FRONT MISSION 1st: Remake for ipod instal

This game is also much better than the other Front Mission games. Too conservative and you become overwhelmed and lose anyway. Push too hard and your repair bill next level will be over the top. The actual combat is fantastic, you really need to be careful. Expect to spend up to an hour between levels to optimize your equipment. This is a game for experienced tactics gamers, but not quite as hard as FE Geneology of the Holy War or Thracia 776.

Gameplay, there is a lot of micromanaging. Without making any spoilers past the into cutscene, the purpose of the game is to find your fiance who went missing and while looking for her you build up an army and get deeper and deeper into enemy occupied territory.

The story is a bit dark compared to other games in the JRPG genre, very comparable to an actual war.

Thanks to Forever Entertainment for not meddling with a great classic and bringing this gem back to the current consoles!Īmong the best Tactics JRPG's out there along with Fire Emblem Awakening, Shining Force 3 and Tactics Ogre Let us Cling Together. (Though the original SNES Soundtrack still hasn't lost it's appeal either ) ) It's what I feel remakes should be: Not a whole new game plastered on the name of the original but making what made the original great look and sound good in current times. They didn't meddle with the underlying basics - thank god for that. The remake has decent upgraded graphics and a reimagined soundtrack and I must say that this is almost the exact kind of remake I'd have wished for. Yes, people that enjoy being spoon fed by all the quality of life improvements that most current tactic games offer might not enjoy this as much as the people that played the original do, but once you get a link of several 'switch' pilot skills triggering in a close battle I'm sure you'll enjoy this as much now as you would have back then! :D The menus were thankfully all in English and you do understand the basic concept of the story still anyways - and the game mechanics were never better implemented than in this first part of the series! This game was a blast back in the day, though playing it in Japanese as a teenager without understanding most of the story was a bit of a downer.
