The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy-

A very ambitious game, that is mostly good. The Hundret Line is a visual novel with tactical combat elements. The story told here features a story that is for the most part decent and in some parts excellent, but does have a lot of flaws as well. Over the course of the game, you can make choices, wich will put the story on different paths. These paths vary drastically in quality, wich is a bit of an issue, because all of the paths are very long and if you want to achieve all possible endings of the story, you will be playing this game for a very long time. Depending on how much you skip, you should at least expect 100 hours of playtime, but if you read every line, fight every battle and want to truly 100% this game, expect 200 hours and more. In terms of storytelling, we have more or less the same way Danganronpa was written. If you played games of that series, you know what to expect. The characters here also very strongly characterized, with every one of them having a few topics or tropes they fill. The combat in this game is nice, but nothing like what a true battle heavy game would do. I very much enjoyed it, but due to the multiple paths element of the story, you will be fighting the exact same battles dozens of times with barely and variation. This is a massive flaw and makes battles very annoying, except for the few speacial battles that occur only once during specific paths. Overall the battle system is very fun and some of the battles are tough even on normal difficulty, so I had my fun with it. Would I recommend this game? Maybe. You need to be ready to invest a lot of time into this game. You also need to remember a lot of stuff, to not get confused by what story path you are actually on and what has happened this time. I enjoyed it quite a lot and think it is worth it's money even at full price. If you like visual novels and want to experience and very long story and are willing to overlook the bad parts, than this might be for you.
