Fans of Front Mission have been waiting for lord knows how long now for a new “true” game in the franchise, and instead of delivering that, the last two Front Mission titles that Square Enix has delivered have been a derivative action shooter that was forgotten nearly as soon as it was released, and Left Alive a stealth/survival game where you’re not even piloting wanzers for the most part.īut I think I understand where Left Alive fits into this property. Front Mission started out as a tactics RPG property, in which players would command giant mechs – wanzers – in a strategic, turn-based combat.

It’s often a mess to play, but, equally, it’s a far smarter game than most will give it credit for.įor those who haven’t been following along, Left Alive is set in the Front Mission universe, and I think that’s part of the problem.

That’s quite possibly the most controversial thing that I’ve ever written, given the wave of blind hatred that the game has been attracting since it launched last week.
