Minimum specs
Minimum on the Steam store: 8 GB of memory, GeForce GTX 630 / Radeon HD 6570, 7 GB of storage. Windows only.
The value story
28 discounts in the 2 years on record, a median of 50 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today's $10.49 at 70 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 95 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. BATTLETECH ($39.99, scores 64) and Phantom Brigade ($29.99, scores 59) both outscore it.

What players say
Its harder than the first Front Mission since you only get money and potential gear from arenas this time. Its definitely an overcorrection in terms of making ammo finite and healing items need a dedicated backpack to carry.

This game's demo is what got me into thinking of buying the series and as far as how much I hate Front Mission 1 Remake (FM1 R), I don't nearly have the same negative experience with Front Mission 2 Remake (FM2 R). Unlike FM1 R, FM2 R actually runs well, have decently snappy controls and serviceable but needs room for improvement UI. I'll preface this by stating: critiquing retro games is hard cause you got to think...
So far, Front Mission 2 is the BEST of the remakes. Also probably the best at emulating the gritty and hard sci-fi tone of the manga (Front Mission : Dog Life & Dog Style). So if you came in from there, this is the one for you. Gameplaywise, FM2 has everything FM1st had to offer, but much better. For one, the team limits on map are not preventing you from playing the whole party that often, which makes for epic...
