    they came back and did more updates to the game, after it released

    CONS
    competition is stiff when it comes to tactic games, Xcom comes to mind.
    Still feels very dated, would have been better to make a whole new game

    The phrase "that's XCOM baby" should be replaced with "that's Front Mission baby".

    I love turn-based strategy games, but I absolutely hate Front Mission first remake.

    The RNG is just absolutely brutal and frustrating, On my turn, I will miss half of my shots even the I am taking the highest chance shots I can. It is such a brutal grind repeating turn after turn only for your units to keep missing. Then you run into a boss enemy and one of your parts gets one shotted. So not a whole lot of tactics or strategy on the go here.

    While there are lots of parts in the game you will only use a handful of them.
    Add a very meh story and the grinding you have to do in the arenas to have money to buy parts and it is a horrible game.    … Expand

    This game was a 0 when it originally came out and the price-tag is too high for such a disgraceful lack of soul and content. Square Enix will just throw anything out and I think that's why I do not respect them. Final Fantasy Crisis Core for XBOX but not Remake for XBOX? This company is not loyal to its customer base and supporters. Jim Ryan completely dictates how they release games.

    One of the worse and craziest hard games. It feels more like a puzzle game with lucky shots and not a real tactics game. Upgrades are useless even if you gather a big amount of money and buy the best upgrades the enemies are always stronger and always at bigger numbers.

This is the type of game made for try-hards it's for people that love of what i call playing with a masochistic gameplay the kind of people that don't bother losing even by the weakest enemy. It's not fun at all it's just feels like hard work so no thanks… Expand

    Front Mission 1st: Remake, like its predecessor, caters to a niche audience, and even dedicated strategy RPG enthusiasts may encounter the demanding intricacies in the gameplay. Every aspect of the Wanzers necessitates careful consideration, and resources can deplete rapidly, leading to extended grinding sessions to ensure readiness for impending battles. While Front Mission 1st: Remakeoffers a commendable alternative to the original, some may wonder if a snappier, HD-2D reimagining could have been a more fitting approach. The success of these efforts sets the stage for the reception of more ambitious upcoming entries in the Front Missionseries.

    This is an interesting anti-war story with two extensive campaigns told from two different perspectives, and with extensive options for customizing mechs and additional gameplay options. The game has impressive modern graphics, sound, and music. However, there are some problems: the length of the game can lead to monotony, and the only way to avoid this is by playing in small doses. The battles can occasionally feel too random, especially at the beginning of the main campaign. The controls could also be better.

    Front Mission 1st may have had a fresh coat of paint but the mechanisms inside this lumbering mech are starting to show their age.
