Launched in April, this title arrived as a Nintendo Switch exclusive, later also landing on Valve’s Steam platform for PC.

Since its launch, players and critics alike have praised the title for its engaging tactical gameplay, compelling storyline, distinctive art direction, and highly regarded voice performances.

In its review, Nintendo Life described the game as an "excellent" addition to the Switch’s tactical RPG lineup, calling attention to its well-crafted characters and innovative mechanics. The success of The Hundred Line carries significant weight not only for its developer but also for Nintendo Switch owners eager for original, story-driven experiences on the platform.

The game’s availability on the Nintendo eShop and Steam ensures accessibility for a wider audience, paving the way for Too Kyo Games to remain a key player in the industry.

Additionally, publisher support from Aniplex and XSEED Games has further bolstered the game’s profile, emphasizing the cross-industry collaboration fueling this project. As Too Kyo Games forges ahead with plans for future titles, The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy stands as a prime example of narrative-driven innovation on the Nintendo Switch—a testament to the resilience and creativity that continue to define Japan’s indie game development scene.
