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.
