Mecha tactics are back in season
Front Missionis a piece of Square’s history that is exciting to see return. The strategic maneuvering of Wanzers around environments and big mech management makes it stand out a bit from the PlayStation 1 era of RPGs.
It’s been a tactics-heavy year, too.Triangle Strategystarted the year off strong,Tactics Ogre: Rebornis right around the corner, and a newFire Emblemis just a few months away.
With three remakes currently set out,Front Mission 1st: Remakewill get to set the tone for what’s to come with these updatedFront Missiontitles. But hopefully it turns out strong.Front Missionis a neat series I’ve wanted to go back to for a while. Making these entries easily accessible, and putting them on the Switch at that, seems like a worthy endeavor.
