Release Date: June 26, 2025
A new version of the popular tactical jRPG, developed by MegaPixel Studio from Poland. Front Mission 3: Remake allows us to participate in turn-based battles using mechs called wanzers. This new version offers refreshed graphics and music, including a dubbing during cut-scenes.
Front Mission 3: Remake is a new version of the 1999 game, created from scratch. The original game was released on PS1 by the Japanese Square Enix. The remake of this tactical jRPG about mech battles was developed by MegaPixel Studio from Poland.
In the remake of Front Mission 3, just like in the original, we are dealing with an RPG gameplay that emphasizes the story and is based on turn-based battles between wanzers. These modified bipedal machines are controlled by us on tiled arenas, and each move costs additional action points. Victory involves immobilizing enemy mechs by damaging their mechanical limbs or disarming them.
The purpose of our struggles, however, is not only to defeat opponents, but also to protect a designated wanzer or to reach a specific location on time. Some machines are piloted by people inside, and they can get injured and be ejected in an emergency. Additionally, there is an option to take over the remaining mechs, and even to continue the ongoing battle without them.
The game maintains a structure of double narration, so depending on the choices made, we follow one of two plot paths. The added quick battle mode allows for shortening the duration of skirmishes, while thanks to the new camouflage options for wanzers, we can achieve a unique appearance on the battlefield.
Front Mission 3: Remake presents a vision of the year 2112 and tells the story of Kazuki Takemura and Ryogo, who after a routine delivery get entangled in an armed conflict. Depending on the choice made at the beginning, we can ally with Alisa or Emma Klamsky to investigate events related to the secret M.I.D.A.S. weapon project. Each of the plot paths addresses the topic of military tensions, corporate involvement in them, and technological threats.
Both the audio and the visuals have been refreshed. The graphics were revamped, adding three-dimensional effects and making the battle animations smoother. The user interface was also modified. Moreover, Front Mission 3: Remake allows to switch between modern and classic settings.
In addition to using musical recomposition, voices were added to the cutscenes, of which there are many in the game.

COGconnected: 80 / 100 by Stephan Adamus
Front Mission 3 Remake is a fantastic strategy JRPG. It has excellent combat, and deep mech customization, led by an engrossing story. It’s easy to get sucked into the conflict of the Front Mission world. And that early choice leading to different narratives truly shocked me. I had no idea! The game does have some visual oddities and too much framerate stutter in its cutscenes, but I would still say Front Mission 3 Remake is a must-play for fans of strategy JRPGs.
Niche Gamer: 9 / 10
Thankfully, we are still getting remasters of their once-known greatness. Front Mission 3: Remake is a fantastic remaster of an all-time classic, and is no exception to that very clear and objectionable fact that Squaresoft no longer exists, and we are left with Square Enix, a mere shadow of its former self.
Worth Playing: 8 / 10 by Chris "Atom" DeAngelus
Visually, Front Mission 3: Remake is a sideways upgrade. You have fully 3D maps and environments and higher-res models than the PS1 version, but the upgrade is rather lackluster. In some cases, I preferred the PS1 design for the Wanzers to the Remake's version. I also found the map a tad harder to read at times, since enemy mech designs would sometimes slightly blend into the background. It looks far better on high-resolution screens than the blurry and pixelated PS1 version, but I think the art design took a hit. The music is quite good, offering both the original soundtrack and a new remastered modern version that did a good job of remixing the music.
