Front Mission 5

Fine history to this hard hitting mech series right from the Super Famicom days and the fifth installment sees it reach a real epoch with a superbly realised 3D world. As you'd expect with Square the attention to detail is immense and moody, sometimes grim lighting effects add to the destructive, apocolyptic atmosphere. Liberal use of the flamethrower soon brightens things up, but Genki loves the feel of the chunky gattling gun ripping through mecha metal.
