Originally released for the Super NES in 1995, Front Mission wowed dedicated
strategizers with its engrossing turn-based mech campaigns, extensive
customization options and serpentine tales of global conflict. At long last,
Square-Enix is extensively remaking this classic for the North American
audience!
Discover the origins of the Front Mission series in this explosive handheld saga
that was never before localized for North America. Reborn exclusively on the
Nintendo DS, Front Mission introduces exciting new features, such as dual screen
presentation and multiplayer modes, that update the classic that spawned seven
popular sequels. Using Touch Screen functionality, you command a squad of
customizable mechs known as Wanzers and direct them through the turn-based
battlefields of the 21st century.
Story
The Front Mission saga focuses on the conflict over Huffman Island, located in
the neutral zone between two superpowers known as the Oceania Community Union (O.C.U.)
and the Unified Continental States (U.C.S.).
Tensions between the O.C.U. and the U.C.S. spark the First Huffman Conflict in
2070, a two-year war ending with a ceasefire agreement that divides the island
into two territories. After many years of relative peace, the sudden destruction
of a U.C.S. military factory triggers the Second Huffman Conflict in 2090.
Experience the war from the perspective of Royd Clive, the leader of the O.C.U.
mercenary outfit Canyon Crows, or Kevin Greenfield, the commanding officer of
the U.C.S. Special Forces squad Black Hounds. Battle through missions against
Wanzers, tanks, attack helicopters and giant mobile weapon platforms, and
unravel the true motives behind the war over Huffman Island.
