Revived mecha RPG classic Front Mission 1st_ Remake comes to PC
Published: November 30, 2025
Reach for the controls of your stompy war machines, folks, because Front Mission's back. The classic series of Japanese-made strategy RPGs focusing on tactical mech action got a remake release on Switch last year, but just this past week has released on PC. The remake of the 1995 Front Mission, by Forever Entertainment, has been pretty positively received by fans of mechs and tough tactics who are finally getting a worldwide release of the series.
The original games were beloved for their goofily-named mechs, the Wanzers. (It's technically a contraction of the in-world German "Wanderpanzers" but really just a very silly word. Say it a few times. Wanzers. Waaaanzers.) Customizing your Wanzers and pilots for the sometimes brutally difficult missions was a highlight, and that's all still here, though there are a few real updates here—like difficulty settings, apparently! h25 Love those.
They're also infamous for their pretty dang serious plotlines where the player was in a real war where neither side was particularly free of sin. To be clear, this is a 1990s mature game, so not nuanced or deep—but definitely a plot for adults. Both of the original's two campaigns are included, letting you see both sides of a border conflict between futuristic mega-alliances gone quite viciously hot.
The remake lets you play in Classic mode, สล็อต featuring the fixed camera angle and soundtrack of the original, or modern mode. Modern mode has a more mobile camera that can zoom in and out, as well as rotate, and a fully reorchestrated soundtrack. To สล็อต my eyes this looks like perfect Steam Deck fodder, and a couple early Steam reviewers have said just that.
What's perhaps most exciting is that Forever Entertainment has the license for, and is for all appearances already working on, a release of Front Mission 2 and 3. That means we'll get a look at all three games, which show conflicts set in the same world as each other but in different places at different times.
You can find Front Mission 1st: Remake on Epic, GOG, and Steam for $35.
Wanzers.

I won a small jackpot yesterday and it was really exciting! The thrill of winning real money keeps me coming back. The website feels fair, and payouts are processed promptly, which makes me trust the platform even more.
The bonuses are nice and offer great value, although they could be a bit more frequent. I love being part of the VIP program, which gives me extra rewards and makes me feel appreciated as a loyal player.
Some games take a while to load on mobile, but once they start, the gameplay is smooth and exciting. I hope future updates improve mobile performance, but I still enjoy playing several hours a day.
