Release Date: June 26, 2025
A new version of the popular tactical jRPG, developed by MegaPixel Studio from Poland. Front Mission 3: Remake allows us to participate in turn-based battles using mechs called wanzers. This new version offers refreshed graphics and music, including a dubbing during cut-scenes.
Front Mission 3: Remake is a new version of the 1999 game, created from scratch. The original game was released on PS1 by the Japanese Square Enix. The remake of this tactical jRPG about mech battles was developed by MegaPixel Studio from Poland.
In the remake of Front Mission 3, just like in the original, we are dealing with an RPG gameplay that emphasizes the story and is based on turn-based battles between wanzers. These modified bipedal machines are controlled by us on tiled arenas, and each move costs additional action points. Victory involves immobilizing enemy mechs by damaging their mechanical limbs or disarming them.
The purpose of our struggles, however, is not only to defeat opponents, but also to protect a designated wanzer or to reach a specific location on time. Some machines are piloted by people inside, and they can get injured and be ejected in an emergency. Additionally, there is an option to take over the remaining mechs, and even to continue the ongoing battle without them.
The game maintains a structure of double narration, so depending on the choices made, we follow one of two plot paths. The added quick battle mode allows for shortening the duration of skirmishes, while thanks to the new camouflage options for wanzers, we can achieve a unique appearance on the battlefield.
Front Mission 3: Remake presents a vision of the year 2112 and tells the story of Kazuki Takemura and Ryogo, who after a routine delivery get entangled in an armed conflict. Depending on the choice made at the beginning, we can ally with Alisa or Emma Klamsky to investigate events related to the secret M.I.D.A.S. weapon project. Each of the plot paths addresses the topic of military tensions, corporate involvement in them, and technological threats.
Both the audio and the visuals have been refreshed. The graphics were revamped, adding three-dimensional effects and making the battle animations smoother. The interface was also modified. Moreover, Front Mission 3: Remake allows to switch between modern and classic settings.
In addition to using musical recomposition, voices were added to the cutscenes, of which there are many in the game.
