The Front Mission 1st: Remake
The Front Mission 1st: Remake has arrived on PC, allowing players to dive back into the world of tactical mech action. Developed by Forever Entertainment, this remake of the 1995 Front Mission has garnered positive reviews from fans, who are excited to finally have a worldwide release of the long-running series. With Front Mission 2 and 3 hitting the Epic Store in recent years, the series is gaining a whole new audience.
With a name like 'Wanzer' and a goofily-named mech, this remake of the very first Front Mission is a perfect fit for the upcoming Steam Deck, as some early Steam reviewers have noted. The game introduces new difficulty settings, offering a fresh experience while still maintaining the challenging missions that the series is known for.
The Front Mission games explore serious and mature themes, diving into the reality of war and presenting a world where neither side is completely free of sin. In this remake, players can explore both sides of a border conflict between futuristic mega-alliances in the game's two campaigns, each featuring three acts.
The gameplay is smooth and easy to pick up, allowing players to easily get to grips with the mechs and the tactical side of things. The customization options are wonderful, letting players tailor their Wanzers and pilots to their liking. The graphics strike a good balance between a retro look and modern design.
For those seeking the original experience, Classic mode replicates the original's fixed camera angle and soundtrack. For a more modern feel, there is Modern mode, which offers a dynamic camera and reorchestrated soundtrack.
With the release of Front Mission 2 and 3 by Forever Entertainment still in the works, Front Mission fans have much to look forward to. Front Mission 1st: Remake is now available on Epic, GOG, and Steam for $35.
Grab your stompy war machines and dive into the revived classic that is Front Mission 1st: Remake. Stay tuned for the Front Mission Remake 2 and Front Mission Remake 3 release dates to see what's coming up next in this world.
