Unfortunately, she's also only able to maintain this form for a very short period of time, so players need to use her power like it's a scarce resource. She is immune to damage in her psychotic form and takes groups of Monokumas down with ease. When the swarms turn up it's time call on Fukawa to turn into Genocidal Jill. This gun proves to be effective at taking down small groups of Monokumas, but she is too much of a glass cannon to handle groups larger than three. Naegi is given a specialised gun that won't hurt people, but can destroy robots (with almost all enemies being various iterations of the robotic bear, Monokuma).
You're introduced to the two main characters: Komaru Naegi, the little sister of the first game's protagonist, and Toko Fukawa, AKA Genocidal Jill, the split personality character that was surely the most narratively limited and least likable of all characters across both games. Surprisingly little of worth happens across the first half dozen hours of that opening act. Over the course of the first chapter enemies displayed terrible AI, the shooting mechanics are too simple to be engaging, and the gorgeous, restricted and highly detailed environments and 2D static images representing characters in the first two Danganronpa games had been replaced with a large 3D world and characters that looked like PlayStation One games, albeit cleaner and with better animation.

Where Danganronpa and its sequel were tight, tense visual novels, more interested in telling a story than challenging a player's more traditional gaming skills, I thought the pivot that Ultra Despair Girls was taking to turn the series to a more action-based shooter might have been a misfire. After handing out 5/5 scores to both Danganronpa and its sequel, I had been wary about this one from the point that it was first announced.

I don't think there has been another game that has managed to shake me quite as profoundly as this one. Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls is a deeply unsettling game.
