Once an enemy has received enough damage, they’ll begin considering surrender, and once they’ve taken another hit in this state they will surrender and their wanzer will be added to your fleet after the battle. Parts, weapons and upgrades appear in the shop at extremely rare intervals, meaning you’re left to steal and salvage enemy wanzers, which is its own problem. This should be an endless well of tweaking options, but the game offers you almost nothing to this end.
Instead, you have your wanzer, with which you can customize its body, legs, left and right arms, backpack, weapon loadout and more. Firstly, this is a game where you really don’t come in to various unit types like you would in something like Final Fantasy Tactics or Disgaea.
Your wanzers can be customized with various parts, weapons, skills and consumable items, and there’s an underlying rock, paper, scissors system in place that dictates which weapons are effective against which armor types.Īt its core, the gameplay is all well and good, however there are two major issues that went a long way in turning me off of this one. While this objective is occasionally interesting, you’ll almost always be required to simply destroy all the enemies on the board. You begin each round with your units on the map, tasked with a victory objective. Gameplay in Front Mission 3 is fairly straight forward as far as tactical RPGs go. Every line in the game felt like it was delivered by Tommy Wiseau from The Room. The cast in Front Mission 3 are this side of terrible, and the shaky translation and localization do it absolutely no favors. Problem is, Kazuki is a hyperactive whiny dipshit, his friend’s a pervy moron, and the first two characters you team up with are a racist soldier and a woman with the personality of bread. Now it’s up to these two kids and a handful of highly trained agents to take hold of their wanzers and save the planet from annihilation! You take control of Kazuki Takemura who, through sheer circumstance, lands himself and his best friend in the middle of this worldwide conspiracy. A powerful new energy source has been stolen from a UN agency, and is in the process of becoming weaponized and replicated. In the not-so-distant future mankind has… Well I guess the state of the world is more or less like it is today, only with giant mechs, known in Front Mission 3 as “Wanzers”.
