Prologue

Front Mission 5 stories begin with Walter and 2 of his best friends while they are still child. This 3 promised to gathered on city park on some day, while they are met at park for some reason many wanzer and any other milllitary unit appear on the city and began to attacking each other in those city. Commotion happened all around the town, and not so long after that a wanzer approaching this 3 child while still battling with other unit. Then some incident happened to Walter and of his friend. Walter stories later begin some years after those incident happened...

Gameplay

On my personal opinion I think this is the most not easy version of Front Mission, considered there are limitation attack accuracy of arms, limited point for upgrading wanzer, etc. This where front mission 5 became really strategy game! We must considered many factor before attacking or countering enemies. Because I think there are no ultimate wanzer in this version though, but there something really-really new. Like bazooka or gattling gun weapon, character free recruitment system, arena mode (when you collect bounty that later for upgrading wanzer), survival mode (where we can find a new wanzer part), etc. But the most aspect I like is it's story, it's just reminds me about front mission 3 games. Where we travel from one place to another and progressing mission with some cool scene, like parachuting from plane or using boat to infiltrate enemy base. But the language this game I played actually a japan language so I'm not clear enough to understand about this version stories.
