Letting players get close to the action from their favorite strategy games often seems like an idea with a lot of potential. That potential can be met with vary💧ing results (see: Command %26amp; Conquer Renegade)🌊, but Front Mission Evolved %26ndash; being a third-person shooter as opposed to a turn-based strategy game %26ndash; has the added advantage of being about freakin%26rsquo; huge robots, and those are always a hit with gamers, right?
While the game is in the same universe as its predecessors, you%26rsquo;re not required to know anything about the Front Mission series in order to understand what%26rsquo;s going on. I✅n fact, the story probably won%26rsquo;t be the main draw unless y🅘ou%26rsquo;re a die-hard fan of Japanese mech narratives. The plot serves its purpose of getting a bunch of Wanzers, the giant mechs of the series, to duke it out, but it%26rsquo;s probably not something that will stick with you.
T꧙hroughout most of the game you%26rsquo;ll be piloting your own personal Wanzer, which you can customize from mission to mission. There are plenty of customization options %26ndash; from parts to weapons to colors and emblems %26ndash; to create a Wanzer to fit your playing style. However, if you don%26rsquo;t want to waste time adding parts and worrying about weight versus power output on your mech, you can opt to play with one of the preset Wanzers that the game provides, which is a handy option for action gamers who only want to jump into the action and blow things up.
Unfortunately, the only things they%26rsquo;ll be blowing up are tanks, helicopters and opposing Wanzers. For being a game about giant robots, the environment is disappointingly non-destructible. You can step on a few trees and crush a few columns, but that%26rsquo;s practically 👍it. There%26rsquo;s hardly anything that explodes really nicely, and as such you sometimes don%26rsquo;t feel like you%26r✨squo;re really piloting a towering death machine.
