The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy-

this truly was our hundred line

Plus un visual novel qu'un jeu de tactique, The Hundred Line est une histoire aux mille intrigues, touffue et généreuse. Peut-être un peu trop d'ailleurs. Si vous avez aimé à la fois les plot twists de Danganronpa et les mystères des jeux Zero Escape, alors vous kifferez sans doute The Hundred Line, mais ce kiff a un prix : le jeu est atrocement long pour en voir le bout, et c'est encore pire pour voir absolument tout ce que le jeu a à proposer. Même si l'écriture va souvent à l'essentiel (assez rare pour un jeu japonais), elle est englobée de textes répétitifs qu'on peut heureusement sauter pace qu'au bout d'un moment entendre pour la millième fois l'annonce de dodo ou de réveil, ça saoule un peu. Mais le problème c'est qu'on s'attache aux personnages, à ce monde un peu injuste, et on a envie de totu savoir, d'élucider tous les mystères qu'on nous montre. Malheureusement certains ne serotn pas forcément traités comme on le voudrait (dans le sens, c'est pas traité du totu quoi.) Donc c'est difficile de réellement en vouloir à un jeu qui a tant à offrir. Reste que si les grandes histoires un peu tentaculaires ne vous rebutent pas, alors foncez, c'est un vrai banger de 2025.

*Disclaimer: at the time I wrote this review, I had completed Routes 0, 1, and 42.* I should say that I didn’t hesitate before buying this game. Even though it is expensive, I am a fan of Danganronpa, and I have also played RainCode+, so it was easy for me to give this game a chance. The game has greatly improved in its visuals and 3D models. The story handles emotional scenes very well. Even though some plot twists were predictable, many others still surprised me. The character designs are very unique. Even though I don’t like every character, overall I really like them. About the language, I played in English. I’m not very good at it and I don’t play many visual novels. Sometimes the writing feels too “novel-like,” which makes it harder to translate. Also, it doesn’t always sound like how real people speak, and some English jokes are very specific and hard to understand. Sometimes I also feel the gameplay can be a bit too long and tiring, especially the exploration part. It feels exhausting when players need to collect resources to upgrade characters, equipment, and craft gifts. That part feels very long. After finishing it, having to switch to turn-based battles can feel tiring in the same day. However, near the end of the game, these systems become faster, which I’m okay with. In conclusion, I really like this game. I was not disappointed at all. Even though it took more time than I expected, I don’t regret spending any money on it. I hope everyone enjoys playing games, and I hope you can open your mind to different games. Sometimes happiness might be closer than you think.

Where did my time go man

This is probably the best piece of interactive fiction ever put in a video game. It is definitely not for everyone; if you dislike weird/dark humor and somewhat repetitive gameplay, this game probably isn't for you. If you can look past that, this is truly an amazing experience. All of the characters are enjoyable in their own strange ways. On paper, a game where you're spending 120+ hours with a group of weirdos and perverts is not something I'd want to play, however all of the characters in Hundred Line feel more than just a gimmick or stereotype. The various endings let you see sides of characters you wouldn't have normally. It's very hard to explain what about the story itself is so enjoyable without outright spoiling it. I don't think anyone can possibly be prepared for what Hundred Line has in store. There's multiple times where you feel like you have everything all figured out before a new revelation found in the "Everyone Is Haunted By Evil Ghosts Route" (nonsense joke route) changes everything you thought you knew. The gameplay is also much more fun than I expected. Its a very offense-oriented take on a tactics RPG. Characters dying in combat is almost encouraged, as they come back after the wave is over. You can even have dying characters use a special attack for free on their way out. It's not a particularly hard game combat wise; most of the difficulty comes in routes where your team is limited in characters. As I said before, the game isn't for everyone so I highly recommend checking out the demo if you are interested; progress carries over to the full game. It is also very playable and enjoyable on Steam Deck, which is where the majority of my playtime was done. This game will probably stick with me for a long time. I highly recommend at least checking it out.

Peak.

Overall great game. Some parts get stale (hard to avoid with such a long playtime), but great nevertheless.
