    KRIEGSFRONT TACTICS: WE TRIED THE PROLOGUE VERSION OF INSPIRED FRONT MISSION-LIKE RPG

    If there is one field where PC gaming is seriously deficient, it's anime mechs. You just can't get enough good games about mecha that hold upscaled infantry weapons in their fully articulated hands and slide around instead of running. Oh, but what luck is for those souls suffering from this particular yearning that Kriegsfront Tactics - Prologue has just given us a preview of the full upcoming game.

    We start off by kissing Front Mission straight on the lips by starting out on Earth, which is inhabited by novel twists on existing nations. The local World War 2 equivalent has ended, and the retreating (Not!Japanese) Empire has left behind all of their Krieger Mechs. As soon as you get over the shock of the Weird Japanese Empire actually having the production capacity to make armor, the Kriegers are taken over by the local Nusanesian (not!Indonesian?) forces in a bid for national sovereignty. This upsets UOC (not!USA) and their own Kriegers are dropped into the jungle to commit war crimes and take care of this problem. You're commanding a squad of those guys!

    STOMPING TOWARDS THE SOUND OF GUNFIRE
    Like I said, it's very, very Front Mission. You control a handful of mecha and take part in turn-based battles where the robots shoot and bludgeon each other to death. The game works on an actual AP system instead of XCOM-ian two-action, and once a mecha ends the turn, you get 4 AP to react (read: shoot back) to enemy shenanigans.
