 PLATFORM: DS
s a Front Mission fan, there’s not much to complain about in this DS remake of the original game – it’s an absolutely solid, faithful port with decent controls. As a strategy/RPG enthusiast, however, the archaic design pales in comparison with recent efforts. The various interlocking systems (pilot experience, wanzer customization, and grid-based combat) work well together, but are extremely simplistic by today’s standards. It’s entertaining enough to plow through the two campaigns, but the fact that there are fairly clear-cut optimal solutions to all three facets of gameplay makes this nothing more than a mildly enjoyable look at part of the genre’s history.
