The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- Reviews
The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- is the exact game Kodaka, Uchikoshi and co. promise it is, in every way. Those already familiar with these authors' work will receive something that is, at the same time, well within expectations and completely out there, all wrapped up in the form of a fun and challenging tactical RPG. Even those who don't have time for all the endings should come and meet the Special Defense Unit.

The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is a massive game with interesting characters, high stakes, and dozens of endings. It can be a lot of fun, but it can also be overwhelming if you try to take everything on offer simultaneously.
A fun and unforgettable visual novel/SRPG that's an amalgamation of different genres, yet somehow works to form a sprawling narrative of epic proportions.
The Hundred Line: -Last Defense Academy- is an ambitious, experimental, and slightly bizarre strategy game with strong tactical battles and a unique setting, but its uneven story, sluggish pacing, and excessive dialogue may test your patience—especially if you're expecting a new Danganronpa.

The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is an utterly unhinged game, with incredible characters, exceptional combat and a whole lot of style.
The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- uses a familiar foundation to deliver an unforgettable experience that is rich in suspense and thrills. Kazutaka Kodaka and Kotaro Uchikoshi bring everything they’ve learned about storytelling to a combat-heavy experience. The result is a thrilling blend of visual novel and JRPG elements that is also rich with callbacks to the Danganronpa series.
Hundred Line has so many things going for it and none of them are half-assed. If you're a fan of tactical RPG's, you'll love it.
The very idea of bringing together the minds behind Danganronpa and Zero Escape will be enough to get many fans of this genre in the door. They’ll find that The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- is an incredibly ambitious title which may not have some of what they expect in the early going, but will ultimately give them everything they’re looking for and more.
The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is an excellent strategy RPG that follows the same aesthetics and themes of the Danganronpa series while being an entirely different game and IP. The game offers a straightforward combat system that's easy to pick up and play while offering some challenging battles. In addition, The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy brings an intriguing and eccentric cast of characters with a compelling narrative and shock value at some points of the story.
The Hundred Line Last Defense Academy does not shine in any of its aspects, offering gameplay models with bland and shallow mechanics. The characters are little more than literary archetypes, and yet the hours spent in the title's company flew by. All credit to the writing of Kazutaka Kodaka and Kotaro Uchikoshi, who succeeded in trapping me in a maelstrom of unanswered questions, mysterious killings, and plot twists. The events are dense and never boring, stimulating curiosity enough to want to consume the title in the blink of an eye and unravel its mysteries. If you are looking for a deep dating sim, as well as a tactical RPG, The Hundred Line Last Defense Academy will definitely not be for you. If, on the other hand, you want to immerse yourself in a whimsical visual novel with grotesque overtones, with elements plucked here and there from other genres, this title coming out on April 24 will definitely do the trick.
