About the Front Mission Series
Front Mission is a long-running tactical role-playing game series originally developed by G-Craft and later by Square Enix, first appearing on the Super Famicom in 1995. Set in a world grappling with geopolitical tensions and the constant threat of war, the series places players in command of customizable mechs known as Wanzers. These powerful machines form the core of the military forces involved in the conflicts depicted across the Front Mission universe.
Gameplay in Front Mission typically unfolds in a turn-based, grid-based tactical environment. Players manage a squad of pilots and their Wanzers, moving them across battlefields to engage enemy forces. What makes Front Mission stand out is its deep customization system for Wanzers. Before a mission, you can equip different weapons like machine guns, missile launchers, or melee weapons, swap out armor plating for better defense, and install specialized parts like boosters or active shields. The condition of your mech matters; if a leg is destroyed, the Wanzer might not be able to move. If an arm is shot off, the pilot might lose access to a weapon.
Combat in Front Mission requires careful planning. Each turn, you select a Wanzer, choose its movement, and then target specific parts of an enemy unit. For instance, a player might decide to target an enemy's weapon arm to disarm it, or its legs to immobilize it, before delivering a finishing blow to the cockpit or body. The narrative often follows soldiers caught in large-scale conflicts, exploring themes of military life, political maneuvering, and the human cost of war, all while you pilot your customized Wanzers through intense battles across various global landscapes.
