Here’s a quick description of the game from its Steam page.

About this Game

In the year 2090, the world's conflicts are fought using giant war machines called Wanzers. Huffman Island, the only place where the Oceania Cooperative Union (O.C.U.) and the Unified Continental States (U.C.S.) share a land border is a hotbed of conflict.

Story

An O.C.U. reconnaissance platoon led by Captain Royd Clive is assigned to investigate a U.C.S. munitions plant. They are ambushed by U.C.S. Wanzers, triggering a series of events that plunges the whole island into war. Royd's fiancée, Lieutenant Karen Meure, goes missing in action.

Discharged from the military, Royd sets out to investigate what happened to Karen. His quest leads him closer and closer to the conspiracy behind the incident and the powers that orchestrated it.

Features

With dozens of characters to meet, its mature story, and non-Manichean protagonists, Front Mission is the classic of a tactical Japanese RPG genre, finally available worldwide.

  • ・Front Mission comes back in a remake

  • ・The game features a modern mode with improved controls

  • ・The legendary soundtrack fully orchestrated

In celebration of Front Mission 1st Remake coming out in June, the game will be at a 10% discount from June 30 until July 12. The strategy RPG is priced at $34.99.

The release of Front Mission 1st Remake in current-gen consoles and PC makes it likely that Front Mission 2: Remake, which is planned for release sometime in 2023 on the Switch, could also be released on other platforms in the future.

Animal Well Review - A Wholly Unique Pixel Art Puzzle Masterpiece

It’s easy to describe Animal Well as a puzzle-focused Metroidvania eschewing traditional combat, where nearly every room is a puzzle room, but that falls so far short of describing just what this game is and how expertly it defies genre and classification that it feels like a disservice. Animal Well is a paragon of the art form, a game that simply must be experienced.

Stellar Blade Review - A Challenging Adventure That Doesn’t Stick the Landing

Stellar Blade’s potential was clear, but as its ambitions expanded into something greater, it lost focus. As soon as Stellar Blade tries to bring everything together, it merges into a single figure that looks deformed and uneven. The quality is unquestionable but it wasn’t the final product I was slowly building in my head as I went through the game’s first half.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 Review - Meeting This Epic Adventure Halfway

In the grand scheme of things, Capcom has delivered a sequel to make Dragon’s Dogma fans happy and wishing for more, but this isn’t a massive upgrade. Rather, it’s a modernization of the overall concept as the highs and lows of the first game mirror the sequel. If you can weather the storm that is Dragon’s Dogma 2, you might come out as one of the players who consider this one of the best RPG experiences they’ve ever played, or simply the worst.
