It makes sense to go for a more uniform look with more remakes to come. Compared to the original version, the graphics land closer to Front Mission 3. But can this title from 1995 - when the company was still called Square - keep up with today’s SRPG young guns, and is the remake worthy of a classic title?įront Mission 1 st Remake‘s updates to the original game are mainly cosmetic, but the visuals got a complete overhaul, with a polygonal style replacing the Super Famicom’s pixels. Now, FE has refurbished the wanzer ( Front Mission’s version of mechs) with a fresh salvo of firepower. The original Front Mission got a somewhat muted remake/re-release back on the Nintendo DS, long after the series made its global debut with Front Mission 3. It’s not a series without the first game, so let’s start at the beginning. The West has had a strange relationship with Square Enix’s mech series, but with Forever Entertainment’s (FE) plans to remake at least the first three games, it looks like we’re about to become BFFs. So, it’s a great time for Front Mission to come back to the forefront. With any luck now the first title is out we'll get the follow ups much sooner considering how this was teased for a Summer release and we only just got it now.It’s been a resurgent year for strategy RPGs, and it’s also a good time for mechs. Never played the second game so that'll be nice to finally be able to check out, would be awesome if a port of Gun Hazard also came out. Really curious how the next two remakes will be as FM3 is one of my top games of all time, even just a new coat of paint and maybe a little update to the localization and I'll be thrilled. Just checked out a guide and I'm a touch over half way through and if I keep this up I'll probably finish it up within a week or so depending on how much time I level units in the arena. On the SNES version I save scummed a fair bit but kind of lost interest in the first third or so. Yeah I remember hitting that difficulty spike in the DS version and just quitting, I'm guessing I just didn't get the correct way to play because on this version I had a little push back but rather far and it's mostly a cakewalk once it all clicked.
