Front Mission 2089 - Border of Madness — About this game
Storm and his mercenary companions take on operations whose objectives matter as much as the enemy machines. The Japanese DS adventure starts with practical training alongside Rain, then moves between base conversations, mission briefings, wanzer setup and turn-based sorties. Before each operation you can reconsider parts, weapons, repair items and armour coating to suit the opposition. On the battlefield, the durability of each part and different weapon ranges make positioning important, while Link Attacks give compatible nearby units a way to combine their efforts. Missions include investigation and protection as well as destruction, so checking victory and defeat conditions is essential. The lower screen holds the tactical map and commands, with unit data and battle views above. Learning the training controls first prepares you for the larger team and more demanding objectives that follow.
