Evaluation

FRONT MISSION 1st: Remake launched on June 30, 2023, as a tactical RPG remake of the classic Front Mission. After release, the developer shipped post-launch patches and quality-of-life improvements, then announced on January 18, 2024 that a free content update called "Mercenaries" was coming later that year. That update arrived on October 3, 2024, adding six new single-player scenarios, local multiplayer, six new maps, and 15 new playable characters — a substantial expansion of the game's content. Since the Mercenaries update launched, the developer has issued only maintenance patches: version 3.0.1 on February 25, 2025 fixed several bugs, and version 3.0.2 on March 24, 2026 added save slot improvements and 4K enhancements. Notably, the 3.0.2 patch updated the main menu to promote the separately released FRONT MISSION 2: Remake, suggesting the developer's active focus has shifted to that sequel. No further content updates for FRONT MISSION 1st: Remake have been announced, and no unreleased DLC appears in the store listing. The game now appears to be a complete, finished product with all planned content delivered.

About this game

FRONT MISSION 1st: Remake is an immersive, tactical turn-based RPG, placing you in command of the awe-inspiring Wanzers – powerful military machines.

Assume the role of valiant pilots navigating treacherous battlefields, where the true realities of war come alive with every strategic maneuver. With a meticulously crafted narrative that surprises at every turn, the game showcases an extensive combat and battle system. Enjoy all these features through refreshed graphics and a reorchestrated soundtrack, elevating the gaming experience of the classic Front Mission series.

In the year 2090, the world's conflicts are fought using giant war machines called Wanzers. Huffman Island, the only place where the Oceania Cooperative Union (O.C.U.) and the Unified Continental States (U.C.S.) share a land border is a hotbed of conflict.

An O.C.U. reconnaissance platoon led by Captain Royd Clive is assigned to investigate a U.C.S. munitions plant. They are ambushed by U.C.S. Wanzers, triggering a series of events that plunges the whole island into war. Royd's fiancée, Lieutenant Karen Meure, goes missing in action.

Discharged from the military, Royd sets out to investigate what happened to Karen. His quest leads him closer and closer to the conspiracy behind the incident and the powers that orchestrated it.

With dozens of characters to meet, its mature story, and non-Manichean protagonists, Front Mission is the classic of a tactical Japanese RPG genre, finally available worldwide.
