▍Front Mission 2: Remake Gameplay
Front Mission 2: Remake tells a story that is not easily explained by simple binaries such as justice and evil, through the perspectives of three characters, Ash, Lisa, and Thomas.
The game combines a deeply immersive story and dense strategic gameplay. The story takes place 12 years after the end of the Second Huffman Conflict. The Alordesh Republic, suffering from poverty, was plagued by a serious economic downturn. On June 12, 2102, soldiers of the Alordesh Army led by Ven Mackarge rose up in unison and declared independence from the O.C.U. (Oceania Cooperative Union).
Ash, an O.C.U. soldier manages to survive the ensuing battle, but the Revolutionary Army completely overruns Alordesh. Ash and his surviving teammates try to escape the country by infiltrating its chaotic underground, only to discover a massive conspiracy behind the coup.
New game features include supporting multiple new languages, being the first time that the series is available outside Japan, a Free Camera, new color options and camouflage, updated in-game effects, and renewed soundtrack.
