The Hundred Line – Last Defense Academy: A Game Worth Remembering
So, like, I’m not a huge fan of tactical RPGs, you know? But then I stumbled upon The Hundred Line – Last Defense Academy, and let me tell you, it’s been quite the ride. I mean, I wouldn’t go as far as saying I’m a die-hard fan of the genre now, but this game? Yeah, it’s something special, man.
Characters That Stick With You
Before we dive into the juicy stuff, let’s talk about the characters first. The gang at The Hundred Line — Takumi Sumino, Darumi Amemiya, Shouma Ginzaki, Nozomi Kirifuji, and the rest — they’re like the heart and soul of this game. Directors Kazutaka Kodaka and Kotaro Uchikoshi really hit the mark here, making each character unique and lovable in their own quirky way.
Take Tsubasa Kawana, for example. Whenever she’s stressed, she pukes. Sounds gross, I know, but it’s actually pretty funny. And the best part? We get to learn about her past, like how she bonded with her grandpa over fixing cars. It’s these little details that make you care about the characters, you know? And let me tell you, when the story took a dark turn, seeing Tsubasa dry heave was oddly comforting in a weird way.
Time Travel and Endless Possibilities
Now, here’s where things get wild. When you reach the end of the basic timeline, you find out that Takumi can time travel back to day one and change the whole story. Like, whoa, right? You can explore different paths, make new choices, and unlock a ton of endings. It’s like Nier Automata on steroids!
And hey, you don’t have to replay the game a hundred times. The story branches out naturally, leading to various endings. Some are short, some are long, some are good, some are downright tragic. Like, picture this: your friends turning into zombies and munching on the samurai dude. It’s bonkers, man, but in a good way.
Battle Your Way to Victory
I gotta say, the battles in The Hundred Line are top-notch. I usually suck at tactical RPGs, but this game? It just clicks, you know? The turn-based system is smooth, and the diverse character designs make it easy to strategize. Trust me, after a few battles, you’ll be a pro at exploiting their strengths and weaknesses.
But hey, if you mess up a battle (like I did a couple of times), no worries. The game lets you retry with a major boost, giving you a fighting chance. Some might call it cheating, but hey, it’s all about having fun, right?
The Future of The Hundred Line
In a world where Danganronpa reigns supreme, The Hundred Line – Last Defense Academy shines bright. It’s selling well, but not enough peeps are talking about it. Trust me, though, this game is a hidden gem that deserves more love.
So, have you played The Hundred Line yet? Who’s your favorite character? What’s your go-to ending? Let me know in the comments, yo.
