FRONT MISSION 1st: Remake is a new version of a tactical Japanese RPG from the 1990s. The game revolves around leading mech squads in combat missions, played using a turn-based battle system.
FRONT MISSION 1st: Remake is a refreshed version of the classic tactical RPG released in 1995 for the 16-bit SNES console. The new edition was developed by Polish studio Forever Entertainment.
The game takes us to the year 2090, to the times when battles are fought mainly using mechs known as wanzers. The action takes place on a fictional island Huffman, located somewhere in the Pacific, which for many decades has been a place of military conflicts. FRONT MISSION 1st: Remake tells the story of the most recent war, which involves two factions. One is the forces of the United States of the New Continent/USN, the superpower formed after the merger of all the countries of North America and South America. The other is the Oceania Cooperative Union/OCN, which includes Australia and the nations of South Asia once Southeast Asia.
FRONT MISSION 1st: The Remake offers two story campaigns, one each for the USN and OCN, allowing us to explore both sides of the conflict. The two storylines are closely intertwined and only by playing through both can we fully understand the story.
FRONT MISSION 1st: Remake keeps the basic gameplay mechanics from the original. So we get a classically realized tactical RPG. The game focuses mainly on completing combat missions, in which we command a small squad of mechs. Skirmishes are played in turn-based system. Wanzers are powerful machines in which arms, legs and the body of the machine have separate "life points", and destroying a given section affects the operation of the entire unit. During the game we also encounter many other types of enemies, including tanks, mobile combat platforms or infantry soldiers.
Between missions we go to cities and bases where we can talk to characters and modify mechs. The game offers an extensive system of configuring and upgrading machines, allowing us to install various weapons, armor, on-board systems and accessories such as backpacks with extra power, allowing us to use weapons that normally exceed the capabilities of a given mech.
FRONT MISSION 1st: Remake offers a single player mode only.
The project is a full remake. While the original was made in 2D, the new version offers fully 3D graphics. However, the graphics was designed in a way that preserves the style and atmosphere of the original.

Game Ratings for Front Mission 1st: Remake Video Game.
Gaming Age: by Dustin Chadwell
Front Mission 1st: Remake seems to mark a possible resurgence for the strategy mech RPG in the West, and while I'd like to have seen a little more done with the concept of a remake here, I still enjoyed my time spent with one of the two campaigns for this review. It's not perfect by any stretch, but it was nice to revisit the original game again.
Impulsegamer: 4.1 / 5
Front Mission: 1st Remake has everything that a fan of the series would want with improvements to both the visuals and UI. The game is approachable and the difficulty can be toned down if needed. Hopefully this game will sell well enough that we will see more of the Front Mission games come to the west.
Nintendo Life: 5 / 10 by Trent Cannon
Unless you're a die-hard fan of the original or the TRPG genre in general, you're probably safe to give this one a miss or just lower the difficulty of the combat to enjoy the story. Despite the strengths of the setting and the characters, the gameplay becomes more frustrating than fun and won't keep most players engaged past the first few hours. It's a shame because there is a brilliance to telling the same story from two opposing points of view, but that gets buried beneath poorly implemented mechanics. Unfortunately, modern visuals and sound can't salvage gameplay here that feels too random to be satisfying.
