FULL METAL SCHOOLGIRL

Never change Japan.

After several runs of FMS, I am forced to revise my opinion to, sadly, regrettably, [i]not[/i] recommending it. The more I play it, the more I realize that most of the weapons in the game are just [b]bad.[/b] The shotguns and chainguns suffer basically all of the classic Videogame Firearm Sins at once: their "accuracy" is nothing akin to accurate, rendering them all but useless outside of [b]literal[/b] melee range, and the chaingun, despite sounding like a chaingun, and flashing like a chaingun, and getting a red barrel like a chaingun, fires at a rate of fire that could be matched by a [i]particularly[/i] vigorously-cranked 1876 Gatling gun - yes, the hand-cranked one. The "fancy" weapons all have fancy-pantsy gimmicks that do not in any way make up for their [b]basic lack of functionality[/b] in either lacking damage, having projectiles which propagate so slowly as to make the weapon functionally inaccurate even if they do fly where you're pointing, or taking an eternity to reload. The only weapon I actually [b]like[/b] is the Artemis rifle, because it's accurate enough to hit what I'm aiming at, hits hard enough to oneshot basic enemies and two- or three-shot harder ones, fi…

In this game I get to play as a gyaru robot girl with chainsaw hands and a minigun, so it's definitely not as bad as the reviews claim. It's mindless fun, worth it on sale. Definitely don't buy this for $50.

TL;DR Just mod some anime girls into Synthetik 2 and play that instead. The core gameplay of FMS is actually quite solid, in terms of mechanics and gamefeel. But holy mother of god does the game NOT respect your time in the slightest. The progression is similar to Persona 3, where you climb a massive tower one procedurally-generated floor at a time. Unlike P3, however, the game does not give you checkpoints, instead forcing you to start at Floor 1 every single time. You earn elevator keys (Which take you to Floor 10, 15, 20, and so on) by defeating the area boss, but these can only be used once. Which is a problem when the bosses are such a huge leap in difficulty compared to the normal enemies, which is perfectly fine in principle, but in FMS it means the boss runback after you die can easily take over 30 minutes, and that's just the first boss. You can easily double that time for the second boss. It's extremely hard to justify continuing when you die to a tough boss and it will be LITERALLY AN HOUR before you can try again. This can be alleviated somewhat with the elevator keys, but, once again, they're only single-use. This game has all the worst aspects of a roguelite wit…

This game is great. It really doesn't deserve this "Mixed" review staus at all. You play a hot robot girl killing robots through 100 floors. Bosses are pretty fun in this too. I guess maybe people find going through 100 floors tedious, I don't feel it. It's a roguelike, and that genre isn't for everyone. I don't know, I really like it. I have to say that I feel Onechanbara Aya's Battle Suit DLC cosmetic should be added to your cart with it if you purchase it because that just makes it more awesome.

it's cool, good vibes. maybe repetitive at first but, I'm gonna stick around. Fan Service is way lower than you think. the colors and charm are good.
