Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp

Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp is an RPG with a board game elements. It is a spin-off of the popular adventure games series. The project was developed by the Japanese studio Spike Chunsoft.

Plot

The game takes place in an alternative reality, separate from that of the main installments of the series. In Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp, characters from all previous installments of the series arrive on the tropical island of Jabberwock to develop their skills during a summer school camp.

Game mechanics

Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp expands on ideas from the virtual board game Ultimate Talent Development Plan, available as a mini-game in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. The gameplay is divided into two phases. First we travel around the island, recruit characters and develop them, and then the team thus assembled is taken on a combat expedition to the tower.

Starting the adventure, the player chooses his characters. Initially only a handful of heroes are available, but more can be unlocked through gameplay. The board game takes place on a map representing an island. Over the course of 50 turns, each of which corresponds to 24 hours, we have to explore locations, encounter NPCs, develop characters, complete quests and collect items.

We do all this in order to strengthen our team (a maximum of four characters can be included) so that it can win turn-based battles against monsters on the island. When the characters advance to the appropriate level of experience, we take them to the so-called Tower of Despair, where they face waves of increasingly powerful enemies.

There are 200 floors of the tower waiting to be defeated. Killed enemies left resources used to construct increasingly better armor and weapons, as well as coins used when drawing cards with new characters.

Game modes

The game offers a single-player mode only.

Technical aspects

Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp features simple but pleasing to the eye graphics made in a style modeled after Japanese cartoons and comics.
