While Danganronpa might be considered a classic now, its unique blend of Rui Komatsuzaki's art style and Kazutaka Kodaka's murder-mystery plot once set it apart in the visual novel landscape. Whether Tribe Nine will achieve similar success remains to be seen. While its aesthetics are undeniably striking, the 3D turn-based battle genre is highly saturated. Tribe Nine will need a unique hook to stand out from the crowd.
