Overall, Ultra Despair Girls manages to be both a worthy distraction between the two mainline Danganronpa titles, while also giving a new coat of paint to the series' formula.
"Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls" is a spin-off of the visual novel series, set between the first two games. This third-person adventure game features horror elements and follows Komaru Naegi as she tries to survive in a city overrun by Monokuma robots. The game takes place in the aftermath of the tragic events of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, and offers a darker, action-oriented perspective on the series' trademark trial scenes and storytelling.

Critic Reviews
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls -- This queenless kingdom
Another Episode may not be the game that some Danganronpa fans want, but it’s the game that the series needs. The spin-off shows that there is substance for this series outside the walls of Hope’s Peak while maintaining enough ties to its core story to feel essential. Danganronpa tackles shooting and action with the same confidence it does mystery and storytelling, and Another Episode stands proud next to the masterfully crafted visual novels from which it spawned.

Slightly above average or simply inoffensive. Fans of the genre should enjoy them a bit, but a fair few will be left unfulfilled.
