    Roguelites are all about repetition, and Full Metal Schoolgirl has that “one more go” factor that makes the genre so darn compelling. Its tongue in cheek premise resonates in these wild times, and its gameplay – with a bit of tinkering – blends character action with third-person shooting in a fresh and interesting way. You just need to be prepared for a bit of frustration and a pinch of jank: this isn’t a straight-A student by any stretch, but its robotic heart’s in the right place.

    Full Metal Schoolgirl delivers a great satire on Japanese "Black Companies" and has a solid foundation, but it needs more polished gameplay to justify its roguelike aspect, which quickly becomes very repetitive.
