One such conflict is the Bergen coup d'état in 2064. Left unfinished, Atlas became a symbol of failed dreams and hopes as the world regressed back into a world of conflicts. The countries responsible for Atlas began to halt development of the orbital elevator and pursued miniature fusion reactor technology. As the orbital elevator's completion drew near, a breakthrough was achieved in miniature fusion reactors. Realizing the potential in space-based energy, they began development of an orbital elevator known as 'Atlas' in 2024. With natural resources dwindling in supply, the nations of the world eventually banded together to seek a solution to the growing crisis. In the early 21st century, nations around the world fought over the control of natural resources. Set in 2064, the story of Gun Hazard takes place all over the world in an alternate Front Mission universe. The usefulness of parts and weapons increases with prolonged usage the more they are used in missions, the more effective they become. Another feature of Gun Hazard is its usage-based progression system. In Gun Hazard, the player can leave the mech and explore. The player travels to locations on a point-and-click world map. Sometimes I wonder why Uematsu gets all this overwhelming adulation just for composing music for a particularly popular RPG series, but God damn his music rocks.Game progression in Gun Hazard is done in linear manner: watch cut-scene events, complete missions, set up wanzers and vehicles during intermissions, and sortie for the next mission. The soundtrack, provided by a variety of Square talent (but mostly the heroes Nobuo Uematsu and Yasunori Mitsuda) is fucking excellent. Hey, do you want your normal gun or this shotgun? Stuff like that. It isn’t the exhausting overwhelming chore like in the other FM games, though. Just to remind you that yes, you’re playing Front Mission, you’re given a wide assortment of equipment you can use to equip your mech however you see fit. At the start your duty is to protect the President from a coup at the hands of a powerful general, but I’m sure that All Is Not What It Seems, as is usually the case. You walk around in your Wanzer and shoot things. This is why I actually enjoy Gun Hazard.Īpparently the same team who did Cybernator/Assault Suits Valken did this game, and it’s pretty apparent from playing them both. And as a sidescrolling action game, it has nothing to do gameplay-wise (or story-wise, debatably) with the other Front Mission games. Front Mission: Gun Hazard is a sidescrolling action game.
