’s charismatic kids that help him oversee the killing game this time around – the story will feel very familiar to long-term fans. Killing Harmony doesn’t change a whole lot from this formula. That is, until someone decides to murder one of their fellow students and the whole thing starts over again. If you get it correct, the killer is killed and everything is right with your group. A crude, hilarious, and very self-aware bear named Monokuma oversees all of the killing and then tasks the students with investigating the crime scene and piecing together evidence in order to work out who the killer was. 16 students are kept against their will in an unknown location and are forced to participate in a killing game. Unfortunately, the slight niggles and issues that were present in the previous two mainline titles also rear their heads in Killing Harmony, too.įor those new to the series, let me give you a quick rundown. Despite moving away from the Hope’s Peak Academy storyline (which is concluded in the anime), Killing Harmony offers all of the typical style, charm, and extravagant murders that you’ve come to know and love from the series. Excluding the spin-off Ultra Despair Girls, fans have been waiting five years in the west for the next chapter of the Danganronpa series.
