LEFT ALIVE™

I have no idea why the negative reviews... It may not be the most heart pumping of survival games, this was certainly not as tiring as Alien : Isolation despite the similar inventory, but it does what is expected of it. Given that you have played at least the 3 first Front Mission games, this will finally give you the Zaftran side of things in a way that is a nice little change of pace. I also suggest you give Front Mission Evolved a go after this one, since it's a decent conclusion for as long as we dont have either Front Mission 4 or 5 remakes on steam. The story is AWESOME, right up there with Dog Life & Dog Style; the fact that the game was visionary about its conflict in eastern europe only makes it hit deeper. In great Front Mission fashion, you'll find inside drama, romance, hard sci-fi war epic, and even a touch of the supernatural... which is unusual for the series, but not unheard of. Each of the main characters are likable, though I might just have chosen the right answers. And your answers DO matter. (Take that Mass Effect!) The grim and humorous elements are mixed in a very humane way, and manage to keep mostly out of the pyschological trash. (Except one or two witn…

Score: 6.0 / 10 Left Alive is a game I really wanted to like, mainly because it takes place in the same universe as Front Mission, and I’ve always enjoyed that series, especially the tactical entries and the focus on wanzers. I kept an open mind going in, even with the shift to a third-person format, since I did enjoy Front Mission Evolved despite its flaws. Unfortunately, this one didn’t land for me. Visuals & Presentation: The visuals were one of the weaker aspects. Even running in 4K, I thought the game looked fairly dated and unimpressive. Environments lacked detail, and nothing really stood out visually in a way that enhanced the experience. The tone and setting still carry some of that Front Mission identity, but it didn’t feel like it was supported by strong presentation. Characters & Narrative: I didn’t get far enough into the game to fully evaluate the story, but there were some elements that seemed interesting early on. The premise and setting still have potential, and the voice acting was solid enough to suggest there’s something worthwhile in the narrative. That said, the game didn’t do enough in the opening chapter to really pull me in or give me a reason to push th…

bruh

pretty bad

A blend of Metal Gear Solid, Front Mission and Freedom Fighters on paper sounds good but with a poorly written story, dull combat and poor overall execution makes this just a very average experience. Now I did pick this game up for like $3 so I cant complain too much, however just a little more polish, more mech sequences and maybe a couple hours shorter I'd recommend this tittle.
