Squaresoft’s 1996 Super Famicom game Front Mission: Gun Hazard is no different, moving far away from the SRPG stylings of series-starter Front Mission and stomping over to the mech-action territory so expertly wielded by Masaya’s team almost four years earlier in Assault Suits Valken. Personally I can’t help but applaud the unpredictable creativity these well-meaning but slightly wonky sequels wield so freely: They come in so early they’re not weighed down by any long-held fan expectations or a pressing need to stick to an established and successful formula, and you can’t help but feel the developers thought any good idea – no matter how far away it was from whatever worked so well before – had got to at least be worth a try. At the very least you sometimes need to see with your own eyes what doesn’t work just so you can truly appreciate what does (AKA: “What it feels like to play Resident Evil 0“). Whether you think these games should have… well, that’s another matter. Final Fantasy did it, and people still go on about hitting themselves in the face to this very day. Fire Emblem did it – and got a remake out of it. Zelda did it, even if Nintendo try to pretend they didn’t. It’s not all that unusual for those important first sequels in an older series to go off in strange and unexpected directions, unceremoniously dumping previously unshakeable core rules while simultaneously shifting their focus towards something else entirely without even considering what such a huge change would feel like to those who enjoyed the original outing: Castlevania did it and it was indeed a horrible night to have a curse. The better stuff starts back up next time.Looking for something in particular? Search for: Click here to be taken to a random article!

Except instead of mines, the helicopter drops kamikaze Wanzers on you. This level is very similar to the forced scrolling one in Borukta. So, I guess we weren't really needed after all, eh guys?Īll right, Albert! This path'll take you straight to Janga. He had found shelter in the village of Janga. I just received word from the Prime Minister. Let's start with a thourough search of the surrounding highlands. ![]() I screwed up here and missed the level name. That is the power of having 120% vs 0%, but the new Wanzer will catch up in time. Note that even though this should be an upgrade, it's actually LOWERING Clark's HP. We'll have to move fast to stay ahead of our enemies. Destroying this camp alone won't be enough to stop them. What bothers me is that this camp looks like part of an organized war effort. Well, and the several thousand dollars, the Kevlar vest, the entire Wanzer for Clark that I found in a small box, and a bunch of other crap I didn't mention such as a first aid kit and a shotgun. Looks like some kind of infrared detection device. I'm going to go ahead and never use this. Why would you leave 1000 dollars just lying around like that? See if we can't get any information out of them. The General's agenda seems to be a private one. What'd Tangany stand to gain from wrecking the summit? Looks like the guys we tangled with earlier.Īnd they said they were working for Balming? ![]() Probably just a coincidence.Įxactly how many times were you dropped on your head as a child, Albert?Ī camp. Notice that beating that other level unlocks a path moving forward from THIS one. Meanwhile an unlimited supply of those flying spotters are spawning. He shoots bullets which, themselves, split into three more bullets. If you step in it, a set of crosshairs appear much like Brenda's and you get bombed. These little flying things project a laser downwards. Here's the first side area we'll be covering today. I did so with the help of Tuxedo Ted playing as Clark, though I think setting things up so I could actually host through my router took longer than getting the cash. Alright, so a few days ago I did some grinding in order to get the Bazooka 3.
