- Classic Case: A plastic box that contains a double-sided cover of the game, as well as the game cartridge itself
- Numbered Certificate: A card that has a unique number that “gives the set an additional collector value”. This is random and does not match the game's serial number.
- A 16-page guidebook that contains information about the game, from game mechanics to the story, as well as information about the characters.
Originally, the game was going to come out back in June. However, Forever Entertainment, the company working on this release, announced that they would be delaying the release of the game. They mentioned in an official statement that they wanted “sufficient time to add as many functionalities as possible while proceeding with proper implementation and tests” so that they would meet the expectations of a modern-day remake.
Front Mission 2 Remake Gameplay
This game, like its prequel, is a tactical role-playing game. Players take turns with the AI opponent in moving and attacking the playing field. The player has an objective they have to accomplish, which can range from destroying all enemy units to defending an ally. As with other tactical role-playing games, if all of the player's units are destroyed, then it is game over.
The game brings various new features to the series. For example, the game introduces Action Points or AP. Moving and attacking uses up AP. Whenever a full round ends, a unit recovers a certain amount of AP. As such, players will have to manage a unit's AP, making sure that they do not run out at the wrong time. The game also introduces an Honor system, which encourages players to keep their units together. It does this by giving units various buffs like Accuracy or increased AP recovery when near friendlies. In the same way, it discourages lone wolf units by giving them decreased Evasion or AP recovery when they are surrounded by enemies.
The player also receives Honor points whenever they defeat an enemy. When a unit earns enough Honor points, they can learn various abilities, like the Link skill. Links allow multiple units to link up and provide support to each other.
The game also introduces an expanded Arena feature, which lets players battle against AI or other players to earn money. Players can also partake in team matches, where they field multiple wanzers in one battle.
Front Mission 2 Remake Story
