Front Mission on SNES is where the whole tactical mech madness started—and honestly, it still holds up. You’re thrown into this gritty, political war where giant customizable Wanzers (think walking tanks with serious firepower) duke it out in grid-based battles. The first mission drops you right into the chaos: picking pilots, tweaking loadouts, and realizing too late that maybe putting all your points into melee wasn’t the smartest move.

The translation patch makes it playable in English, though you’ll still catch some rough edges. But the core? Solid. The soundtrack’s got that classic SNES synth punch, and there’s something weirdly satisfying about watching your mech’s arms get blown off mid-fight while your backup unit barely saves the day. If you’re into slow-burn strategy with a side of 90s mecha drama, this one’s a time capsule worth cracking open.
