Here’s an early demo that is described by the devs as a “proof-of-concept prototype of the game’s combat mechanics”.

At first glance Kriegsfront may seem like the punchline to a meme that says “We have Front Mission at home”, but there are two key differences between this demo and that venerable series. The first is that some of the weapons here allow for free aiming (a la Valkyria Chronicles) which allows you to target mech parts from the start instead of requiring special upgrades to do so. The second difference is that this game is ‘procedural’, which suggests it might be a roguelike. Whether these changes are good ones is up to personal preference.

You may notice some other cool things going on in the demo, such as destructible buildings and cosmetic damage on the mechs. Not all of the Front Mission games feature those things!

I don’t know when this is being released or how it will turn out… but until we get further info, here’s a quick video of a bunch of mechs hitting and shooting each other. That’s always a crowd pleaser, right?
