Front Mission Reviewed

Filed in archive Nintendo DS on November 1, 2007

Square-Enix Mech strategy game Front Mission has hit the DS, and IGN has given it an in-depth review.




The net result seems to be a game that might not turn-on the casual gamer, but will have true staying power for strategy and mech hardcore gamers. They write that:

"Front Mission isn't a game for the average DS gamer. It's classically rooted, expects a ton from the player, and is very deep and involved from front to back. Battles can push on well over the hour mark, with one bad move or wasted attack making all the difference in the world. It comes with the territory though, as Front Mission is about as pure of a port as you could want from a game over a decade old, complete with the same classic pixel art, musical composition, story, and content as before. DS players will get a basic local multiplayer mode as well, which lets you pit team against team in one-on-one battles, but unfortunately allows for no online play."

Be sure to check out the full review, which gives the game a respectable score of 7.8
