About the Game
A classic tactical RPG returns! The second game in the main Front Mission storyline is finally available outside of Japan for the first time.
FRONT MISSION 2: Remake blends intense strategy with a deep and involved storyline.
12 years have passed since the second Huffman conflict. The impoverished People's Republic of Alordesh has been suffering a severe economic decline ever since the war ended. In June 2102, soldiers of the Alordesh Army rise up and, led by Ven Mackarge, declare independence from the O.C.U. (Oceania Cooperative Union).
Ash, an O.C.U. soldier, manages to survive the ensuing battle, but Alordesh is completely overrun by the Revolutionary Army. Ash and his surviving teammates infiltrate Alordesh's chaotic underground in an attempt to escape the country. However, they soon discover that there is a huge conspiracy behind the coup.
In FRONT MISSION 2: Remake, the perspective switches between three characters: Ash, Lisa, and Thomas, creating a worldview that goes beyond a simple dichotomy between good and evil.
FRONT MISSION 2: Remake preserves the mature story, strategic turn-based combat, and Wanzer customization options of the original. Enjoy the revitalized classic with updated visuals and new features and enhancements!

The evaluation is mixed, but negative opinions prevail. The game retains appealing elements for fans of the original and tactical RPG enthusiasts, but issues with combat balance, the UI, translation, bugs, and stability greatly reduce purchase satisfaction. · 43/100

Best for The main player base consists of existing FRONT MISSION fans and tactical RPG players who experienced the original. They welcome the Wanzer designs, wartime atmosphere, high difficulty, and customization, but tend to feel that the UI, quality-of-life features, and balance have regressed compared with the original or the previous remake. Some newcomers are satisfied simply by experiencing the original’s characteristics, while players who played the latest bug-fixed versions tend to be relatively more positive.
Strengths
The original’s mature war narrative, turn-based mech combat, and Wanzer customization can be enjoyed on modern platforms.
Some versions work more stably after patches, and the game is considered to have better performance and control responsiveness than the previous remake.
Loading segments have been reduced and combat animations sped up, improving the overall pace.
Weaknesses
Strict limits on ammunition, repairs, action points, and supplies often turn the game into repetitive attrition battles and enemy encirclements rather than strategic decision-making.
The UI and controls are unintuitive, while inadequate system explanations and menu layouts make chip upgrades and item usage difficult to understand.
Critical or serious bugs, including freezes, unusable items, dialogue and event conflicts, and skipped turns, have been reported.
