His quest brings him closer to the conspiracy behind the incident and the forces that orchestrated it. With dozens of characters to meet, a well-thought-out story, and no-good-or-evil protagonists, Front Mission is the classic of the Japanese strategy RPG genre – now available worldwide. I’m happy to see the Front Mission series finally getting some love over here in North America. It hasn’t been completely absent, but our coverage has been spotty. We missed a slew of them and only received three out of the five “numbered” titles. The fact that we’re getting not one but three remakes (one of them having never been localized) gives me hope that we’ll see more of the series over here.

It worked for Yakuza, right? This is actually my first chance to really explore the series. My previous experience with it was watching my roommate fall in love with Front Mission 4. I don’t remember why I didn’t try it for myself because I recall it looking cool. Mechs are cool. Tactical strategy games are cool. It’s enough that I bookmarked the game in my brain and planned to one day circle around back to it. Today’s the day, and I can start at the beginning. This first Front Mission title kicks off in the year 2090, and wouldn’t you know it, there’s conflict brewing. MONOPOLY Madness Switch

The Oceania Cooperative Union (OCU) and the Unified Continental States (UCS) share a single land border on Huffman Island, and while investigating a UCS base, our protagonist Royd — yes, Royd — watches as his fiancee’s mech (known in the Front Mission universe as Panzer’s) is blown to smithereens. What follows is a journey to get to the bottom of what happened to Karen across a pair of campaigns, with one for each faction. The UCS campaign is tougher, and while it’s full of melodrama and some amusingly Western names (it’s not often you find a character in a strategy RPG called Kevin, let’s be honest), it’s great to have the full story here after the UCS campaign was previously added to the re-released PlayStation and DS versions.

His quest leads him closer and closer to the conspiracy behind the incident and the powers that orchestrated it.

Front Mission 1st: Remake is a remake of the first Front Mission, Front Mission 1st. Technically, Front Mission 1st isn’t the first Front Mission; it’s a 2003 PS1 port of the 1995 Super Famicom game, Front Mission. So Front Mission 1st is technically a remake of a remake, but both said remakes are really remasters. Front Mission 1st: Remake is a remaster of a remaster, but unlike the first remaster, this remaster remakes the remaster’s graphics. The biggest difference is that it’s been remade in 3D, but it includes all the content from the PS1 version. The gameplay is largely the same. If the tweaks to the gameplay are too much, you can even set them to be closer to the original. Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 3 Switch

Which is definitely okay by me. Likewise, the soundtrack has been remastered, but this is less of a major change. I kept switching back and forth between classic and remastered. Some tracks were better, and others weren’t. Beyond that, I don’t have enough experience with the original to really nitpick the differences. Front Mission tells the story of the OCU and the UCS, who have aggravatingly similar names. They’re fighting over a croissant-shaped island in the pacific called Huffman, and it’s clear off the hop that things aren’t quite right. On the OCU side, Royd Clive loses his Fiancee while investigating a weapons factory.

Discharged from the military, Royd sets out to investigate what happened to Karen.

Aside from the routine story, Front Mission 1st manages to combine some of the best parts of the tactical and mech sub-genres. You have grid-based maps, and you have a toybox of parts to build robots from. In this case, they’re called “Wanzers” which comes from the German “Wanderpanzers” or “walking tanks.” That still sounds kind of dumb to the anglophone ear, but it’s supposed to be pronounced “Vanzers.” It still sounds kind of dumb, but it doesn’t matter; mechs are awesome. You put them together from a variety of parts, then slap on some weapons or shields. You can also fall back on good ‘ol fisticuffs, which always looks funny to me.

I n battle, the legs, individual arms, or body can be damaged. While you can still move without legs, you can’t hold weapons without arms or live without a body. This means you’re constantly balancing armor, HP, and other stats. He’s disavowed but finds himself fighting alongside his old employer through the mercenary group, the Canyon Crows. It presents a rather gritty perspective on war. The whole “war is hell” vector is certainly not new for video games or even the mecha genre in general. Neither is the whole dead girlfriend thing. It’s a fine framework, but it’s hardly novel. That said, it has a good pace to it and serves as a good backdrop. MONSTER HUNTER RISE Switch
