If Michel Foucault and Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide have taught me anything, it's this: School is a prison. Beneath the plastic cafeteria trays and suffocating aroma of Lynx Africa lies a tyrannical order delineated by strict social hierarchies, and if you want to survive till graduation, your only option is to walk in, find the biggest guy there, and deck him.
Troublemaker, a kind of budget Yakuza from Indonesian studio Gamecom Team, understands this. You take on the role of Budi, a misunderstood tough guy whose constant brawling has led his mother to transfer him to "one of Indonesia's finest high schools". She should have, like, taken a tour of it or something first, though, because it rapidly becomes apparent that the new school is just as violent as Budi's old one.
