This telling of Komaru Naegi's story is GARBAGE. The Story is well trapped in Towa City, Makoto Naegi's sister gets attacked by Monokumas, before being saved by Byakuya Togami, and getting hunted by 5 kids who want to kill all the adults in Towa City to make it a kid only zone, and Komaru and Toko Fukawa try to save Byakuya and escape, yeah, the plot with the kids trying to kill the adults is odd, but the rest of the story is good, what is a problem is a lot a story problems that happen throughout the game, the biggest ones being, Byakuya waiting a while to save his allies, Komaru not using the gun when it benefits her, how did the Monokuma get inside the helicopter, how did Komaru not die from the crash, why did the other City disappear in certain shots, why wouldn't the signal transmit above a certain floor of the tower, why in 1 cutscene is the room suddenly more visible than during gameplay, Genocide Jack escaping a bricked by cell with her SCISSORS, what could cause Haiji Towa to stop advancing with the robot, ghosts are real in this game as Komaru said something she couldn't have known on her own, and the whole tense climax of the story makes no sense, since she could use the controller to dis-arm the helmets and then smash the controller, ending the war right now, these problems with the story big and small show the lack of attempting to make sense. The Characters of Komaru and the returning characters are as good as they always are, Haiji is well developed, and the other new characters do get the development they need, but I found Kurokuma to be pointless and contribute nothing. The Voice acting is as good as the other games, especially considering keeping a straight face well reading some odd lines. The Graphics are awful, they look like stock models of the 2D sprites, and movement feels stiff and lazy, and has moments of inconsistency with characters in cutscenes going down a ladder for example, but in the gameplay, she is still on the top of the ladder, and moments when they forgot to animate the megaphone. The Gameplay has you go around shooting Monokuma's with code shot from a megaphone, well making your way through Towa City, finding strategies to stop as many as possible in certain areas and defeating giant robots in boss battles, this isn't bad, it is fun to play and doesn't get repetitive, but there are stupid gameplay moments, like the dark room not warning you of one of the Monokuma's in it, a protect Komaru from getting groped minigame that doesn't make sense since she has nothing to move the hands away with, so she should still end up "motivated" as the game calls it, a room to escape lasers behind obstacles, but sometimes even when you behind a wall, the laser still gets you, the 2nd robot fight doesn't make sense since normally when you shoot electricity at a robot in water, everything else touching the water including you get injured, but here you will be completely fine, and the 4th robot battle is near broken
The Music is good, stylish and fits each scene it's in, although the main danganronpa theme is slightly changed in its mix and it's not as completely good as the first game's one. Sounds are also good for what they portray. Ultra-Despair Girls fail to be a good side game to the main series and tries telling itself in a way involving Story and Gameplay being as broken as it can get.
