Tribe Nine, the mobile ARPG featuring Danganronpa veterans Rui Komatsuzaki and Kazutaka Kodaka, is now accepting pre-registrations for Android and iOS! Pre-register to snag an exclusive skin and other rewards.
Komatsuzaki's art and Kodaka's design were key elements in the success of the PSP visual novel and detective thriller, Danganronpa. Now, this creative duo, along with other Danganronpa alumni, have teamed up again for Tribe Nine.
Set in a dystopian Neo-Tokyo of 20XX, players control teenagers participating in the deadly Extreme Games orchestrated by the enigmatic Zero. Pre-registering grants you the Parallel Cypher / Y skin for Koishi Kohinata, plus additional bonuses.
Tribe Nine blends thrilling action with a retro aesthetic, a hallmark of Kodaka and Komatsuzaki's collaborations. Explore the world in retro sprite style before engaging in full 3D battles. Experiment with equipment and Tension Cards to create unique character builds.
Will Tribe Nine Hit a Home Run?
While Danganronpa might be considered less trendy now, its originality on the PSP was undeniable. The unique art style and murder-mystery plot set it apart from typical visual novels.
Whether Tribe Nine achieves similar acclaim remains to be seen. Its aesthetics are striking, but the 3D turn-based battle genre is saturated. To stand out, Tribe Nine will need a unique selling point.
