Will Tribe Nine Hit a Grand Slam?

While Danganronpa's popularity might have waned somewhat, its innovative blend of art and murder-mystery gameplay once set it apart in the visual novel landscape. Tribe Nine aims to capture that same magic, but faces stiff competition in the saturated mobile ARPG market. Its unique aesthetic is a strong point, but it needs a compelling gameplay hook to truly stand out.
