    I'm very happy that I waited to play FREEDOM WARS Remastered online before writing my review because its action-intense combat lends itself so perfectly to multiplayer matches that I can't wait to play it again. You know what? I think I'll go do that now.

    Despite its limitations, Freedom Wars Remastered is an excellent way to revisit one of the most enjoyable monster-hunting games released for the PS Vita. Its story and concepts continue to resonate, and the combat, thanks to the improvements brought in this remaster, is even more fluid and functional. Unfortunately, issues with melee combat persist, and some technical limitations hinder the overall package.

    Freedom Wars Remastered is an excellent way to relive the restrictive action game. In 2025, the game's forward-thinking multiplayer components have a greater chance of capturing a dedicated community, and graphical and technical enhancements make it the definitive way to play. But it's a PS Vita game at its core; constant loading, dull characters, comparatively simple combat, and endless busy work have somewhat dented our rosy memories of the original game.

    Freedom Wars Remastered does a good job at what it sets out to do: the visual overhaul is great, and it’s the definitive version of the game with various graphical and gameplay improvements. Unfortunately, a simple remaster can’t fix all of the game’s issues, such as awkward animations and highly repetitive combat.

    Even if a remake would certainly have been more profitable, Freedom Wars Remastered allows us to (re)discover an original game that certainly contributed to the development of hunting games in its day.

    Freedom Wars REMASTERED is a good example of how a good game on a handheld 11 years ago was a technological marvel with addictive gameplay, but nowadays, with the few improvements it has received, it becomes something passable. The game itself is not bad, but in this niche of group arena battles against giant enemies that demand strategy and patience, there are other better examples everywhere. In the meantime, Freedom Wars remains as an option if you are really enthusiastic about the genre.
