Last Bullet (ラストバレット Rasuto Baretto) is a Nintendo DS adventure title published by FuRyu that puts players in the role of a young female sniper, Karin Hibiki. The game's characters are designed by Jū Ayakura.
Gameplay
The game is split into adventure and mission parts. During the adventure sequences, you speak to characters, solve puzzles, and advance through the storyline. These scenarios put Karin in a variety of situations, requiring that she change her clothes.
Each scenario has a mission in which players take control of Karin in sniper mode. Players are given success conditions at the start of the mission by Tsukasa Sakuma, a young teacher at Karin's school. Missions often give players multiple targets and limit rounds of fire. In addition, all missions include a set time limit; if this reaches zero, the game ends.
During sniping, you'll find yourself affected by weather conditions and even your own breathing. You can go into a concentration mode for a limited time, but this needs to be recharged before it can be used again.
