Publisher Aniplex has released a new story trailer and a character trailer for the upcoming strategy RPG The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy. The trailers provide a summary of the game’s narrative and introduces the characters Takemaru Yakushiji, Shouma Ginzaki, Moko Mojiro, Nigou, and Nozomi Kirifuji. The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy will launch on April 24 worldwide for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam.
Details of each character:
Takemaru Yakushiji (voiced by Chikahiro Kobayashi) – An old-school delinquent who lives to ride and rides to live. Despite his rough-and-ready demeanor, Takemaru’s really a nice guy on the inside. Impulsive, straightforward, and honorable to a fault, he’s sworn to never use his strength to bully the weak.
Shouma Ginzaki (voiced by Shun Horie) – A young man who, by his own admission, has absolutely nothing going for him. On a scale of one to ten, his self-esteem’s at negative five. He’s constantly putting himself down.
Moko Mojiro (voiced by Kukuko Inoue) – A young woman who is blowing up on the high school pro wrestling scene. Her courage and boundless energy is a source of inspiration for the entire Special Defense Unit. Whenever she has a problem, she faces it head on. She didn’t choose the wrasslin’ life—it chose her.
Nigou (voiced by Ikue Otani) – Sirei’s assistant and second in command. An odd little robot that has a gentle, caring personality, but is also prone to making careless mistakes. He’s completely loyal and subservient to Sirei.
Nozomi Kirifuji (voiced by Tomoyo Kurosawa) – A high schooler who combines a kindhearted nature with dogged determination in battle. She’s very passionate about the Special Defense Unit’s mission, but also seems to be hiding something. For some reason, Nozomi is identical in appearance to Takumi’s childhood friend Karua.
The game’s details:
Project Extreme x Despair is here! From the creators of the Danganronpa and Zero Escape series comes a brand-new adventure game!
Takumi Sumino is a totally average teenager living in the Tokyo Residential Complex, a place where every day is much like the last and nothing bad ever happens. All that changes when freakish monsters attack the town and start wreaking havoc. A strange creature calling himself Sirei appears and offers Takumi the power to protect those he holds dear… All he has to do is stab himself in the chest!
The next thing he knows, Takumi is in Last Defense Academy, a school in the middle of nowhere surrounded by a wall of otherworldly flames. He and 14 other students have been drafted into the Special Defense Unit, a team tasked with keeping the school safe for the next 100 days. How much are they willing to sacrifice to take back their normal lives and save the world from the grotesque school invaders?
The curtain rises on 100 days of war and despair…
