Gameplay
Danganronpa Another Episode is a third-person adventure shooter game where the player controls the protagonist Komaru Naegi, the younger sister of Makoto Naegi, as she tries to survive in a city overrun by Monokuma Units with the help of her partner Toko Fukawa.

During the game the player has the option to switch between playing as Komaru Naegi and Toko's split personality, Genocide Jack. Choosing to play as Komaru allows the player to ultilize a megaphone-shaped hacking gun which turns her words into various types of ammunition, called Truth Bullets. Initially, Komaru has all types of Truth Bullets in unlimited amounts, but The Servant messes with the gun when she is initially taken hostage onto the Warriors of Hope's airship, forcing her to rediscover the different bullets and use them in limited supply.

Using the hacking gun, Komaru can issue several different commands based on the Truth Bullet she shoots:

On the other hand, the player can also choose to call upon the invincible Genocide Jack, who carries her "Genoscissors" and a stun gun which allows her to go on a rampage and destroy all the Monokuma Units around her, although the player can only use Genocide Jack for a limited period of time as once the batteries are drained Genocide Jack will immediately revert back to Toko. The batteries also take time to refresh before the player can use Genocide Jack again. In addition to her normal attacks, Genocide Jack can also use special moves by charging up Slash Lust.

"Despair Time" will activate if Komaru loses all her health. In this event, the player must stop the shrinking white circle inside the yellow ring or the smaller blue ring to save Komaru. Stopping the circle inside the yellow ring will cost one of Toko's batteries, however stopping it inside the blue ring does not cause Toko to lose any batteries. If Toko has no batteries only the blue ring will appear. Failing this event will cause a game over.

Danganronpa Another Episode also features a different system for collecting Monocoins. In this game Monocoins are collected by defeating enemy Monokuma Units. Depending on the how the Monokuma Unit was defeated, the Monokuma will drop gold, silver, or bronze Monocoins. These Monocoins can be used to purchase upgrades for Komaru's Megaphone Hacking Gun and Genocide Jack's scissors at the Monokuma Kid shop. Monokuma Units can also drop other items when defeated such as Truth Bullets, batteries, and extra lives.

The player will also encounter various Monokuma Kids who will challenge Komaru and Toko to various puzzle like minigames which the player must complete to access new areas. These challenges range from destroying Monokuma Units, finding Monokuma Kids without being caught, and solving various riddles throughout the game.

Compared to Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, Danganronpa Another Episode features a lot more collectibles in the game, which can be found by exploring Towa City or by using the Detect Truth Bullet on the Megaphone Hacking gun. These various collectibles include Hit List Cards, Socki the Sock, Books, Reference Books, Hidden Kids, and Notes.

Game Difficulty
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls also features three difficulty modes which are very different from the previous games: "Genocide Mode", "Komaru Mode" and " Despair Mode ".


 * Genocide Mode allows the player to call upon the invincible Genocide Jack at almost any moment and cut through Monokuma armies, leaving the player to enjoy the rest of the game at their own pace. This mode also increases battery regeneration and pickups. Also known as "Super Ultra Pumper Genocide Jack Mode. For those who just want to enjoy the story".


 * Komaru Mode supplies the player with plenty of Truth Bullets for action-packed gameplay. This game difficulty is described as "Working hard for a Normal Girl Mode".


 * Despair Mode is the hardest mode in the game. The game will make the Monokuma Units much harder and more challenging to destroy. The player plays as Komaru most of the time and Genocide Jack occasionally. This mode makes weapons recharge much more slowly and the Monokuma Units much more difficult to control when using Link. Monokuma Units also drop batteries, hearts, and Truth Bullets less frequently. Also known as "Ultra Despair Mode".
