After 40 hours of tactical battles and disturbing twists, I rolled credits on Last Defense Academy — and it became clear I’d only just started seeing the game’s depth.
The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is one of the most indulgent games I’ve ever played, a clear example of what happens when visionary creators are allowed to run wild. It’s a bizarre fusion of Danganronpa, Persona, and Groundhog Day that somehow turns into an impressively cohesive package. It’s one of the most unique RPGs I’ve seen in the last decade, and it takes a tremendous risk by pushing its “formula” to the breaking point. Last Defense Academy is a very specific kind of game made for a very specific kind of player, but if you can buy into its vision, there’s something truly incredible to uncover here.
