Whoa, where to even start with this? Imagine a world, kinda dystopian, alright, where Japanese office folks are bizarrely stuck working ’round the clock. Like, 24/7. It’s wild. So who’s swooping in to deal with this nightmare? Enter — drumroll — a “fully armed cyborg heroine.” Yep, she’s on a mission to take down those robocorp employees and the creepy megacompany in Full Metal Schoolgirl. Sounds intense, right?
Now, about Full Metal Schoolgirl… it’s the latest thing from Yuke’s. Those folks who gave us those wrestling games and Earth Defense stuff. And let’s not forget D3Publisher, the minds behind the campy OneChanbara series. Their trailer dropped, giving action fans all the chaos they’re itching for, wrapped up in Japanese schoolgirl getups. Okay, so it’s kinda over-the-top — but maybe that’s the point?
Picture this: You’re one of two super-tech schoolgirls, making your way up this towering, 100-floor corporate behemoth, named Meternal Jobz (seriously, who comes up with these names?). They’re staffed by what they call the “Working Dead”— I mean, talk about grim. As you head up, the office obstacles and all-out battle scenes just keep building. Plus, your cyber-schoolgirl avatar gets these cool upgrades as you fight. Sort of like leveling up, but with more neon?
The whole vibe of Full Metal Schoolgirl is cheeky as heck—check the trailer if you need a laugh. Yuke’s definitely seems to be enjoying themselves with this concept. I watched both the English and Japanese trailers, and honestly? That peppy tune in the Japanese one? Kinda got stuck in my head. Weird, but true.
And here’s the kicker: these cyber schoolgirls? They’re livestreaming everything during the game. Yeah, viewers can jump in with donations and extra gear. It’s like a blend of gaming and social media madness, I guess.
Mark it on your calendar, peeps — October 23. It’s dropping on Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, and on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. Whether you’re playing or just curious about this crazy mash-up, it’s bound to be something, if not everything.
