It looks pretty cool; we love the colourful visuals, the awesome enemy designs, and of course, the gigantic weapons. We only hope the gameplay brings enough variety to keep us occupied for the entire runtime, but so far, early impressions are pretty positive.
Let's check out the key features:
- Take Revenge as a Fully-Mechanized Schoolgirl: Step into the role of a cyborg heroine armed with an arsenal of high-powered weaponry and cutting-edge mechanical upgrades in this exhilarating action shooter. Infiltrate Meternal Jobz, the world’s most ruthless mega-corporation, and fight back against undead “Working Dead”, the relentless corporate grunts that will stop at nothing to protect their employer. Show no mercy – scrap them all!
- Engage in Close-Quarters Combat in an Ever-Changing Skyscraper: Enter a towering 100-story skyscraper where the evil CEO awaits on the top floor. Climb higher while navigating an evolving structure as each new run introduces changing layouts and obstacles from its trap-like security system. Own the battlefield to reach the top!
- Fund Upgrades with Live-Streamed Battles: Use the power of content creation to win the favor of viewers! Obtain materials and rewards by defeating enemies to improve your character and earn donations for upgrades by live-streaming to a captivated audience. As the number of viewers increases, so does the support. Even in the face of defeat, remember you are not alone… the viewers of your livestream are cheering you on!
We'll have more information on Full Metal Schoolgirl as we get closer to its October release date.

...Game has anime boobs, I'll keep an eye on it. lol
Looks better than I thought it would.
Looks cool. Reminds of something you might play in the arcade in the late 90's, albeit with better graphics.
Looks fun. I'll keep my eye on this.
@Joeynator3000 for shame? idk I'm just the person who mistook yumia for a blimp.
It actually looks pretty good!
Looks pretty good indeed based on this trailer and yes, fingers crossed it will be good also gameplaywise etc. - if that ends up being the case then I'm definitely interested in giving it a try myself when it comes out (and of course have the time for it)!
This looks fun!
This is one of the most Japanese games I ever seen… and I LOVE it!
Looks fun but let’s hope it’s not much like a warriors game.
90% of pew pew /slash slash games today are schoolgirls and there’s probably no stopping until they all are..
I got two very BIG reasons to buy this game. Guns and action baby.
Yep. That's D3.
Weird that they just include the Bamco logo now
You gotta love D3's consistency!
Ever since the SIMPLE 1500 yen series their dedication to B-tier schlock and camp is endearing.
This reminds me I have to try my copy of EDF 4.1 on my Switch 2.
E!! D!! EFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!
Honestly as wild as this is this doesn't look bad lol
I like that there have been more Switch 2 game announcement recently, such as this cool looking title.
Looks like it could be neat. It gives Oneechanbara vibes.
They had me at "chocolate-melting microchips".
I don't even know what I just watched, but I'm pretty sure it was awesome.
More fanservice I see
Anime girls and big guns? Heck yes sign me up right now!!!
welp, I'm gonna buy the heck out of this.
Ah, gotta love the 3 adjective + noun hero/heroine fighting team concepts! As for this particular game, I look forward to seeing how it is considering that's one helluva intro. Guns check. Anime ok. Schoolgirls... sure? Full on Japan type concept, you know it!
Yeah... This kind of game is right up my alley.
looks like my kinda game
This looks aggressively mid.
“From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.”
Looks great but I wouldn't but it past current Nintendo to block it's release in the west.
Fingers and toes crossed
As long as it's not on a game key card, sign me up! Otherwise, Steam Deck OLED it is!
Now THIS is more like it
Insert blushing schoolgirl comment emoji here BAKA! (This game looks fun)
kind of a noisy trailer with quick cuts
Finally a S2 system seller!
@Goobplus considering Nitnendo had already allowed GalGun, Senran Kagura, Seven Pirates H and countless other titles, I don’t think they’re going to draw the line at cute anime girls with guns.
@cedarhyped Also GunGun Pixies
@cedarhyped
That was in years past, there has been a notable shift with them banning the Neptunia games, censoring hundred line and many more recently
No idea what changed with them but anything with school in the title is at risk
This looks so Japanese it honestly hurts a bit.
So Cutie Honey reboot number 12?
@Goobplus “Anything with school in the title is at risk” sounds like just a random guess. We don’t know why Neptunia got pulled from Switch, only that it was due to “Nintendo guidelines,” and “school” isn’t even in the title. 100 Line had maybe two CGs blurred, which was minor enough that no one seems to care. Meanwhile, Ecchi Secrets and Hentai Girls After Party both released last month… correction: last week… so yeah — smut’s still clearly allowed.
(Steamdeck is aces - but it isn't a hybrid console is it?)
I think in the sea of games I want that are upcoming, this would feature hugely down the list. So, i don't see me getting this, LOL.
2 years ago on the Switch 1 and with good reviews I would have probably gone for it.
This reminds me a ton of Lollipop Chainsaw.
90% of this company's games are wrestling games, and they used to own a majority stake in a wrestling league, but yes let's only mention them in association with Earth Defense Force.
