The fans wanted turn based mechs.In the year 2171, the world is a changed place.

You would think they would give fans what they wanted and just do more turn based but noooo they had to do an armored core rip off and after years of the franchise being dead, a MGS rip off. They made one spin off game that also flopped, other than that nothing has been done with the franchise since evolved. FME was a completely different game than the previous ones, and it was so bad that it killed the front mission franchise entirely. I think it would be important to watch some gameplay or make good use of the first 2 hours. But it doesn't seem to be the same kind of games. I also bought about a knee high stack of lore books because I find the history and such so interesting for some reason.īut from what I understand, loads of folks like FM. I like the non-tactic merc bits they have as well (I hope MW5:M has those aspects).

I have 418 hours in the current Battletech. That's closer to the Mechwarrior games (where you pilot a mech) than the Battletech games (where you run a lance or some). Originally posted by Ayar:The only Front Mission I own is Front Mission Evolved. But thankfully its not at all like Front Mission Evolved. The choice is yours.Īs someone who loves both games I'd say Battletech might scratch some of that Front Mission itch. You can also do a 'career mode' that skips the storyline completely. The game itself does have a heavy fixed storyline similar to Front Mission, but between missions of that storyline you can run as many randomly generated missions as you want. Unlike Front Mission, you create your own hero and team instead of preset characters.Īs others mentioned, Battletech does have some pretty good lore behind it. You customize your mechs and send them on missions. Like FM3, this game is a turn based mech combat simulator. I would love to see it get remade like they're doing with FF7. Is the story and lore of the game good? Like would you say the setting is interesting and the story is good or is the story just there to facilitate the mech combat?Īll i'm gonna say is front mission 3 is one of my favorite ps1 games and I have incredibly fond memories of that game.įront Mission 3 was awesome. Originally posted by Rosebourne:So I heard that this game reminds people a lot of that game (I know it's it's the tabletop game almost verbatim).
