I was gonna get some ice cream, but then — wait, oh yeah, Full Metal Schoolgirl. So picture this: It’s Japan, 2089. Everything’s gone all cyber-punk-meltdown, like, what even happened to ice cream there? D3Publisher is saying, “Hey, wake up! We got a game announcement here.” October 23rd, mark it down or forget it, whatever works.
Yuke’s (y’know, those folks behind things like EARTH DEFENSE FORCE and AEW) they’re back with this wild game. It’s got attitude, like, heavy-duty, metal-slamming-on-metal kinda stuff. Saw the trailer? Forget it, let’s dig into the meat of it:
So, you’re in this world, right, run by Meternal Jobz, a company so creepy they turned humans into “Working Dead” robots. This one schoolgirl, not just any schoolgirl — she’s a cyborg! — decides enough’s enough. You gotta imagine her climbing this 100-story mega-building, smashing through the zombie workforce, slashing through chaos and bureaucracy. Personal vendetta style.
Nobuyuki Okajima, he’s the guy behind D3Publisher, says it’s all about rebelling. Feels like a satire on capitalism, with bullets and blades. Maybe I’m making it deeper than it is. Or maybe it’s what they want? Who knows.
And you’re not just fighting, you’re livestreaming the chaos! Yeah, entertain the masses while you dodge killer bots and hit that top floor to take out the big baddie CEO. Viewers cheer you on, throw you tips… there’s something real in that. Even if you crash and burn, you’ve got your online crowd, right? Strange comfort.
So, Switch 2 folks, no pre-orders yet. But hey, they’ve got a site up with more stuff if you’re itching for it.
Anyway, reclaim a world where maybe someday they can have ice cream again. But till then, it’s all metal madness and a schoolgirl with nothing left to lose.
