This is a tough one to rate with an easy yes or no. It's a really ambitious title and I love the premise. The gameplay is fantastic. A turn based tactics game has never felt so fast paced and dynamic. The story has an incredibly strong start and the pay off at the end is quite good as well. I cant overstate how much I love this game from this development team, and the way they subvert the usual killing game genre by …

It’s a 200 hours game, I have a lot to say about it, but I know people looking in Steam reviews mostly just want a short yes or no. Yes, I do recommend Hundred Line. However, I think most people will not enjoy or want to experience it fully, to say the “100 endings” that the game advertises. That’s simply because most of those endings do not have the same amount of investment as the clearly two more well developed …

It's 200 hours of weaboo garbage. If you were really into Danganronpa this game will be like crack cocaine. Definitely my game of the year, i'm not sure if a game of this scope will ever be created again. Hats off to Kodaka and Uchikoshi, this really is their Magnum opus. Love and Peace, baby!

this is a game i recommend in the same way people recommend homestuck. this game will change you as a person, both in how it's extremely good and in how it's extremely bad. it will change the way you view the medium, and as a gamedev myself i am very much taking notes. Here's some of those notes. -The way this game does pacing and flow, especially early on in the 40-hour first act, is incredible. The game mixes up …

Ultimately, one of the few games worth $60. You might love it. You might hate it. A monument to the creators' ambition. Art in both the sense of the game itself and what playing the game constitutes - If you get all 100 endings, you emerge a changed person. Potentially a worse one. I don't know. I'm not you. I'm not your mother. Buy it. Play it. Burn a candle at the shrine.

85% of the 261 Steam reviewers we collected recommend The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy-. The complaint that keeps coming up: repetitive gameplay and unskippable animations. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy garnered "generally favorable reviews", according to review aggregator site Metacritic. Both reviews in Eurogamer and Nintendo Life complimented the narrative for its frequent plot twists and compelling nature, with the Eurogamer reviewer wishing that some passages later in the game were a bit shorter. Nintendo Life and The Verge complimented the characters and their over-the-top nature, while a Nintendo World Report reviewer wrote: "If you don't vibe with Kodaka's style of writing these highly exaggerated characters, I'm not sure The Hundred Line will change your mind," while concluding that "if you have enjoyed the large casts of a Danganronpa game,…

After 6 months, 357 hours of (admittedly inflated due to time spent AFK, the game probably won't take you quite this long) play time, and countless nights spent gaping at my screen in complete and utter disbelief, I have finally completed Hundred Line. 100% completion, all 100 endings.

positive · AI labelView post →At first, a game with a hundred branching endings sounds exciting, but overall it's somewhat lacking in polish. A few paths are solid, but most feel loosely assembled. Some endings are locked behind others, and parts of the narrative meander without cohesion. Cutting down the number of endings and tightening the storytelling would have made for a much stronger experience. It's a distinctive idea that only a game could attempt, but it's not something I can easily recommend. Even so, I still…

neutral · AI labelView post →This visual novel was a pretty good read, but, the 150 hours to fully beat it were hell. Skipping fights still has the fight take like 5 minutes to get through due to unskippable animations and transitions. Every day, there's an unskippable banner showing the current day, as well as a night time and a morning announcement, which can somewhat be skipped, but you still gotta wait through the transitions. I must have spent at least 20 hours in my playthrough just on all those pointless…
