Now we often find series of games branch off to new horizons as they try to reinvent or give a new experience to their fanbase. Megaman X had a shift from 2D sidescroller to 3D, which was not well received because it bogged down the formula and made the game feel sluggish, as well as the addition of Axl, making it seem like X was obsolete. On the other hand, the creators of Ico devised a completely different game in the form of Shadow of the Colossus. Here we see genius in motion so to speak, taking the puzzle aspects of Ico and merely adapting them into complex and intense fights against giant colossi. Here we have two different series with two different reactions to their shifts in focus. Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls descends from its original visual novel/point and click adventure style for a third person shooter. Will it follow the path of the disliked 3D Megaman X games, or will it shine much like the Shadow of the Colossus? This is what needs to be addressed when looking at this beast.
