Hundred Line Defense

I don't get it. Why do they refer to Nigou as "he" while she has a female voice and is represented as a female in human form?

also "MR Nigou" in the description.

its a robot, it doesnt matter how you call it

can i call it nigger instead?

bros...

How come the localization for this game was completely fucked with compared to Rain Code? Aren't both by the same company?

which student would blow their money on gacha?

Gaku no doubt.

best girl is with you from the start

It's true. I just unlocked the 5 IQ samurai and the tomato head, but they only served to highlight the clown chud's absence.

I dunno. Is this really worth $60? Everyone I know loves it but they never post about the gameplay and rpg aspects

dumbass

Doesn't answer my concerns.

gameplay aspect its the weakest part of the game
its mostly advanced version of 999 or Ever17 with many routes and choice so people avoid engaging to avoid spoilers

Is this really worth $60?

I don't know.
I bought it because I genuinely liked the insane writing and character designs. I normally don't play story centric games at all, much less VNs, but this one hooked me, a tacticsfag.
No one talks about the gameplay because it's not that interesting. Serviceable, a chance of pace from the VN section, but it's not winning any awards in the TRPG genre. So the logical conclusion is people are playing it in spite of the tactics, not because of.

You're such a retard it actually pisses me off.

I remember they also refer to nigou as 'kare' in japanese

I'm almost close to buying this game. Give me a good reason why I should.

vehxness route is peak
we can have 8 endings of comedy slop but we cant have an happy end with her?

I'm so fucking tired of filler. Just give me the true ending already.

Is this really worth $60?

the game was interesting enough for me to decide to pirate it, but is it worth that kind of money? never in my life
I've only played through the "prologue" of the game, and I'm on day 50 of my second playthrough, and honestly, I'm terribly bored.
The tactical gameplay is super tedious and repetitive, gathering resources and walking around the map is basically a fucking monopoly, and the plot is terribly drawn out.
The fact that someone announce to tell you something that finally has some some plot significance and then he dies/disappears/forgets about it is fucking annoying, you literally have to sit through 50 hours of grinding and dull slice of life chitchat to to learn anything significant about the world.
the fact that you can later speak the invaders language but decide to keep killing them instead of asking them why they call you invaders is also hyper annoying
Once I finish my current run I'll probably uninstall it and wait for some autist to upload a YT video with the lore explanation, because there is no way in hell I'm wasting even more time on this shit show.
When i play this game it reminds me of pic real. Truth is slightly stretched since in reality VN usually are long but they are not as tedious and they are not blue balling you with lore like HND.
So like i said, it is definitely not worth the money and more importantly time, especially sine translation is horrendous, sometimes it makes me cringe so hard i have to take a break from reading.

TLDR
No, just wait for lore dump on yt

cringe loser

cool, I still ain't buying your game kodaka

No one talks about the gameplay because it's not that interesting

The gameplay is honestly pretty good but then Kodahacka simply decided to scrap the entire fucking thing. There desperately needed to be more fucking variety, enemies and challenge. Every single battle plays the exact same way once you get desperation potions. Even the supposedly super heckin hard fights against dommy mommy that you're supposed to lose make no sense because I can easily damage her entire 99 HP lifebar and then I am forced to deal 0 damage against her for 2 more turns because muh plot

killing game route

day 086

Eito is revealed as the second sponsor

he promises to reveal the truth

RETARD PUKE GIRL WHO KEKED TAKUMI WITH A LESBIAN DECIDES TO KILL HIM BEFORE WE CAN GET SOME ANSWERS

Man some of these routes "bad endings" just highly depend on the characters being driven to the stupidity, huh?

I don't see what makes it good desu. Even before potions, it's trivial to wipe the map in a couple turns, sometimes 1 turn, because of how AP economy works. If you get a bruiser like Eito, Hiruko, or Jumonji - and then stack some attack boosts on them - it just creates this ridiculous rollaway juggernaut momentum when you prioritize the +1 AP enemies, and start adding in the voltage ultimate attacks, etc. Everything is just ramps up way too rapidly and the game is not built to handle it. It's generally a bad idea to have these Galeforce / Raging Storm (to borrow from FE) type self-refresh mechanics in a tactics game, unless you VERY carefully balance it.
I do still enjoy the gameplay in a brainless kind of way, it's kinda fun to see how far you can push things, but if you want a good version of this that is still very breakable in the latter stages of progression, play Metal Slug Tactics.

Come into the thread expecting discussion of the game

It's just all shitposting

Alright, guess the fun period on this board is over. Just going to finish it up on my own.

anon you're supposed to avoid the localization seethe/shitpost containment threads
there is a secret hundred line thread on Anon Babble where people are actually discussing the game

invader tries telling Takumi something

"AIIIIIIIEEEEEEE HE'S GOING TO KILL ME!!!!"

invader shows up again when it's raining and there's lightning

Takumi, the retard that he is, probably slips and knocks himself out

"THE INVADER GOT ME AIIIEEEEE"

invader leads him to fake Moko

"FUCKING INVADER REEEEEEEE"

prisoner escapes

"....AIIEEEEEEE IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE INVADER, IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANYONE ELSE"

someone sabotages everything

"invaderinvaderinvaderinvaderinvaderinvaderinvaderinvaderinvader"

My god. It's been a long time since a main character got so much on my nerves. He's an absolute moron, there are so many hints about shit yet he ignores them all and instead lazes around all day and when shit goes down, because he didn't care to incestigate/participate/whatever, he just keeps blaming everything on the invader or something else.

This. You can't put Hundred Line in the subject or comment fields, or else techopse@ will find it and samefag it to hell.

yep hate the retard pukey after this route and V'ehxness route

It's actually incredible how retarded Takumi is and how easily he gets swept into other people's logic and reasoning. I don't like it, but I give it much more of a pass than if this was a killing game setup, because then I promise you that he'd have an assistant character who does all the actual thinking for you.

He's the sherlock in mystery route, I haven't finished it to the end but I hope there will be explanations as to why he suddenly has 200 IQ out of nowhere

I haven't finished it to the end but I hope there will be explanations as to why he suddenly has 200 IQ out of nowhere

I haven't finished it either, and I only have 7 endings so far and not a lot of answers, but I can ASSUME some of his memories get retained throughout the different timelines.

the explanation is different writers for different routes

Eva is cute. Which routes have more Eva?

The Eva Route duh.

Yeah, I understand the writers don't want the MC to be too smart and figure everything out before the player but this is just too much. A character will literally tell Takumi to his face that she wants to learn more about him and what will he do? Say that it's not the right time to talk, we have to focus on defending the school while he does literally nothing for the next few days.

I truly hope it gets better in other routes since I'm still on the introductory one but at this point I just want it to be over. There's nothing satisfying about this. I was kind of excited when one of the commanders (early spoilers) took off her helmet and they captured her (how the fuck no one thought about taking their mask off before that is just baffling), only for it to lead nowhere. Everyone also completely forgets about Hiruko after a few days. Now they're worrying about Ima but I bet after these next few free time days pass, something else will happen and they will completely forget about him too apart from Kako.

…That checks out.

Tell me about black crime statistics

Man what even is this

Yeah, that commander bit that leads to nowhere is definitely a stalled plot point until the other routes.

Do I even want to play routes not written by kodaka or uchikoshi

I'll admit, I was extremely skeptical at the start but this route is absolute kino.

Killing game route

not written by either Uchikoshi nor Kodaka

What the actual fuck did they mean by this

how do you know what routes are written by whom without looking them up
are there actually routes not written by either?

You can see in the credits. From what I hear Uchikoshi at least oversaw the other routes to make sure people didn’t stray too far from how Kodaka wrote them

No. Nintendo did Rain Code's localization. Kodaka hired one of the worst rated and cheapest localization companies in japan for Hundred Line

Round 1/4 is over

go to step 3

those 100 endings would be worth it if it wasn't OVER AND OVER AGAIN the same schedule of Battle->free time->exploration->battle etc. I'm so sick of tactic and exploration mini games. I wish the game had like 30 Day limit and 30 endings max. Game is a fucking filler fiesta. Imagine if Danganronpa added like 100 hours of hangman gambit between chapters

gameplay aspects are good enough but they eventually fade into the background to let the story become the main focus. Which is good since there's not enough to the gameplay to last the 200+ hours you are going to spend playing through every route.

I DON'T WANT NOZOMI KIRIFUJI I WANT KARUA
GIVE ME BACK KARUA

the story is very predictable and its frustrating when the MC can't figure out things the player figured out 50 hours earlier like entire subplot of Sirei and brainwashing

*patapatapata some monster noise*

NYAAWHOOHOOWOHOOOOO

For around 80% of the game i feel like in Danganronpa investigation and trial part of chapter 1. Every player knows its Leon name on the wall but waiting for the character to get to that point is so frustrating and this happens to most events in Hundred Line Defense. The most frustrating was literally nobody giving a shit about who are the invaders and why the fuck nobody questions why some tiny robot AI's are the commanders calling the shots and not actual human leaders

Exactly, I'm here for the story, not the gacha "game" level gameplay.
seconding this to.

this game is just not worth the time.

Kodaka should never design enemies in any game. Look like goofy Monokuma monsters from Ultra Despair Girls but with even uglier color scheme

invader alert goes off

Moko shows up, not even transformed, somehow past the wall of flames

nobody fucking questions this

Does the combat ever get interesting? Just about to clear day 100 and I end every wave in 1 or 2 turns. Exception was the final boss, but it was still easy as shit. Items are so spammable it's not even funny.
Is this another instance of a VN putting in gameplay but because the director cares more about their VN they didn't actually balance the gameplay?

How is kodaka so good at writing mentally ill boys…

I'm sorry Takumi, but Karua was never real.

Hey, at least the paragons have good designs
Turamtammi is mai waifu

retard kun kodaka is the writer, he didn't draw or design shit

what are your

0/10, must avoid routes

for me its comedy with slasher second for being so drawn out for what amounts to a nothingburger in the grand scheme of things

i fucking love this invader

Karua is cuter than Nozomi

What like MC deciding Nozomi totally isn't Karua and never EVER asks her about a scar on her stomach and the game has the balls to show you the flashback one more time near the end as if to imply the reader is a drooling retard who forgot that fact?

how to fix the gameplay of this game:
step 1 remove the potions
there is not step 2

It gets slightly harder. I'd suggest try to win battles without using items. Set a personal challenge, or something.
Literally everyone picks those two.

cucks you

how to fix the gameplay of this game:

make it even more tedious

KODAKA FIRE THIS MAN

Battles are still easy on any playthrough. The worst thing is that they are part of the "story" so you can't skip them as events are happening in the middle or in between waves

The only way to make battles challenging is if you don't upgrade any skill, trap and potion for the first 100 days

what route is worse than comedy route or killing game route

try boss rush route

It's tedious because it's too easy

What is the point not doing it? you dont get bond events until first 100 days pass and even then friendship bond is fucking ass, all characters just monologue and MC has no interaction with them like in Danganronpa. Free Time is mechanic to improve combat stats with minimal learning about characters tastes

If you're like me and you place yourself on the killing game route fairly early, you're stuck in constant battles with nearly no free time to ever upgrade your weapons and no commander absorptions to upgrade your voltage attacks.

serial battles route had potential but disappointed me. just 2 was still too easy. 4, maybe even 8 would probably be doable if we wanted to make it more of a challenge

I've seen some gameplay of this on youtube and it looks pretty fun, I've only played danganronpa 1 and 2 though. should I wait for a sale on this/pirate or is it worth full price?

Stop using potions and report back.
Spoiler: it will still be too easy, it will simply take longer.

Ding-dong bing bong

go to cafeteria

interaction

back to room

free time

rinse and repeat until battle alarm happens, bruh you either cut off some fat or you give more mini games or romance mechanic from Persona

but Nozomi isn't Karua

_____________________________________________________________

This story is so messy, sasuga. MC-kun's reset ability is actually part of the narrative and that's why he can go back in time by the end. This is never addressed in fights or the story by himself or other students up until the spooky fire ghost tells him lmao just go back in time bro

Set a personal challenge

I get what you're saying, but you can make anything harder with arbitrary challenges like nuzlockes. I'm not saying I can't try and gimp myself for challenge, but that the designers should have tried to make it challenging on their own. It's their job.

It's 100+ hours long, discussion about how many of these hours are actually meaningful aside, you are getting your money's worth.

I did and I've received my very first game over

or romance mechanic from Persona

Can't, this is a cuckold game

Battle always feel tedious. It might be because developers are only experienced in making Visual Novels and have zero idea on how to make a tactic/strategy game. I can't believe a hentai game focused on story and porn like Sengoku Rance came up with a more fun battle mechanics than combined minds of most famous Japanese story tellers

Guards, laugh at this man.

Wouldn't fix it
You still have the AP piñatas waiting to reward you voltage and attack boosts for free
You still have way too many actions per turn
Enemies still have no way of fighting back
I don't get why the enemies are so passive, weak, and so few can retaliate in any way

Pirate it, I got bored by day 10 and uninstalled.

to be fair, sengoku rance was like 7th in the series and each one had some sort of combat system

To be painfully fair, I've seen a lot of streamers who suck at games/strategy struggle immensely with the first few battles. This game needs to allow for a playerbase of VN-onlies.
They could have added difficulty modes. They probably could have added a mode which is the exact same but your characters/defense node have like, 60% less HP. I think trying to limit the defense node damage to 10-15HP per battle is a pretty solid challenge.

What route/day? Did you use fences? Do you have any attack upgraded to max? I wanna try this.

Bruh i would fucking go insane if i coudnt use the self harm potion and speed the battle through ultimate attacks. The problem is in its design. The enemy has no AI, its a mindless tower defense with badly designed enemies and maps, this shoudnt be a fucing base for a multiply route VN story

I don't want to give them money out of principle for the English localisation. It's not 100% awful, but they were unfaithful enough for me to justify not giving it money. The gameplay is pretty easy. The story is very, very long.

combat was done by the valkyria chronicles devs, you don't want what they consider more challenging. Their default game design heavily favors dumping all your AP on 1 or 2 units and having them do everything, that's obviously happening here. They spice things up via

making the objective to capture a base

if you rush the base it moves onto the next "wave" where new bases spawn, new enemies and potentially a boss spawn so whoever rushed the base might be horribly out of position and have to survive the enemy dumping their AP on them

bosses that 1 shot you if you're moving within their sight so you have to disable their attack from long range but you can only damage their health with short range units

enemies that can only be damaged by specialized units such as tank vs anti-tank or just spending extra AP to make every unit anti-tank

We're better off having the one turn puzzles in 100 line so we can move on with the VN content. If you want to see what the AP dump devs have to offer VC4 is usually cheap otherwise idk go play x-com or into the breach

They should have unironically leaned harder onto the refights being completely different or having routes just have certain gimmicks. They had a cool idea with one double fight but then never did it again or I haven't seen it yet
. The game just oozes lazy once the 'real game' picks up as well. Never gonna stop feeling retarded that the squad 0 commander was a fucking recolor of the first boss
One route you literally flame grenade Vexness to death but it isn't even incorporated into the gameplay at all.

What does S.F. stands for, I'm looking at the walkthrough and this specific route requires you to clear like 5 other routes to unlock so I'm curious

Steady Fundamental

a lot of streamers who suck at games

True. There is a journalist difficulty mode, though.

They could have added difficulty modes

This is what I assumed. When the two options were 'normal' and 'safety' (or whatever it was called), I assumed I'd unlock a hard mode later.

defense node damage to 10-15HP per battle

That would be better. For me, I think it's limiting how many times a specific character can act/how many items you can use. I stomped levels by spamming one or two units the whole time. I don't get what the narrative explanation is for Eito (or Gaku, or Takumi) being able to wipe the map of invaders in a single turn while they don't react and everyone else beats their meat in the corner.

does this have a jap dub option or are you stuck with the english dub?

I wish they give more goals than "kill everything" or "kill boss" but zero thoughts went into designing the battles. This is a tower defense and you literally have ONE character building turrets

Day 33 chapter 00_0_a-033 the one where you choose to save poorfag or tomato
I couldn't defeat the wave 4 guy in one turn because I couldn't use the desperation potion to use voltage attacks and it resets back to 0% at the start
Springboards are banned too

EOPs will never truly experience Hundred Line's story due to the sheer about of fanfiction rewrites, censorship and memes added into the english localization

Kinda sad

Yes, it plays like a VC game, except even cheesier and more braindead. I don't get their obsession with the AP/fatigue system. It isn't fucking working. I've dropped the 2 VC games I've started (1 & 4) about midway through, because they always devolve into a broken clusterfuck thanks to the unbalanced core mechanics.

Troon has a sexy voice. Might be artificially pitched tho

Ludonarratively I think the AP thing is stupid too. Everyone should get one AP, and then maybe killing an elite gives the character who did it an extra AP. Then everyone gets to participate.
Someone mod the game, hurry up

oh no the schizo is here

without too much spoilers how does the branching in this game work? is it like choices you make/if you pass or fail certain objectives?

Ya, if they gonna do combat in a game like this I would expect some sort of secret of Easter eggs you can do especially on alternative runs where you know something will happen after the battle, like if you beat certain enemy at the edge of the map under 3 turns you can avoid a character's death or something. but no, all battle is just time sink with no other purpose but to drag the game even longer than it should be.

Pic related happens

Taken out of the story because all I think when I see the goofy expression is Tom and Jerry or Looney Tunes where someone's eyes bug out as they hold a live explosive

and everyone else beats their meat in the corner

The edgy fujobait assassin faggot is definitely one of the meat beaters. Am I missing something with him, or is he the weakest character yet? Utterly useless personal ability and a weak starting attack.

very binary choices for the most part

Just finished Slasher. At first I was pissed I got the stupid zombie route first because it felt pointless but then I felt better after seeing that the real slasher route did seem to happen canonically after. Really tempted to do a re read because it’s pretty cute how terrified Hiruko is of being alone with Takumi. Early in most routes she’s always boasting about her strength so it must’ve been pretty humbling to get taken out instantly from not even a surprise attack, he chased her ass down into a dead end and she didn’t even fight back. He must’ve seemed especially unhinged when he got up and jumped through the window with the person that saved her. Seems a little shitty though that she just sat back and let Takumi massacre everyone, I already forget what excuse she said at the end as to why she just let it happen. I also feel bad for all the victims, I bet they were all heartbroken being betrayed by Takumi. Thinking about Kurara especially hurts my heart.

it's not just localization but pop culture too. the crossdresser that shouts dondake is an actual real person and i doubt anyone would know unless they keep up with japanese celebrities. foreigners will still be alienated even with an ideal translation

Actual choices in the VN segments. Also, leave and don't get spoiled.

strategy game with multiple in depth routes and stories

but the strategy game and maps are actually shit, overly repeated and easily broken by even the most casual players

so this game is basically fire emblem three houses?

He sounds more feminine than Kiyoshika and tomato head VA. It's fucking weird.

You have a linear common route for about 40 hours, and then you make clear branching decisions that lead you to the various routes and endings, such as “kill [character]” vs “don’t kill [character]”. There’s a flow chart that allows you jump around at anytime.

the one character building turrets loses all her built turrets when there's a new wave

woooow great design Mr Kodaka
very cool

Karua's dad died in a car accident

He swerved out the way of a pedestrian and that's why they crashed

He also somehow had the time to move out of his seat and shield Karua

Couldn't they have at least put a little effort into thinking of a plausible way for him to die and her to be injured? Just say she was lucky.

This game is a decent VN but with some of the most retarded and boring combat section being forced into it because the dev wants to beat the VN allegation

Three Houses made sure you couldn't cheese and rush bosses by giving them multiple health bars, at least.

should I just get the fitgirl repack?

I hate it when VN writers sacrifice simplicity of gameplay for gimmick mechanics. Yes it was refreshing seeing gameplay in Danganronpa and 999 but those were shorter games with healthy amount of breaks between gameplay. This one is trying to be a strategy game with additional VN content and it fails miserably. As a big fan of every Danganronpa and Zero Escape Games and entire Infinity saga and even Stein Gate/Chaos Head universe i can barely finish a second playthrough. How do they expect normies who try their first VN to enjoy this?

Alright gameplaychads, time for a GAMEPLAY related tier list
Why the fuck is Gaku a straight up better sniper than Kaku? What the shit Kodhacka, balance your fucking visual novel for fucks sake

just picking one of choices when the game stops and ask you for it, but only after first 100 days

why the fuck is bike bro in a, what does he EVEN do???

Eito

B

instantly dismissed

Eito is S tier
he's so broken

I wish they give more goals than "kill everything" or "kill boss" but zero thoughts went into designing the battles

It's a real shame. Something like base capture & deploying from bases could have made the movement speed difference between the students more meaningful. It almost feels like to me like part of Tsubasa's support was to transport other students but it got simplified into just giving them stat bonuses. Despite all it's problems VC4 still had some stuff that felt a little clever like not deploying your slow units until you capture a forward base and then deploying them from there so they could deal with some nearby tanks or something.

Yes, it plays like a VC game, except even cheesier and more braindead. I don't get their obsession with the AP/fatigue system. It isn't fucking working

100 line could still be way worse to play. I think simplifying it works here. Imagine if students had hit rate for attacks that only improves via leveling the attacks. It's insane that the bones of a solid tactical RPG were developed in 2002 with Breath of Fire DQ but not a single fucking game tried to iterate on that system. Everyone annoyed by 100 line's bad combat should just go play dragon quarter.

Hundred Line will be known as epic very extensive VN but only after official mods or patches are released that eliminate combat and exploration parts....

i think the mario party exploration part is fun actually...

He's decent once you max out his enrage skill so he can finally deal some fucking damage

He's not S tier because he's unavailable for 99% of the game. Plus he lacks Eva's waifu bonus

Announcement Flashbang > Cafeteria > Free Time > End of Day Announcement Flashbang

repeat 500x

My entire strategy is just MC spamming ultimate which only get stronger after first playthrough

ima and kako are underrated imo. the first thing i do in any battle is have kako chug a desperation potion and ima gets +2 attack for the rest of the wave. that makes him stronger and have longer reach than takemaru without spending any ap. using kako's special is another easy 100% gauge

yeah and straight up rework or remove comedy route

For the first two hours yes, until you eventually realize none of that shit matters and you might as well skip the whole exploration thing with cheat engine to make the experience less painful.

Does anyone even use Tsubasa for literally anything than drinking desperation potion and insta ulti to farm AP and power%?

I dislike mysteries info-dumping because there's no way to figure it out without information you couldn't know.
Eito being behind the killings makes sense, sure. He found the prisoner first (but no one saw or heard him stabbing them with their blood gushing out lol) and he was the only one from the start who clearly had a problem with what was going on. But setting up that Sirei can't be attacked by students except when Eito does it because he just got his ass so quickly and also snuck into Hiruko's room because lol and also Takumi just FORGOT to lock his door so Eito could hide under his bed lmao really stops me from engaging with the story. The writers are just making shit up after the fact.

using potions

You did not beat the game

She's perfect for mindless cleanup duty

Kako can hit for 4 with her move that she can’t move with and its range is pretty great upgraded, good for a free hit on a 4hp enemy. Ima can also delay his side of the map by shoving them back and lowering their movement and then hit for 4 when needed via atk boost and potion. Never touch shouma or kurara though unless the generator needs healing fuck those 2 lol. Eito is cracked though

he is in A because... he gets good 100 hours in by the point when you've already done most fights and thus can skip them.

wow your tier list is so retarded anon

Nah it was fun 3 or 4 times. When you realize it is forced into the story to gain some bullshit object i was no longer wasting free time on this. Especially battles are annoying as they dont even give you BP, its a pure time waster

Yeah also add the button to skip ding dongs and bing bongs instantly

what's up, fellow humans, why not kill ourselves and let the invaders win?

just out of curiosity, why did you say i did not beat the game while giving a normal reply to the other anon, who also used desperation potions?

Gameplay might have been more challenging if every character had separate ap points for action and movement like XCom games. In some battles i literally didn't use anyone from 14 characters beside one with highest damage output and with speed potion

assassinfag A tier

Granted, I just got him, I'm around day 30. But what am I missing? His personal skill or w/e that grants +2 damage against statused enemies is so shit. It's like a shitty version of Jumonji's skill, which already has the problem of shitting itself in crowded areas.

jesus imagine if Game Grumps played this game. The ywould get too bored from constantrly clicking on the bed and skipping free time

in the Eito fight my Takumi was just speeding through one shotting the ap bags while he keep on going with his monologue, it was hilarious

Gaku in S

I do think he's good but that's too high

Hiruko in B

Yugamu in A

Takemaru anywhere above C

Eito anywhere but S

Moko above Darumi

sister...

This game was made to torture Arin Hanson

But what am I missing?

not that anon but applying the -atk debuff on bosses with counter attack helps a lot when you spam impale on them until they're dead

Gaku barely has any money, so it wouldn't take that much for him to blow all his money if he paid at all.

I sat and listened until I realised he wasn't going to stop. It was pretty funny. He's got a villain monologue while one guy bursts his goon squad. It would have been really cool if the combat wasn't silly.

One thing i'm missing is the FPS exploration in this game and exploring new locations. Danganronpa had a nice balance between phases of gameplay as to not make any of them drag too long and to always keep forward to a new chapter. This game is like having the trial part for far too long and too often while story and "new thing explored" parts being very short

I was so disappointed after only upgrading him really that I didn’t even touch him during the final fight really cause I was too afraid of the boss counter. Plus not being able to use Nozomi also fucked with my strat too. Barely got the win

asks if they can listen to jap dub

randomly praises tranny en actor

must you do this?

counter attack

Don't you have to...let them hit you to counter them? Feels like something that doesn't happen a lot in this game, with how many actions you can get. But I'm still early.

ideally you don't need -attack debuff if you just kill them all in the first turn. you don't need to finish them off with impale either if they just bleed to death at the end of their own turn. the game is piss easy, counter attack is just wasting your own time

just saying its not gay to jack off to ugly dude's voice

True. Jacking off to Gaku's voice doesn't make me gay

Am I doing something wrong when raising stats? I talked to Darumi like 3 or 4 times by now. The first time it gave me a level up. The other times the game just says "creativity went up by 6" but the grade screen remains like this. What the fuck?

Don't you have to...let them hit you to counter them?

talking about the bosses with the counter attack trait which allows them to attack you after you strike them

Why is anyone pretending to be shocked about an English dub featuring a tranny. ALL of these dub actors or from LA or Austin. They’re all hardcore leftists. Of course there’s a tranny in the dub. Just play it with the Japanese voices.

Tsubasa becomes extremely broken when you max out her deadlights. Most notable is that she doesn't have exhaustion, so you don't need to spam potions to keep her moving. Not only that she has 2 base damage 6 tile attack. Stacking basic buffs on her bumps that up to 7 per attack. Ontop of deadlights having insane move she can easily solo the entire map without expending any mobility items.

don't worry too much about it

If they like the gift you get 20 total points. Only give gifts.

most people aren't surprised nor using the english dub, it's just a tranny schizo

shocked

People hate trannys and don't want them anywhere in the games they play.

I don't have gifts yet. So are the individual blocks on this screen the actual levels, then, and not just a progress bar until the next one? I was just confused because the game says I got +6 but I can't see that anywhere.

you're not ready for some of the dumb ass plot twists they're still hiding

Why not just cheat then? I got tired of it too so i just use a ce table to skip the exploration section/bond grind etc.

from all kodaka's games, is this the one with the least voice acting? I swear to god there are like like 2 minutes of dialogue in the common route

brown girl best girl as always in this games

it gets better after the 80th day!!!

really annoying that you guys keep recommending this vidya when it's actually super niche. It's not worth playing unless you're a turbo weeb.

Perhaps Kodaka, Uchikoshi and other guys should make games separately...There is too much bloat and too many routes in a non interesting setting limited by a boring environment

Yeah coming from FE background, I immediately thought puke bitch must get super broken if ANY kind of attack buffs exist whatsoever. She has 15 fucking movement, and doesn't fatigue. This is just unheard of in any remotely balanced turn-based strategy game. She's basically a self-warper. Her base attack Deadlights also has a great attack shape with wide coverage.
And she even has team buffs. Fucking silly bullshit.

each square = 10 points
10 squares = 100 points
I think

they almost went bankrupt with no voiceacting, imagine if they actually voiced about 50% of the lines

can't actually choose not to reset time and just die

Why pretend I have a choice, then?
The bars go up in increments of 10 to a max of 100. The first level is instant, the rest take progressively more points between both stats. Level 5 requires max bar on both (200 total).

pretty sure there are story interaction in the middle of exploration and battles, like literally characters are dying in middle of the fight

Is it bad that I'm hoping/looking forward to a Joseph Anderson supercut of him being mad at the story? He's about one of the only Internet personalities I even watch and I only do that to fall asleep.

Oh, that explains it, thanks.

A bit too late for that considering there’s several of them in English VA roles. Again, just use the Japanese voices.

I dont mean literally skip them, but make them very fast, like getting infinite movement in exploration, time speed adjustment etc.

Whats the point of the grade system? They are easily MAXed before first 100 days end, it feels like they coudn't find anything worth doing and they knew that friendship bonding would be not enough to fill up all free time events in more than 1 playthorugh

the game has 0 balance bro, there are several characters that completely bypass the game, not to mention potions, takumi himself can solo the entire game, especially if you stack last yell

Bros be honest with me because i dont want to waste 999 hours playing all routes. Is there an actual route where you get Danganronpa Love Hotel phases with characters like Hiruko?
Or is it all just friendship and teasing before MC goes "MUH Karua" like Jon Snow with Deanearys

Takumi FUCKS in some routes

They can't even drink, i doubt Kodaka let them fuck

what like implied sex?

There's a scene of Takumi and a girl naked on his bed after having sex and one that implies he impregnated another female character

anyone?
I've looked up the whole OST on YT (I think) and haven't found it yet

BANG BANG BANG

Use the in-game OST player

I carried their body to the revive-o-matic...

but it was too late

bros...give it to me straight. i went to the beach. am i locked onto the comedy route?

all parties are hosted by gaku

you have to admit it

it kinda just sounds like the regular encounter music man
youtube.com/watch?v=GdB7hbpioJU

sounds like coming of age

luv kako
'nuf said

this game feels like one big shitpost for some reason but I love it

And every time a party happened in the first playthrough something went wrong, he was one of my main suspects.

Eito is such a party pooper...

me after 20 hours in the comedy route

kako singlehandedly saving this comedy route
i'm happy that kodaka finally got to make the game to end all kodaka games forever

in-game OST player9

hot dam didn't know about that

regular

Yes, I found it with the audio gallery. But it usually plays the much shittier "Invasion" in most battles.

Huge Spoiler for a route btw

the rap battle was kino too though

BASED

trannylators being a problem yet again

Its sad that the Claire De Lune became a generic "sad" music for every emotional scene

This is the straightest Kodaka game tbqh

doesn't know about skipping battles

Usually there are some kind of patch restoration or something for these kind of game. This game didn't get any traction at all huh? At least this means that Hackdaka is finished.

You just got Debussy'd brah

the game's script is equal to danganronpa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
it's too fucking long

It’s sad that Kodaka Pavlov’s dogd me into wanting to cry every time I hear it. That shit in 2nd scenario when nigou brings up the baby pictures sirei has hidden makes me want to cry just remembering it

not going outside

your fault for being a retarded NEET

"but le game over"

skill issue

I was kinda shocked by the Cult of Takumi route. It started off seeming like another joke route but as it goes on it starts getting more and more serious and then it's just batshit by the end. The shift in tone was surprising. The endings either being Nozomi getting slowly beaten to death and then Takumi getting turned into a vegetable that they worship or Nozomi getting brainwashed and Takumi choosing to become Supreme Overlord of both races was really unexpected. Moral of the story is to not take weird drugs and that Takumi is a retard for trusting Eito a second time

This game didn't get any traction

It's barely out and you think someone, for free in their free time will magic up a revised script of this long as fuck VN?

This game really brought out the retards

How long is the route that happens on Day 80 something where you reject blind Eito? I don't want to do another super long route like slasher and after 2nd scenario am ready to put the game to bed

"fuck marriage"

turns into homura as soon as she gets a whiff of good, loving dick

there is gay sex cg in the game and it barely register in my mind with context behind it
funny how that works

if i was smart i woudnt be her duh

kill all faggots
not even Danganronpa had gay sex

grow up

Rape Gaku immediately

Turamtammi sexo

The most fucking annoying thing in the game is 90% of you see on screen is the fucking ding-dong bing bong and Sirei announcment. Holy shit, you start to appreciate Monokuma Theatre because it only happens like 3-4 times in a chapter. Now you have to sit through 100x100 of these announcements to get 100%

Ever17

PICKED THE FUCK UP

I heard the translation is reddit - is the game fully voiced? Did they rewrite scenes?

Takumi missed Nigou’s performance

How can he live with himself? It’s the show of a lifetime.

He's living the dream. Till he dies of course.

Anyone ever not gotten S rank on a mission? What does it take?

And yet in other routes people died hours ago can still be revived somehow...

How long does it take for 100%? 100 endings? 100 playthrough? Seems too crazy

I got a C rank on the first route's vehxness fight, probably because I had a few people die without using their last resorts

I messed up during either the clone fight, or the hallucination fight, and let a bunch of minions hit the base during the prologue and ended up with a C. The rankings are all tied to defense percent and turn count. You're more likely to see a lower ranking if the base health bar turns yellow or red.

they have to be revived immediately!

also people who die all the way out at the invader base get revived the next day :^)

You have a 999/VLR flow chart you can use to hop between routes. Depending on the writing team behind the route, it could range from an hour and a half to 4 hours. There's around 20 or so routes with each of them having around 5 or so endings.

it's particularly dumb in cases like zombies route where some characters die because of fucking bite wounds

Overall the idea of a machine that revives you, as long as you don't lose a lot of blood, is dumb as fuck. I was kind of expecting that it would get destroyed early on to justify true deaths, but so far it hasn't happened.

It's based on how long you take and how much damage the shield takes.

Anyone else just make Shouma chug a desperation potion at every wave start and make him off himself for voltage?

voltage?

Shouma laser with 4+ damage is devastating

cafeteria/war room info dump #371

:(

sirei does his little hop sprite with the "pee pee!" blurb

:)

I like the game but damn is it really tedious at times...

Shouma's Omega Punch only does 1 damage and stuns him after use

Is this a joke skill? Why would I ever use this

each time he gets hit he gets +1 attack
it's shouma so he still sucks ass

Gave me a genuine chuckle, thanks

they theorize that she got in by chasing the invaders, waiting for them to open a hole in the wall, killing them singlehandedly before they get in, then going in herself

I've used to to clear some out of the way trash, but yes it's mostly a joke skill as it fits his character.

What’s the dumbest timeskip you’ve discovered? My favorite so far was “managed to drink an entire glass of high proof alcohol without realizing it wasn’t water, passing out for a day and then sleeping for two consecutive days while hung over”.

you are not missing anything, that tier list is horrendous and assassinfag is a mediocre unit

oh hey v'ehxness seems to continue jumping in to absorb enemy commanders before you can

let's not absorb the enemy right away to prevent this

I am not a fan of how much the plot revolves around character being deliberately retarded.

You suppose to taunt enemies and get attacked. Shouma gets +1 attack for each hit he takes on the next turn. And since he takes 2x2 fields he can get 8+ from distance damage which can wipe out an entire map with his ultimate

He's a decent unit with nice range and an easy +2 damage ability ontop of having bleed. I'd not put him on par with the others in that tier, but definitely about those on the tier below him.

He is a defender mostly, but his punch still deal a lot of damage if he gets attacked a lot in a turn prior

that route is kino though

I don't know how to feel about the fact that nothing makes me happier than seeing a bunch of days skipped

easy +2 damage ability

It's not easy to status enemies. Because the inevitable question arises...why are you statusing enemies, instead of killing enemies? It's the debuff paradox. Seen in Fire Emblem and similar games as well.

it's not a bad strategy but honestly desperation potions are best saved for boss melting and the fact that after every wave all charcters are healed means that your strategy requires to waste a desperation potion on each wave for ima to be usable. The only time I could see this strategy being a viable strategy is on the last wave of a battle in which kako and ima are both on the side where the boss is, any other time you are better off using desperation potions on other characters.

Time to skip the game, anon.

don't worry when I beat the game I only had 2 on everything.

my problem with this game is that the branching routes don't contribute much of anything to the main plot

eg. in zero escape every route in the timeline gives a nugget of information that helps build up to the greater mystery
in this game everything important is dumped in one route and most of the other routes are just fanservicey meme routes.

there's no central pillar, the game doesn't feel like it was designed with 100 endings in mind. It's like they had the idea 1/4 of the way though development but didn't want to scrap everything they already had.

And some anons said that this game is better than 33. I mean come on now...

I mostly use him to two-hit a stack of 2 ap pinatas making him go neutral and clear out trash at the same time, as I said he's not the best, but he's pretty decent.

This made me super mad in that route, almost ruined the whole thing. The concept was fine but it should have been executed better, maybe her backstabbing the commanders during the fight instead of after?

Think about it more like this way. This is just a fandisc + sequel all in one.

Decided to just look ahead at some of the CGs. I don't know what the fuck is going on here, but looks kinda hot.

Yes, because the gameplay involves more than just hitting QTEs.

in that route

ITS MULTIPLE

we transformed into our Class Armor

this is starting to become a fucking meme, this armor is fucking worthless against

bees

saws

bites

Japanese version is censored too

absolute state of shitendo

Does this have a character more interesting than Nagito?

NTA, but 100Line's gameplay is somehow even more braindead than just hitting QTE's, that's an achievement

S.F route acknowledges this but honestly it does so in a pretty insulting way
I think the idea of Hiruko being her own protagonist is cool but not at the cost of the story to go on about some fucking random zombie route and denying the other endings

what endings do you need to get past the SF lock?
it's the only route i want to play at this point.

So far I've finished the prolouge, coming of age route, one of the comedy routes, and am on route with the weird guy in the diving suit. Honestly, the original timeline and coming of age route were good, but now I am rapidly getting SICK of this game. The characters are so stupid and so quick to let things drop without even worrying about it...and still so many unanswered questions! I wish the player had more agency OR they cut the fat on how many routes there were and just made a few that were consistently interesting...I loved the first 20-30 hours but it's getting tiresome. What routes ACTUALLY advance the players understanding of the lore/world/scenario? I don't want to step another 5-10 hours on a route which is totally uninteresting...

jesus fucking christ

that's like the least sexual thing that happens in the Cult of Takumi route. Guess they really held back when it came to those two.

Second Scenario is the only route worth a damn.

Slasher slop (both routes in the slasher split at day 50 -100)
Mystery route ending 100
Some killing route ending

I’m more annoyed by them changing into their class armor and not using their weapons. Like in slasher route Takumi takes out his knife? Bro you got a big ass fuckin katana that can do ranged attacks were the other writers not paying attention? I know hemoanima doesn’t work on everything that tries to kill them in those routes but jumping to the knife is just so retarded to me

and am on route with the weird guy in the diving suit

There's many of those

What routes ACTUALLY advance the players understanding of the lore/world/scenario?

2nd Scenario and Steady Fundamental

It’s actually 2 of the Box of calamity routes. Doing em right now, you need the mystery route apparently for another lock that appears after the 1st one in SF.

The Last defense academy 2nd scenario loredumps a lot and it's overall good, but there are a few annoyances you have to deal with like

What route let’s me sex her? It’s like finding a needle in a haystack.

Rank the routes so far

S Tier

Nothing yet

A Tier

Retsnom
Vex'nhess
Killing Game
Cult of Takumi

B Tier

Prologue

C Tier

Romance

D Tier

Comedy (only route I dropped so far, I might do this route last as a victory lap)

KG Route
man im so fucking annoyed with the bad ending to this route, Takumi is such a bitch. I expected him to stay behind and let everyone into space. why the hell would they write this as a last stand type ending that's so gay they actually had an exit.

Sorry Sumino-kun, I couldn't tell you you were the murderer or you would have killed yourself Bravo Kodaka

because of the blood powers, your allies keep their powers over time travel

your materials and traps and potions also remain the same because...

As entertaining as their stories are, these guys don't really think any of it through, huh.

character went from bond tier 1 to 5 right away

I can guess what triggered the skip and that also means it's impossible to get max rank outside of that trigger. But I guess that means I miss out on the bond events inbetween them?

i mean was takumi time travel powers EVER referenced like EVER in the first route?

Nope. I already seethed about it ITT.

please tell me in one route someone switches the infusers with regular blades and people off themselves

Because they prepared better in this timeline
but also, needing to reinvest in them every time would be a pain even with lowered quantity requirements.

It's literally his passive ability. The fact that he could only redo a wave/battle means it was both a very short term time travel ability and he probably didn't remember ever using it

i think it does skip the rest of the events so i just avoided ranking up people i hadnt maxed yet...

I know what the gameplay reasons are, but you cannot have me believe that by coincidence my team prepared exactly:
4620 BP, 1010 plant material, 690 textile material, 450 mineral material, 130 machine material, level 7 Atk potions, etc.
Yeah and no one ever mentions it once. "He just doesn't remember using it" doesn't mean he doesn't know he had it at all. Ghost boy talks about it at the end as if they both fully know about it and Takumi never questions it, meaning he knows about that power he has pretty well.

You can repeat those events in the extra menu

Yeah, you're right. It's weird because other characters mention their specialist skill/passive abilities (Kurara, Shouma)

I respect zombie route for the simple fact that they bothered making new sprites for the characters

gain invader language understanding from absorbing lots of their blood juice

but not the normal commanders, they're not strong enough

but the prisoner was, so eito conveniently understands their language and no one else

takumi gets eito's blood, so now he knows the language

he goes back in time and everyone just fucking knows it now because muh resonance

And you guys are telling me it gets even more stupid?

So what I got from reading this thread is that the game is shit and I shouldn't waste my time.
Thanks for letting me know.
I hope this bankrupts Kodaka

objective: defeat enemy boss

bring boss down to 0 hp

boss lives

This game has way too many scripted losses, they should have at least let you brute force it and made you lose in the cutscene afterwards.

this nigga is so fucking DUMB

Oh yeah, it’s a great route. I just find the way they pad out the days pretty silly.

"You have brain damage causing you to randomly lose consciousness for a random number of days between 5 and 20"

Man, I'm exhausted from this thread.
Let's continue it tomorrow morning in the cafeteria.

Don't forget to drink your water.

Takumi has something important to say

Oh well let's do it tomorrow

Next day something else happens and he just forgets about it

i would say that one time Takumi started spontaneously combust but 20 days less of that route was a mercy

He really can't be arsed. Literally me.

I think it's definitely it's Darumi. You have to remember about her backstory, it makes perfect sense for her to plan that with that power.

I'm so hungry, i could eat a whole frog

Wtf was that even about

The writers forgot, preasu understandu

It's nothing

Just slept 18 hours time to get some breakfast then go back to sleep

I love sleeping for 48 hours.

Nozomi is cute when she cries

report card

mfw Takumi's "likes"

unironically kino foreshadowing

it’s more that when you join her and she says how she’s happy you believed in her, she says something at the end like ‘at least that’s how I remember feeling’ and that seems to confirm that it’s something with all her memories and not truly her. Everyone being able to use their hemoanima after being remade does lend credibility to the fact that she does reproduce everyone pretty much identically and that she’s probably the same too, but maybe it’s different since she’s the one that makes the things? Dunno, but at least she does get to live happy with Takumi in one route, at the expense of all life lol

What's so good about ever17? Haven't played it beyond 10 mins

Imagine HL but the cafeteria only has chicken sandwiches

Sounds better than what ever Ima and Kako were cooking up.

Hes makes commanders do absolutely no damage via a stacking -2 attack debuff

Commanders have been giga pussies so far

Retsnom route proved darumi was more than a joke character

I liked the comedy route and it had me laughing the whole time

we know, Kodaka

Retsnom route is awesome, I'm working through it now.

Leaving darumi alone in her room was so mean.. She deserved better

I've figured out a 100% effective way to get hot babes. It's getting late though so I'll tell you guys in the morning.

at least she does get to live happy with Takumi in one route, at the expense of all life lol

You win some you lose some. Its the best we're getting. I'm pretty sure that's the intended ending for that route as it goes straight instead of branching like the other choice.

using the Gopher Project plotline from DanganronpaV3 but this time unironically

There is no limit of my dissapointment toward Kodaka

ding dong bing bong

Better go to the cafeteria, I gotta hear what anon had to say...

When I got there, everyone had already gathered...except for anon

Hey, where's anon?

I guess they must be sleeping their room! Anyway, here's Moko telling everyone another wrestling story!

Bros just stop fucking using desperation potions and the free low HP ult
I think a decent mod should double all enemy HP (bosses * 1.5 instead of double), maybe multiply by 2 the amount of resources needed for potions and traps and remove the low HP ult. How hard is it to mod this engine?

if this was her referring to another girl watching it instead, it would have been myfetish.jpg, she's probably into that too though

I'd rather have a true skip button

What, don't you wanna bang Darumi while Sirei watches you?

Genuinely asking, what did Kodaka do to end up in such crippling debt?

Put your back into it, soldier!

it's not just localization but pop culture too. the crossdresser that shouts dondake is an actual real person and i doubt anyone would know unless they keep up with japanese celebrities. foreigners will still be alienated even with an ideal translation

People who hate what localizers are doing don't hate them for replacing japanese references with western references or japanese jokes with english jokes, these have to be replaced because japanese jokes/wordplay do not translate over to english and people playing the game wouldn't get japanese references. People take issue with localizers censoring and rewriting dialogue they personally deem problematic and adding memes and slang like what was done with this game's localization.

the dialogue seems a lot lewder compared to danganronpa which was already pretty lewd, hope future games keep this up.

Started a new company probably

You can't just flatly buff enemies across the board because it inevitably just fucks up everything. The game was simultaneously balanced in a careful way, and carelessly too. And that's just what the game is, warts and all. It's an ecosystem, that can be quickly overrun by a single invasive species. But just like in real life, you can't "fix" the invasive species by giving everything else in the environment steroids. Then you get a game that is needlessly tedious and the differences between the best and worst characters are exacerbated.

Started a company by asking all his friends to come work for him which means he can't in good conscious pay them much lower than they got working for a big studio like spike/chunsoft. Then most of their games have only gotten ok sales.

How hard is it to mod this engine?

The combat system would need a complete overhaul. There's literally nothing going on besides reduce HP to 0. Even if % hit chance is annoying in other games its basically from cover bonuses so it's a way to make positioning matter a bit. Positioning only matters for whether you're in range for an attack or not which is way too shallow. We don't even have something basic like flanking bonuses. I can guarantee you there were some earlier builds that offered some more complex interactions but all that shit got axed.

Stuff like pushing, Kurara's entire kit, the fact that you can rotate your character for actions like defend or dash, etc all imply combat used to have more going on but it all got axed for some reason.

Can't know it until you try it

Pretty sure Kodaka said in an interview that this game was aimed at casuals. Wouldn't be surprised if better mechanics got axed for the sake of keeping the game easy

I'm on my second playthrough (first one that let me make decisions) and I'm confused. I alredy learned the secret of Sirei and Academy's purpose. Did I actually gotten into true ending by sheer luck or every route reach the main plotline?

there is no future games
it's OVER for Kodaka

What choices did you make?

Its fine, she just needs her edibles.

Sure, try it. But there's a lot I can tell you from pure inference. The game is built around this central concept of building up action economy by killing AP piñatas + using AP-free buffing consumables + and building up ultimate meter (voltage/desperation) in order to cut through the sheer waves of enemy fodder.
Now take a common piñata like the little purple dorks with 4 HP. Several characters like Eito, Takumi, and Hiruko have a realistic way of outright ganking these little shits. Now double their HP, to 8. No one kills them easily now. Good job, you created the opposite problem, and made a boring strategy minigame even more unfun.

Kodaka bluntly said the success of Hundred Line will determine whether he can keep making games or not

Danganronpa 1, 2 and V3 are notorious for having completely butchered english localizations

Kodaka can speak english so he's aware of what these people are doing to his games' scripts

Kodaka goes and hires Active Gaming Media Inc, one of the worst rated localization companies in Japan with a long history of butchering japanese-to-english localizations because he's a cheapskate

Steam forums are filled with people shitting on the localization

now he's upset that his game is bombing

Don't know how people feel sorry for him when he brought this on himself.

wait are they going out?

Darumi died first, then Kyoshika second and Tomato head as third. Spared Eito twice and made Shion to join. And now they discussing what feels like main secret of how they reached this place and Sirei is given up on hiding anything and its just day 58

You're forced to use the tanky characters or kurara's turrets (which are perceived to be the bad ones) along with resoucleces like walls to deal chip damage on them until you have them low enough to move your killers in
Seems a pretty fine solution

future games

anon..

What's up, my Nigou?

Yeah, you're probably on the "true" ending path iirc, although there are still some decisions left

Eito Komaeda.....

I saw a mod that removes most of the caveman grunting, so I guess it's not that hard

It's just not fun at its core. So you might as well make it a faceroll if it's going to be not fun. No one wants to spend more time and effort in the the little defense battles.

for fuck sake, what choices should i make to fuck the girls? I thought i would reach some dead end that focus on romance like in Ever17 or Stein Gate...

kek

kurara feet

wait I've never played a danganropa game before, is the studio going under or something?

I'd want to spend more time playing it if it was balanced well. I like turn-based strategy.

Kodaka broke off from Spike in order to establish his own company. He has stated that 100 Line will make or break the company.

It's your future

I like turn-based strategy

I do too and this one sucks cocks. It needs a complete rework. The idea of Stun and kamikazeing units for huge buffs is compelling and unique, but it's just horribly balanced and crude in practice.

see

I like the gameplay, but it’s got that same issue 13 Sentinels had where every battle is basically the same. It’s not a bad system, there’s just not much variety.

It should have been a more developed Fire Emblem game that have decision and choices embroiled into gameplay, but it literally only happen once, when you choose between Kurara and Gaku on who to save

didn't it have like 7.5k peak on steam? figure that's pretty good for a AA title, not sure how much debt he went into though

I can’t believe I have to humiliate myself with Gaku for one of the required endings for the lock

The fun thing about 13 Sentinels is that it could melt your Playstation. That and moments like where youtube.com/watch?v=vKdIhT3Feks played. The closest thing 100 Line has is Eito's fight during the route 0.

i was sure i would have to reach some bad endings like in 999 to unlock true ending, i dont want to know everything right now, i want the joke and bad endings first

I like this more than 13 sentinels even though I'd probably say 13 sentinels is a much better game. This game is janky af.

Yes, in most cases. The problem is that he took on enormous debt and took several years to develop the game

Did someone say Gaku

1.Spare
2.Don't reveal
3.Kiss

You will chant the ritual and you will be happy

do you guys have a favorite girl?

Tsubasa

ye

i want to point out i want a STRAIGHT romance just so we're clear

Yeah some people like srpgs and strategizing. But since the game is very long and the meat of it are the routes and choices one has to be careful to not make it too time consuming and monotonous..

I like all of them except Nozomi and Moko

As far as I know there’s not too much actual sex but more romance, I believe the cult route starts if you choose to sacrifice Takemaru instead of Kyoshika. And if you choose to sacrifice Tsubasa she chickens out apparently and Vexhness takes over the school then you can romance her. Oh and the Eva route from not letting Shouma kill her. There’s a romance route that centers on Kurara, Tsubasa, and Kyoshika fighting over Takumi that splits off from the SF route. (Don’t tell the team you’re from the past). Then there’s the Darumi route if you sacrifice the other academy so she doesn’t get got by Vexhness. If you want to do killing game blind stop reading but that also ends up as a Tsubasa romance.

How did reading shonen manga turn a girl into a sex addict?

Yes Anon it's straight, just play the fucking game

She probably had nothing better to do than masturbate.

Yeah...

praying to fucking god this studio pulls through and survives

80 hours

only got 20 endings so far

good thing I wasn't planning on playing anything else this month

Yes. Retsnom route solidified it.

i hate his stupid fucking hat why is it hairy

More nozomi for me

You must be missing all the quick ones, for example, rather than a bunch of branches that split into full endings, the mystery route has a bunch of early ends, which make up like 7 quick endings.

I wanted to play Expedition 33...

There's a giant hole in the back

She lived out in the boonies with only her martial art grandpa. I'm not sure if she had the internet but she did have access to manga, and becoming a pervert after reading manga is a pretty normal progression.

His pants are worse, I want to reach through the screen and cut those stubbles myself

Me too. I know if I don't finish this game, I won't come back to it for like a year, so I'm pushing through even when I feel like playing something else.

you fuckers are so annoying

final fight for second scenario

try to win the fight without losing anyone

realize too late I had to kill everyone on purpose and time

The ever prevalence of scripted fights irks me the most.

Thank you for everything....Facebook...

its the poor mans version of Jotaro

I've only finished four main routes, I'm a very slow reader.

reveal Nozomi's secret

people act weird about you knowing stuff about them personally

as if it didn't occur to them already

Anything to force conflict, huh? Also

have to reveal or not, no in-between like telling part of the truth

or

guys I'm from the future can't you just trust me

she didn't stop him because she's in love with him and didn't want him to get hurt you dense fuck

I've finished the comedy route, the zombie route, the slasher route, the mystery route up until the lock, and am working on the retsnom route.

bruh wtf
i coudn't reach true ending in any other game without walkthrough like ever17 or even eroges, but now i get a game with GORILION endings and i get the true route, it make me wanna not replay other choices, It should had been locked until all the other fun endings are unlocked

telling part of the truth

This is what Takumi does anyway

But this choice is the weirdest part of this route because you can simply not say anything and then convince Nozomi to tell the truth and everything works out much better, but then you're no longer on the main route.

Finally finished that ending, man what the fuck was the point of this. Hoping it connects across somehow like the slasher routes do

There's still the Steady Fundamental route and that one is actually locked by others

finished Coming of Age

Takumi deserves a Fell For It Again Award for that bullshit.
At least I got to hear THAT song again.

Darumi absolutely
Not much of a spoiler, but the moments in routes she cant act or clown around are peak

LOVE AND PEACE

holy shit coming of age is so kino, my only beef with it is kyoshika being in the leave school team but holy fuck literally clapped at the friendship powerup scene

doing the true route

no Darumi

no Kyoshika

Boooooorrriiing. I need my funny moments to screenshot.

*blocks your path*

why didn't they just use the intercept system to defend the base?

That feels a bit extreme to me thus far? Maybe I need to get SF to see the depths of it but I did think the end was cute but that felt more like built up off him beating himself up the whole route and feeling miserable and all the times she comforted him. She was terrified of him for a good chunk of it but it seems that then turned into affection after long enough of comforting him. It didn’t come across to me that she was in love with him for most of it. I also remembered after I wrote that that it was because she kept trying to find a way to save him and only after everyone was dead did she come to the conclusion there was no way to save him

IIRC it's called that because it reveals the truth behind everything, not because it's meant to be the "final" ending.
But that sounds like cope since they clearly put a ton of production value into it compared to most other routes.

Unironically the biggest flaw of that route.

Takumi

Overall just solid. He can attack wide - far - and has usually the strongest ultimate which catches a lot.

Nozumi

Kinda meh until you realize she can un-stun units which makes her S tier for that alone - buffs are decent

Tsubasa

Buffed can catch a lot and benefits from being in a fucking car. No stamina potions needed her - Also S

Gaku

Catches a lot of shit and buffed up easily gets you AP - Deserved S

Takemaru

He is alright - Ultimate is very situational but his normal attacks usually can clean up a lot

Eito

Very strong but also not available for half the game so yeah - not quite S tier for that alone

Kyoshika

Should be S tier - she can attack from any direction and with that easily avoid boss counters - all while doing a shitton of damage - just buff her up and she can solo most final stages

Yugamu

Definition of okay - his debuffs can be neat if you got no retarded ninja samurai on the field but outside of that he can be ignored

Hiruko

Would put her higher. She can get a shitload of damage easily - most sleep on her cause she is missing for most of the initial route.

Moko

She sucks period. Might have high damage but so does Hiruko without stun demerit.

Darumi

Useful because she is one of the best generations - with some minor investment a single attack nets you 30%+ easily which feeds S tiers like Takumi

Shouma

Yeah he sucks, Only good for his attraction which only suckers use

Kurara

Had uses in the early game with those support towers being kinda decent - fell off hard later

Kako

Only really used for desperation potion Ima buffing or to kill that one backline enemy for free

Ima

Needs his sister buff to be decent - attack range is kinda whatever - But with the sister buff there is definitely some use here and there.

This gets addressed in SF

I was not satisfied

Just realized I wrote past instead of future, whoops. Hopefully you know what I meant

Speaking of the main route, I gathered that I'm meant to talk to fire boy at points in the game. Is it obvious when/where or do I need to go out of my way to find him? Takumi commented about looking for him, which made me think I'm meant to do it in free time but I don't see him anywhere

Yeah it's one of the best routes from what I've played so far. Only real problem is Darumi being dead.

yeah it kinda sucks since the only routes that are fun where she's alive are kg and romance.

It's during free time but he's only available during specific days. I think i didn't miss any but there's no way to be sure

Kako's biggest issue is the combination of a -3 attack penalty after 1 move ontop of needing to stand still to get her damage. If she had just 1 of these drawbacks she'd have some niche use, but having both just makes her near unusable.

Nozumi is S tier also because she makes explorations free
Being the games main healer is the only reliable way you can unlimited heal in explores.

Just finished the Vexhness route

So they're important? Is he visible on the map or do you have to look? I'd usually hate to ask, but I don't want to cancerously be locked out of a route because I didn't go digging through the sandpit every free time to find him

To be fair it’s pretty easy in this game to get the “true” route, pretty much every time someone tells Takumi he should do something before a decision comes up that’s the thing that keeps you on the main path.

Kako gets significantly better with spring traps and panaceas as the former dont count as her moving and the latter remove her selfdebuff,

So why doesn't Takumi go back in time a third time to go for the perfect* ending?

Cause there's no "perfect" ending.

You can just use attack potions to remove the self debuff

Because Kodaka and his autism. Making a "perfect" ending would make every other ending they have created feel weak and unimportant. He wanted people to find their own preferred ending.

He thinks timeloopers are allowed good endings

You'd think v would have learnt by now with Chrono ark

Sorry, never touched that game. Rougelite tag really turned me off.

Dont blame you its basically jrpg levels of story behind a wierd hybrid of deckbuildroguelike and rpg party combat. I loved it but i completely get why people wouldnt, that genre was quickly saturated with slop because every fucker wanted to be the next STS instead of making their own spin on it.

if takumi is not s tier already, he should be just from the buff that gives him +1 attack for each dead ally. bosses start in front of him, and you can just expend whatever you need to take it down in a single turn with little regard to tactics

I think Kako is THE definition of mid tier she can pretty much be used in just about every round for a free pick off then forgotten.

every time someone tells Takumi he should do something before a decision comes up that’s the thing that keeps you on the main path.

Except the first time, because Sirei tells you to kill Eito, but the only important route from that entire side of the timeline is the mystery route.

This game will eventually get combat mods.

vr missions dlc

You'd think they'll at least allow you to use panacea outside of combat while exploring.

What does maxing bond even do?
I hope some routes are locked behind them

lol

It's mostly just giving you some character background info.
