The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy-

I finished the game in 131 hours with all the endings. I kind of dropped back to Safety difficulty because of time constraints... and motivation. In the end, I decided to give it a thumbs-up, but it’s a very mixed one: the first 40 hours were really good, there’s suspense, mystery, and even the “normal” ending hits surprisingly hard (like, really hard)... That said, not everything is perfect: you can definitely recognize Kazutaka Kodaka’s touch, but compared with his work on Danganronpa, it’s much more predictable overall. The gameplay loop is fairly quick, which feels nice at first... unfortunately, it’s also very short. There isn’t as much variety as in Danganronpa, with only three major gameplay pillars: combat, persuasion, and exploration. The tactical side is fun in concept: the members of the Special Defense Unit all have their own quirks and kits that feel distinct enough. The idea of being able to reuse the same character while severely limiting their movement turns the battlefield into a puzzle, and it’s genuinely satisfying to wipe out enemies before they even get a turn. Those enemies, however, are all very similar, and the bosses don’t add that much variety either... and you also have to deal with an extremely limited pool of maps. Character upgrades aren’t useless, but absolutely nothing feels game-changing. All of that means the game has a solid foundation... but it just isn’t developed enough, which becomes even more frustrating when you run into how repetitive the game can be. The persuasion sections try to recapture the idea behind Danganronpa’s Non Stop Debates, but with only two characters, they clearly don’t have the same tension or presentation, so it’s hard to feel fully hyped. Exploration takes the form of a board game and is used only to gather resources to upgrade skills or manage bonding events with the other members of the SDU. The problem is that the spaces, the events tied to them, and even your movement are all governed entirely by RNG... Sure, the different gameplay aren’t especially deep by themself, but it moves along quickly enough that it works... as long as you stick to the main story. Because yes, you basically need to sit through those 100 days at least 21 times, on top of dealing with branching paths that aren’t always very well justified. And even if the pacing stays strong enough to keep you curious, and even if the different routes keep a largely consistent cast, I personally would have preferred something more tightly constructed instead of pastiches of shonen, horror, and comedy... And I have quite a few issues with the “Uchikoshi” route, which mostly feels like it’s trying to stitch several routes together without really providing a definitive ending... in fact, it ignores quite a lot of what happens in the normal ending... and even the prologue’s cliffhanger is just... ignored! Some of the lore surrounding the Invaders and parasites also deserved to be explored in more depth. Musically, it’s decent, with a few standout tracks (Inherited Life is going to give me PTSD because of what it’s associated with...), but a lot of it feels very... sometimes too close to what I’ve already heard in Danganronpa. Overall, I still come away with a positive recommendation, but only barely... especially if you’ve already played Danganronpa.

Good story. Gameplay is also pretty fun

Как человек прошедший эту игру полностью, хочу сказать, что это было замечательное приключение. С уверенностью могу посоветовать эту игру не смотря на то, что она не идеальна (ряд сценариев написаны хуже других, и не всех персонажей раскрыли одинаково хорошо).

Kako.

通关一年多了来补个评价 开卖前被小高吹上天，加上在平台的各种抽象宣传第一时间预购了。 实际游玩体验太失望。战斗系统无趣，剧情一半时间在水。不是很想支持百日战纪。 希望小高今年2x2能整点活，就算是v3那种烂活也比百日这种没活的来的好。

幹你小高 我被迫目睹同伴不停死亡 但完成真結局是真的爽
