XSEED Games, TooKyo Games and Media Vision have confirmed a release date for The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy on Nintendo Switch.
This has seen Danganronpa series creator Kazutaka Kodaka and Zero Escape series creator Kotaro Uchikoshi team up for the first time to direct and write the scenario for this new adventure game.
The storyline centres on its main character Takumi Sumino, who lived an ordinary but peaceful life with his family and childhood friends in the Tokyo Residential Complex. However, that was soon shattered by the sudden appearance of an unknown assailant.
After a mysterious entity called SIREI enables Takumi to awaken the unique ability Hemoanima, he uses it to escape the dire situation that he is in. He is then forced by SIREI to transfer to the Last Defense Academy.
Fifteen students have been brought together who SIREI gives the sole objective of defending the school for 100 days against an attacking enemy, the School Invaders, to save humanity.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Extreme Despair-Filled Endings: Takumi’s choices will decide his future, but there’s no telling what kind of consequences these decisions might have…
- Defensive Battles: When the invaders attack, it’s up to Takumi to protect the school in tactical RPG battles. Use each student’s unique Specialist Skills to turn the tide of battle in his favor!
- Free Time & Exploration: Spend time with Takumi’s teammates to deepen his bonds with them, or explore the wilderness and ruins outside the school. Players can even use the items found to craft gifts and get even closer to Takumi’s allies.
The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 24 April 2025.
