Front Mission 1#

After creating a new game, you will be asked to personalize your name and call sign. Then you will enter a battle field.

The game is centralized on battle with robots (called wanzers in this game) on a stage. Then use the prize money to upgrade units in a city and fight next one. Sometimes the default move target after a battle is another battlefield, you should always check your destination before confirming, at least saving your progress first before next battle (sometimes you get to recruit pilots or enter secret mission by going back).

Each stage has a victory condition and a defeat condition. Most of the time, the defeat condition is losing the main character, but sometimes it could be failing to protect a certain NPC or out of time. If you lost in a stage it would be game over. If you saved earlier, you can load that save.

Each pilot has a wanzer. Although you can customize wanzers any way you want, it is best to build a wanzer to its pilot’s strength. For example, if the pilot has Double or Switch skills, then put Melee or Short weapons in both hands. If the pilot is good at Long, equip some long range weapons. You want good defensive parts on a tank, but you want offensive parts on your attackers.

Use arrow keys to select options or move target. Use A to confirm and B to cancel. Use L and R to switch pilots. See Input for more information.

When a unit is selected, the top of the screen will display information about the Unit. For example, the following two lines

Royd in Shrike Ex - LV 26 HP 107

FI 9 ST 24 LG 14 AG 23 Ge 40%

would mean the pilot Royd is riding on the wanzer named Shrike. Royd is lv 26, the wanzer has 107 total HP between parts (less total HP does not necessary mean it is in danger, if the body is intact). The wanzer has fight, shooting and long ranged weapons of rating 9,24 and 14 respectively. The wanzer has an agility rating of 23. The tile Royd is on has a cover rating of 40%.

Keep an eye on ammunition too. You can use the equipment view command to check out current ammunition status and the supply command to reload ammunition and change weapons (but not parts) when you are next to a supply truck.

When destroying an enemy or step on a certain tile sometimes you will find a part or a weapon. Don’t let NPC or enemy get it first.

Being an RPG, probably the most intriguing part is the growth of the pilots. After gaining certain exps a pilot will level up and sometimes gain skills. It is tricky to choose skills best fit a pilot, however.
