Yokosuka, Japan, 2112 AD. The young student Kazuki Takemura works as a test pilot with Kirishima Industries, a production company of military battle wanzers (walking panzers), mechanized walking robots with movement similar to that of a human being. Kazuki has just finished testing the combat capabilities of the new Zeinslev prototype in the lab. Finishing his day's tasks he is asked by his best friend Ryogo to help with a company delivery to the Japanese Defense Force (JDF) military based. This simple choice determines where Kazuki is when strange things begin happening in Japan. A large explosion, a wanzer theft, his sister Alysia being hunted, rumors of a powerful weapon, and accusations of involvement by agents of both the OCU and the USN all make the situation more complicated. Kazuki is swept up in a plot of conflicting loyalties and attacked by various factions. He will need to recruit additional characters and wanzers in order to be victorious in battle and investigate leads to uncover what is going on.

Jogava e adorava na adolescência, re-jogando em 2022 percebo que há muitas falhas, mas que o jogo ainda mantém muito de seu charme.

O combate é muito legal, apesar de que algumas habilidades são claramente melhores do que outras. Mas usá-las não deixa o jogo menos divertido. Eu ainda acho os gráficos muito atrantes, mesmo sendo blocos de PS1. Talvez seja um pouco de nostalgia falando.

O fator que me decepcionou agora que tenho mais discernimento foi a história. Apesar de que os conflitos políticos e como a narrativa se desenvolve é divertida no geral, com sua equipe passando por diversos conflitos de facções diferentes, a escrita em si é sofrível. Personagens confiam uns nos outros sem motivos (ou com evidências contrárias), planos são definidos sem discussão realista, e os personagens são todos irritantes e não parecem pessoas reais. O protagonista age como uma criança, seu companheiro principal é um mulherengo que toma decisões absurdas porque uma mulher bonita apareceu, etc.

Conseguindo superar a escrita, o jogo em si é divertido. Devo re-jogar todos os outros Front Mission no futuro. Torço para que a escrita seja melhor neles.

I like giant robots and I like tactical games. This does both of those things. Also it has some great music. Also it has the internet!

Going from Majin Tensei to this was like being a Victorian era child used to drinking water with Typhoids in it and being given a glass of Mcdonald's Sprite.

Genuinely an amazing Tactics game, with a really fun story of political intrigue and synths, I'd recommend this one to anyone who likes Mechs or Tactical RPGS!

Mostly amazing, except that it consistently runs at 15 fps. Hopefully the remake keeps the charm of this game and fixes it's only issue.

Gem of a tactics game on PSX that I can wholeheartedly recommend as an entry to the series, or as a standalone tactics experience. This was the game that got me interested in Front Mission and its storylines full of conspiracy, political intrigue, and war crimes. Combat, skills, story progression, and writing are all good, though combat encourages cheesing the eject/capture mechanic which is not prevalent in other Front Mission games. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but FM3 is definitely the black sheep of the series. I will definitely be playing the Switch remake, as well as the FM3 Reload romhack when it's fully released.
