Slayhem Mode
Danganronpa 2x2 lets players experience Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair in two different modes. Players can choose between the revamped scenario in "Original" mode, which retells the story from the 2012 release with enhanced visuals and updated presentation for modern game systems, and "Slayhem" mode which features a new scenario based on Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, but completely different storyline. Both options are available from the start of the game.
In "Slayhem" a certain incident triggers a dramatically different chain of events with different victims, culprits, and tricks. Slayhem offers approximately 20% more content than Original mode.
World Map
The World Map has undergone a major update in Danganronpa 2x2. Whereas Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair featured a side-scrolling map for traveling between locations, Danganronpa 2x2 introduces a 3D World Map that gives players a clearer sense of the island's layout. Players can navigate the island however they prefer, whether by freely running across the map or instantly traveling to a selected destination. The 3D map, when displayed from a first-person perspective, also evokes a tropical atmosphere.
