YMMV / Exile Election

• Ensemble Dark Horse: According to a recent popularity poll Hakushu Isumi and Yuuri Himeno won the poll in the 1st and 2nd place respectively, beating the two leads Kaname and Ichika. Michimune Isurugi is another character who placed high in the poll
• Ho Yay: There's a scene of Yuuri clinging to Kaname and crying◊, which would be pretty much Ship Tease in a dating sim.
• They Copied It, So It Sucks!: The fans of Danganronpa have been angry at the game, due to believing it to be a poor copy of several other titles (particularly DR) that adds nothing to a genre known for its outside-the-box ideas. The game was also announced a little while before the release of Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, and characters trailers were released following the Japanese launch of the game, at which point, DR fans were up in a Flame War due to controversial plot twists of the game and Exile Election just became more fuel to the fire.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: While the player can decide which participants Kaname targets, Alice repeatedly inflicting Laser-Guided Amnesia upon the survivors after each successful election and exile removes much of their ability to react to the losses, aside from Wistful Amnesia.
