Man, ever think about a world where office folks have to keep hustling for like 24 hours straight? No breaks, no coffee runs? I can barely handle an 8-hour day. Anyway, in this wild setup, who do you think steps up to put these oppressive suits in their place? You won’t believe it, but it’s this “fully armed cyborg heroine.” Yeah, she’s not messing around, slicing and dicing through this evil company structure like they’re pixelated bad guys in a game or something. Weird visual, right?
So, dig this, Yuke’s, those guys who brought us wrestling chaos and Earth Defense Force madness, teamed up with D3Publisher—you know, the folks behind The OneChanbara series. They’ve cooked up something called Full Metal Schoolgirl. I mean, the name itself is a trip, don’t you think? Saw the trailer, and if you’re into high-energy, action-packed, everything-up-in-flames kinda game, you’re probably gonna love watching these avatars kick some corporate butt in schoolgirl uniforms. A fashion statement? Maybe? Who knows.
You get to play as one of two mechanical schoolgirls—yep, crazy much? You’re on this insane mission to climb a 100-story building owned by Meternal Jobz (spotted their pun or just me?). Anyways, packed with these brainless corporate zombies—you know, the “Working Dead”—and a security system straight outta a sci-fi movie. Each level gets more nuts than the last, and you’re just leveling up, turning your cyborg into a complete powerhouse as you go. Video game logic, right?
I swear the trailer’s got this cheeky vibe, like Yuke’s really thought, “Why not go all out with this ridiculous yet awesome concept?” The English trailer had me chuckling a bit, but the Japanese one? Man, it had this catchy tune. Now that’s stuck in my head—can’t say I hate it, though.
Oh, and don’t forget the cyber-schoolgirls? Total reality TV moment—streaming everything live. Gamers in the game are throwing donations, stacking up those upgrades. Makes me wonder, should I start livestreaming my daily life? Maybe not.
Dropping on Oct. 23, and if you’re ever on a Nintendo Switch 2, or got a PS5, or, what’s it—Windows PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store? You’re all set to dive into this mad ride. Can’t wait to see how the world reacts to this one. Wild, right?
