Publisher believes mech franchise can make it big in Europe and the US.
A confident Square Enix reckons its mech fighting series Front Mission can find a wider audience in the West.
Traditionally, the 15-year-old Japanese franchise has been targeted at just core gamers. But Square believes the newest title, Evolved, will break another of its IPs into the US and Europe.
TDS' lone Asian writer talks about an entry in the mech strategy series that never left Japanese shores.

GNT: Welcome to Cracking the Case, a new feature that I am introducing on Game N Train. Each week, I will try out a new game and give you my first impressions on what this game does right and what this game does wrong.
Today, I’m Cracking the Case on Front Mission: Evolved, by Square Enix.
Its sad that games like this exemplify JP devs inability to make games for HD consoles.
Many Western devs for that matter.
no thanks..
i miss my strategy rpg game.. square can go piss off
There was this game on the 360 before I returned that crapbox to the store and got my fatty...whatsitcalled...Chrome Hounds! I liked that game a lot. With all its faults it was a tactical mech game without retarded asian-style rocket trajectories and had a pace that befitted metal behemoths of hundreds of tonnes. It was great. And to the sony fanbois who disagrees simply because I like a 360 game...I shit on you.
As long as its good I don't care what genre its in. Unless its an FPS. I hate those.
