While Danganronpa's popularity might have waned, its innovative blend of art and murder-mystery gameplay remains memorable. Tribe Nine aims to capture that same unique appeal, though it faces stiff competition in the saturated mobile 3D turn-based battle market. Its distinctive art style is a strong point, but it will need a compelling gameplay hook to truly stand out.
