Front Mission 4 is the fourth installment in Square's mech combat strategy game series. The game follows the story of two characters: Elsa and Darril. Elsa is a Wanzer (that's the special name Front Mission uses for its mechs) pilot based in France who with her battalion is assigned to investigate a surprise attack that occurs at a base in Germany. Darril, meanwhile, is the head of a small force in the U.S.C. army and is stationed in South America. Battles are turn-based. Players strategically move their mechs over battlefields and manage their AP to attack and destroy enemy units ranging from giant mechs to airborne craft.

What's the best thing to do when the world gets crazy? Bust out the robots, of course! The Front Mission series has always been about armed conflicts involving heavily armored robot tanks, and tense, geopolitical drama. Today's subject is no different. Front Mission 4 is the second game in the series to be released Stateside, and hardcore fans will perhaps appreciate that it doesn't offer too much of a departure from its antecedent. The bad part, though, is exactly that -- it's largely the same formula as before, without even much of a graphical overhaul. Granted, there's a lot to love in regards to depth and customization, but given that even recent releases with much more modest profiles have it trumped in those areas, it comes off as a bit of a disappointment.

Square's long-running Front Mission mech strategy series is set to return once again. Front Mission 4 takes place six years after the last game. The year is 2096, and the world is divided into three superpowers, a united Europe (the "E.C."), a pan-American union (the "U.C.S."), and an Asian alliance (the "O.C.U."). The battlefields of this future are dominated by wanzers. Wanzers are mechas, giant robots. Except they're called wanzers. It's the future, so everything gets a fancy name even if it already has a perfectly good one. But hey, wanzers are whatever the future word for awesome is, so we should all be happy. Read More »
