Synopsis
editTakumi Sumino lives an ordinary life in the Tokyo Residential Complex, but this peace is disrupted when mysterious creatures attack him and his friend. He is able to fight back against these creatures after an entity called Sirei, who is described as a "mysterious school mascot",[1] appears and gives him the ability "Hemoanima". Afterwards, Sirei forces Takumi and fifteen other students to enroll in Last Defense Academy and they join the Special Defense Unit to defend the school against the creatures, which are known as "School Invaders", for a hundred days.[2][3]
Gameplay
editThe game is a mix between tactical role playing games like Fire Emblem and visual novels.[4]
Development and release
editToo Kyoo Games went into debt while developing the game. After a publishing deal fell through, the studio took out a loan to fund development. Aniplex later came on as publisher.[5] The game's Japanese and English releases are scheduled for a simultaneous same day release.[4] It is scheduled for release in early 2025 for the Nintendo Switch.[6]
