NoobFeed editor Faviyan writes - Your experience with The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy will leave you eager to dive back into its blend of story and strategy. Your choices shape the narrative in this game and remain a compelling fusion of narrative depth.
CCG writes - "The first run of one hundred days doesn’t have many choices or opportunities to change the story. That is rectified in subsequent playthroughs as there are one hundred endings to experience. Many of the endings are depressing, but there are some relatively happy ones too. I like that battles can be skipped, but some still need to be replayed regardless and this will make replays a bit longer as a result. If you don’t mind the moral concerns, there is a lot to do and enjoy in The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy-."
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Last Defense Academy has a lot of disparate parts working simultaneously, but it never creates any sort of disharmony. If anything, the visual novel, turn-based strategy, resource collection, and relationship management aspects complement and reinforce each other, creating a product far greater than the sum of its parts. Yes, it's true that everything, ultimately, serves the narrative, which sometimes goes on auto-pilot, but with such strong storytelling and with so many unexpected twists, it's hard to complain. If you're a visual novel skeptic, worry not; there's a lot here to sink your teeth into, mechanically. And if you're a visual novel fan, what are you doing still reading this review? Go get the game already."
