When you see a game called FULL METAL SCHOOLGIRL, you may not think much of it but this hilarious new game is chock full of fun.
For a game about robotic students raging against a sinister regime, Full Metal Schoolgirl is weirdly relatable.
D3 Publisher is known for making games that aren’t particularly polished or developed with the highest of budgets, but they’re almost always somewhat charming due to their simplistic gameplay loops and irreverent B-tier charm.
