Front Mission 3: Remake

Front Mission 3 is a tactical role-playing game in Square's long-running mech combat series, re-released for modern platforms as Front Mission 3: Remake by MegaPixel Studio and Forever Entertainment. Set in October 2112, it follows Japanese wanzer test pilots Kazuki Takemura and Ryogo Kusama through a cold war between the Oceania Cooperative Union, the United States of the New Continent, and the nations of Southeast Asia. Featuring the series' signature Double Feature Scenario, players can experience two independent storylines hinging on a single early decision. Gameplay centers on turn-based battles between customizable mechs called wanzers, with deep part customization, AP-driven combat, cooperative Links, and pilot ejection and hijacking mechanics. The secret super-weapon MIDAS and the clandestine 'Imaginary Numbers' genetic-engineering program drive its political-thriller narrative.

Key Systems

  • Double Feature Scenario - The game contains two complete, parallel storylines. A single early choice directs players into the Emma (USN) scenario or the Alisa (DHZ) scenario, each with distinct missions, allies, and story outcomes that are effectively full games on their own.
  • Wanzer Customization - Pilots operate mechs called wanzers built from interchangeable body, arm, leg, and backpack parts spanning many manufacturers and weight classes. Parts can be remodeled to improve defense coating, weapon accuracy, jumping power, and ground rollers.
  • AP & Links Combat - Grid-based tactical battles run on Action Points (AP) that govern movement and attacks. Link skills allow up to three allied units to combine their fire in a single turn, creating powerful cooperative strikes.
  • Skill Learning from Parts - Pilots learn battle skills by using wanzer parts in combat, then program the learned skills into the machine's battle computer using a limited number of slots, with stored skills transferable between wanzers.
  • Pilot Combat & Hijacking - Pilots can be damaged, force-ejected, or abandoned on foot during battle; units can eject, fight outside their machines, and even hijack surviving enemy wanzers on the battlefield.
  • Network & Battle Simulator - A full pseudo-Internet lets players browse websites, exchange e-mail, and download files, while a VR Battle Simulator offers repeatable training drills to raise pilot proficiency.

Reception

Legacy
A milestone of the Front Mission series, praised for its two-scenario story, deep wanzer customization, and novel pilot-combat mechanics. The 2025-2026 Remake by MegaPixel Studio brought the classic to modern platforms, though its use of generative-AI art drew criticism from fans and reviewers.
