started #TheHundredLine Last Defense Academy and first impressions are wow this game looks *really* nice. the graphics are super sharp on my Switch OLED, I thought RAIN CODE looked amazing but they've improved things even more with the character portraits and cutscenes in this

story is bonkers as you would expect from Kodaka

I'm liking this a lot, still early days (I'm on day 4/100) and only had one battle, but the story is intriguing

Darumi favorite character, she really wants to be in a Danganronpa or Zero Escape game, and not this one 😆 also I squee'd at the Persona reference

after playing quite a bit more today I'm really liking #TheHundredLine!

when you're not battling it plays just like Danganronpa, and the story and dialog is great, and really funny in places

I said the other day there is really no-one else that makes games like this, they have a really unique style that I just love

some more things I like about this game: the soundtrack, it's another Masafumi Takada banger. gonna keep checking Amazon Japan for a CD release!

some of the skill names are great, one of the characters has a skill called "intestinal laceration" 😄

at day 11/100 and it feels like the story is only just getting started

I'm really starting to like the battle system in this game, it's deceptively simple on the surface, but has a lot of hidden depth to it. the game is introducing new characters, mechanics, and unique skills at a slow enough pace that you don't get overwhelmed

only got a C rank in the last battle though, had S in every one so far before that 😥

so far haven't seen anywhere to check your previous scores or replay battles though

it's official, #TheHundredLine now has a rating of "fucking excellent" from me. I have no idea where the story is going but I am fully onboard for this ride

the character and monster designs are great, the soundtrack is banging, and I'm really getting into the battle system (back to S rank on the last battle)

one thing I really appreciate is that it plays like a Danganronpa game, but without the teenage edgelord humour and gross torture/execution scenes

wow that we a hard battle, 4 separate waves with a boss in wave 4 (you get a full heal between waves and any characters who have been killed are brought back to life)

had to restart a couple of waves to get my strategy worked out. really fun combat system in this game

now at day 30/100

#TheHundredLine

this game is utterly bananas

#TheHundredLine

BANANAS

and also very funny, the last few days in game have been quite... something 😄 I don't think I could fully explain what just happened

day 44/100

#TheHundredLine

this game... 😆
there isn't a bad character in this game, the art and writing is fantastic and utterly deranged

was getting ready to curse this game for railroading me into a course of action that I did not want to pursue, but things turned around and it worked out

still think the protag is a dick for going along with Ima and trying to persuade Kako not to fight, rather than telling him to fuck off (and this is after Ima stabbed Takemaru, too!)

@COMPU73E yeeeah, so I think given how Kako was routinely forced to normalise having zero agency, her particular polite and gentle pushback is the best she could do and all, I still wished that she threw Takumi into the pool for that shit.
