Kumitantei Blends Anime Murder and Card Battles
If you love stories about murder mysteries set in schools, then you’ll want to keep an eye out for this upcoming anime thriller game! Mango Factory has released the demo and voice acting cast to their new game, Kumitantei: Old School Slaughter.
Kumitantei: Old School Slaughter is inspired by Danganronpa, a game series where a psychopathic bear isolates a group of characters and pushes them to kill one another. Characters are interesting and unique, hoping that your favorites won’t be the next victim or killer. It’s a classic anime thriller game with solid murder mystery elements that make the series very appealing.
It’s obvious why Mango Factory would want take inspiration from Danganronpa for their own game. However, they spice things up by putting their own twist on things. This comes from their addition of a card battler gameplay loop, where cards are gained by interacting with characters.
It’s a unique system that pushes you to connect with the other characters in the world. As a result, the characters grow on you because the of the gameplay, and making the deaths of your favorites hurt even more as a result. It’s a satisfying use of gameplay to bolster the story.
