Our take

If you’re looking for a chaotic action experience packed with over-the-top mechanics, Full Metal Schoolgirl might scratch that itch. However, at $49.99, it feels steep for what it offers - especially considering its rough edges. Expect fun, but don’t go in with high hopes for polish or depth.

Chaining together combos feels satisfying, but things can sometimes fall apart due to clunky controls. The visual style is cartoonish, with vibrant colors that complement the chaotic action, although the graphics feel dated compared to other Switch titles. When played in handheld mode, the action is still entertaining, but the frame rate drops during significant encounters can disrupt your flow. Comparatively, it plays like a mashup of Bayonetta and a side-scrolling shoot-'em-up, but lacks the depth and polish of those games. The story is a missed opportunity, with an intriguing premise that quickly devolves into cliché territory. Expect a lot of mindless fun, but be prepared for some frustration with mechanics that don’t always deliver.

Pros

Fast-paced combat with fluid animations makes battles engaging
Unique premise combining schoolgirl aesthetics with cybernetic warfare
Varied weapons and combo system encourages experimentation

Cons

Performance dips during intense action sequences, dropping frame rates
Story feels underdeveloped and predictable
Controls can be clunky, especially during complex combos

In Full Metal Schoolgirl, you control a cyborg heroine navigating through corporate-dominated landscapes. Players engage in frenetic gunplay mixed with sword slashing, utilizing mechanics like dodging rolls and combo chains. The game features various levels with distinct enemies and weapons to unlock, creating a fast-paced experience that rewards player skill. Expect to face waves of foes and engage in boss battles that require quick reflexes.

On Switch 2

On the Switch 2, Full Metal Schoolgirl runs comparably to its predecessors, but you might notice frame rate issues during high-action sequences. The controls are responsive but feel slightly imprecise, especially when trying to string together advanced combos. Docked mode looks better, but the experience can still be inconsistent.

Who it's for

This game is for players who enjoy chaotic action without demanding depth or narrative complexity. If you prefer intricate storytelling and refined mechanics, you might want to sit this one out.
