Idol Death Game TV was released last october. I reviewed Lost Dimension in 2014, another mediocre game featuring the exact same vote to kill in a dungeon rpg setting with tactical-rpg gameplay. Overall games, anime and mangas inspired by the "Mafia" traditional game are pretty common, Danganronpa's only originality on that front is making the voting system a gameplay element first. |
Both Lost Dimension & Idol Death Game TV released after DanganRonpa; both were clearly heavily inspired by it.
I'm sure those mechanics did exist before then, I'm not really arguing that. DanganRonpa is the game that brought them more into the mainstream thanks to its success. Hence the increase in clones we're seeing lately (especially on Vita).
