This, in my view, is a plus - the ridiculous customizability of your wanzers in the normal FM series has you constantly going back to stores to see if anything new pops up, and when it does, you spend half an hour outfitting your machines with the stuff. It sports nearly a full hundred battle maps, ally units to take into battle, RPG-style experience and levels, and lots of equipment with which to customize your wanzer, although not nearly so much as in a mainstream Front Mission. Gun Hazard has, to its credit, a much longer, deeper, and more developed story than Valken. As such, it's no surprise that the games play so similarly. Although there is a sequel to Leynos for Saturn (and I've heard that it's very good), when it came time to make a Valken sequel they made a strategy game :( A remake of ASV is in the works for PS2, or so I hear!Īnyway, a bunch of the people who worked on Valken are credited to Gun Hazard's staff as well. Front Mission - Gun Hazard, is a mecha sidescroller, and spiritual successor to the Assault Suits series (of which you may recognize Assault Suits Valken/Cybernator and Assault Suits Leynos/Target Earth.
