Front Mission 1st: Remake

FRONT MISSION 1st: Remake is a tactical, turn-based RPG in which you command Wanzers, giant military machines, and their pilots. In 2090, conflicts are fought with Wanzers, and Huffman Island—the only land border shared by the Oceania Cooperative Union (O.C.U.) and the Unified Continental States (U.C.S.)—becomes a battleground.

The conflict on Huffman Island

Captain Royd Clive leads an O.C.U. reconnaissance platoon sent to investigate a U.C.S. munitions plant. U.C.S. Wanzers ambush the platoon, setting off events that plunge the island into war. Royd’s fiancée, Lieutenant Karen Meure, goes missing in action, and after being discharged from the military, Royd sets out to discover what happened to her. His search brings him closer to the conspiracy behind the incident and the powers that orchestrated it. The story features dozens of characters and protagonists whose motives are not simply divided into good and evil.

Campaigns and combat

Play through two campaigns, for the O.C.U. and the U.C.S., with multiple difficulty levels. You can choose Modern or Classic gameplay, use a free camera and a new tactical map, and customize Wanzers and pilots. The remake also features refreshed graphics and a choice between a reorchestrated soundtrack and the original music.

Mercenaries Update

The Mercenaries Update adds six single-player scenarios, each with its own challenges and narrative. These missions also introduce new types of terrain tiles. Local multiplayer lets you play skirmishes with two controllers or through hot-seat play, on six new maps: Buried Factory, Leaves of the Fallen, Porunta’s Hideaway, and three more that unlock as you progress.

The update also adds 15 playable characters and a commander character, who introduces the update and assembles a team.
