## What is Danganronpa 2?

Danganronpa 10-Year Anniversary Release: Part 2!


Danganronpa 2 is finally available on smartphones!
The stage of the new killing game is set on a tropical island. Survive the evolution of the psycho-tropical class trials within the typhoon of madness, doubt, and suspicion!


■ Story

Blue skies, white clouds, the glimmering sea, and vast expanses of sand.
The students of Hope's Peak Academy arrive at a tropical resort destination known as Jabberwock Island, but they end up trapped as castaways due to the headmaster's schemes. In exchange for escape from the island, the students are forced to play a killing game and find the killer through class trials. Play through high-speed and fast-paced class trials by gathering testimony and evidence during investigations and use them as ammunition to shoot down your opponent's contradictory statements.

Brewing suspicion... Unseen madness... Their limits are tested as the evolution of the class trial begins.


■ Game Features

・High Speed Deductive Action
Determine the truth of each incident with testimony and proof gathered during your investigation. Use what you've learned in high-speed Class Trials to shoot down the opponent's statements.
Progress through fully voiced class trials, the key to the deductive action!

・2.5D Motion Graphics
A distinctly crafted environment that's planar yet stereoscopic is born by combining 2D illustrations of characters and objects in a 3D environment.
These new, 2.5D motion graphics were developed by using unique motion techniques and camera work.
The unique setting exudes style and flair.

・Completely Optimized for Smartphone Controls
The 3D map movement controls and UI have been optimized for smartphone use!
The map jumping function has been improved, like Danganronpa 1 for smartphones, and the minigame difficulty has been adjusted for better playability!


■ Additional Contents

・Intimacy Gallery
Intimacy Events have been compiled in gallery form!
Replay your favorite characters and events whenever you want, as many times as you want.

・Character Gallery
Allows players to view character sprites and lines in a gallery.
If you ever get the urge to hear that one line, now you can!

・Ultimate Gallery
A gallery full of promotional illustrations and character sheets from the official art book.

### 5/5 — Ettokae

*2026-08-18, version 1.0.3*

Ettokae

### 5/5 — Don’t get attached

*2026-08-17, version 1.0.3*

Don’t get comfortable in the prologue. And…oh boy. Chapter 2. That’s all I can say. Tuff game tho, dangan never misses (s and udg included!!)

### 4/5 — Good but i have an issue

*2026-08-12, version 1.0.3*

So its been doing this for about a month now, i open the app and it says like error. I tap on the screen and it has buttons like DR1 and DR2 in a different language. I was at chapter 5 and it wouldnt let me back into the game so i had to delete it. And im so mad but happy cuz i guess it saved me from seeing komaeda dead idk bro i just dont wanna restart my progress but i have to if it works now

### 4/5 — Fun but had issues

*2026-08-08, version 1.0.3*

I have so much playing! But it never saves my progress after I leave for a few minutes even when I save it! It’s still really fun just gets annoying:)

### 5/5 — Another great game!

*2026-07-31, version 1.0.3*

Again, i dont really play the last chapters but i watched the gameplay and i still love it! planning to get the next game :3

### 5/5 — THE HAMSTERS

*2026-07-29, version 1.0.3*

I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH THE DEATH ARE COOL

### 4/5 — Woah

*2026-07-23, version 1.0.3*

If you’d want to experience a danganronpa gameplay this isn’t a bad option but there’s some bug issues these days that spike chunsoft has yet to fix and it’s honestly pretty overpriced still very good game tho

### 5/5 — I beg you to download this

*2026-07-17, version 1.0.3*

Genuinely one of the best purchases I’ve made on this phone. SDR2 has a great cast, and is layered with lore. I love all the progression, even though you can’t get attached to any player for too long. (I should’ve learned with Trigger Happy Havoc…)

I love everything about this game (minus Teruteru and Kaz, weirdos,) and since it’s getting a remake, the original deserves its chance. Also it won’t release on apple for a while.

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-07-06, version 1.0.3*

This is a great game and in my opinion the best game in the series it starts a little slowly but if you can be patient I would recommend it

### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVERRRRR

*2026-06-27, version 1.0.3*
