They're headed to PAX East with a playable demo come the end of march:


Like revisiting an old friend:

Looks like a copy of Front Mission... Which is not bad as we need more FM. Why is this in the JRPG forum instead of the Tactical Gaming one? For not to mention Phantom Brigade is in the RPG one.
This has no annoying teenagers nor weird hairdos so it's not a JRPG.

where everything released ... from an asian developer can be discussed

Debated on where to post it and settled on here to save Infinitron the trouble of having to move it to JRPG.

Edit:

I don't make the policies.

Turns out this thing is years away from being complete I thought they were further along; talking 2025/2026 at the earliest according to 6:30 in the youtube video below.

Looks pretty cool actually. Probably the closest thing to Front Mission games we can get nowadays are indie projects like this.

Looks pretty cool actually. Probably the closest thing to Front Mission games we can get nowadays are indie projects like this.

Front Mission 1's remake got released a few months ago, Front Mission 2's comes out in June and they're working on a 3 remake simultaneously. Only one that is really "neccesary" is the 2 remake as the original only has a very partial english patch.
However there is little hype and the 1st remake didn't sell particularly well, most likely will put the series back into hibernation.

 

[Parsimonious cook]

Shiiiiiiiit niggaz, this looks p. gud. Together with Phantom Brigade this is another interesting mech strategy as of late.

I forgot to include *new* in my sentence. I'm aware of the remakes but don't really care for them (other than 2) cause I already played the originals. Unfortunately the only non-remake Front Mission thing Square is doing is a dogshit mobile game, so only hope is for indies like this and PB.

Gotch. The mobile game isn't even Front Mission anymore - Square and the developer aren't working together on it anymore, so they had to quickly file the serial numbers off and make it an entirely separate IP. Now is called Mecharashi.

 

[PapaPetro]

Glad to see interest in this strategy mecha genre.
Armored Core is coming back and hopefully maybe anther Gundam Girhen's Greed Game.

Didn't know that. I wonder why they did that. Did Square actually worry that it might damage the brand because they had other plans for it or something?

 

[Modron]

Demo is live on the steam store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1561740/Kriegsfront_Tactics/ < PAX demo page doesn't seem to have everything on it or I missed it there.

 

[Lord of Riva]

Looks interesting, i'll put it on the wishlist, the Denglish is very cringeworthy though.

 

[PapaPetro]

Denglish

Learned something new.

 

[Parsimonious cook]

Played the demo - shit was so cash. The game is relatively simple but fun, I sure hope there will be some pilot/mech management part to go along with the tactical combat. In any case this is well worth watching.

 

[lightbane]

Gave it a quick spin. Looked good enough that I deleted it so that I'm not left wanting for more, as the final game won't release anytime soon. The graphics though are intentionally low-res PS1 shit, and they could be done better even if they end up looking simple. I don't get that PS1 retro-mania (at least the most annoying visual effects can be turned off in this game).

 

[GentlemanCthulhu]

Voice acting in "Bahasa Indonesia". Yeah no thank you.

tl;dr the demo has been updated with more game

Kriegsfront Tactics Demo Update - Destructible Environments

Salute, Pilots

August is a special month in Southeast Asia as Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia celebrate their National/Independence Day this month.

To celebrate the occasion, we’ve updated our demo with new features.

Destructible Environment
Your attacks will affect the environment as now trees and buildings be destroyed. Are enemies hiding in the jungle or behind buildings? You can bombard the jungle and remove their cover.

Pilot Skill Activations
Pilots will have latent skills that can activate during battle. This is still a work in progress but you can see some of it implemented, such as Shield Up and Evasion skills.

Also, we will be attending Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, next week. Visit us at Indie Arena Booth on Koelnmesse, Hall 10.2, booth F010g - E019g. Some of our Toge crews will be there, so please come by and say hi.
