Midevil Chaos rates this game: 5/5It was quite ambitious at the time to create such a game! Despite its camera angle flaws, the game itself was brilliantly made, and the characters where very interesting. The game is a combination between Front Mission 3 in regards to the battles, and Mario RPG in regards to the camera perspective.
The only thing I couldn't figure out for the life of me back in the day, was how to use the supply truck. Unlike Front Mission 3 & 4, there is an actual supply truck that follows you around at some point.
In any case, There is also an arena where you can fight for money. Of course, this also means that you get the desire to buy yourself better equipment. Unlike the other Front Mission games, the shoulder weapons are very much more valuable in terms of maneuverability and quite ingeniously used.
A must play!
Anonymous says:Ahhh the Front Mission 1st... all I can say is that this is a RPG\turn-based strategy game. The player builds his own Robots,the characters gain levels and new battle skills. But the best part of this game is that the player can have up to 10+ WAWs(Wanzers) in battles. And Front Mission 1st is the hardest game from series. About graphics, well what can you expext from the first Front Mission game. When it first came out it was like WTH Graphics are awesome !!! If you are a fan of Front Mission series you will definitely play this one.
