The only real connection with the rest of the games is that it takes place in the same universe, and a couple of characters make appearances, like Leena, the dispatcher from Target Earth, and Jake, the hero of Cybernator. Still, it’s nowhere nearly as fun as the customization in the Front Mission games.
FRONT MISSION GUN HAZARD SUNSET HILL SERIES
The only other thing Valken 2 has going for it is its customization options, which lets you place each of your mechs in “roles” (short range, long range, etc.) similar to the “job” system from Final Fantasy V / Tactics, which then modifies their stats accordingly. Assault Suits Valken is a side-scrolling shooter game for the SNES developed by NCS in 1993 the American release by Konami was retitled Cybernator.This game is part of the Assault Suit series and a prequel to Target Earth (known as Assault Suit Leynos in Japan).
By the fourth mission, you actually get some other pilots, but the whole experience is remarkably sluggish, even after you enable the shortcuts. In the first few missions, you only control a single character as you wait for all of your allies to move, then your enemies, then wait for some talking heads to yammer some text for awhile, before resuming. In fact, the whole game moves at a snail’s pace. This is cool at first, because the mechas actually do look pretty good for a PS1 game, but it’s remarkably slow compared to other SRPGs, where you just select who you want to attack, and then attack. The only major addition is that you need to enter “cockpit” mode – a first person perspective – to target enemies. Each mecha you control has a set number of AP, which determines how many times they can move and/or attack in a given turn. The general concept – a strategy RPG with mechs – in itself isn’t particular uncommon (just see the dozens upon dozens of Super Robot Wars games), but this one borrows quite a bit, including the 3D graphics, the interface (including the menus in English), and even the basic mechanics – the “counterattack” screen, where you can choose to dodge, defend, or counter is ripped almost straight from it, with just a few added options. Despite the “2” in the title, this game is really nothing like the original Assault Suits Valken, because it’s actually a whole lot like Front Mission 3.
Due to the Front Mission 3D Remake (released in 2022) and the revival of the Front Mission series, I cant host Gun Hazards ROM here.
FRONT MISSION GUN HAZARD SUNSET HILL PATCH
Once you find its ROM, you need to apply the English patch (found further down). If Masaya saw Front Mission: Gun Hazard as a ripoff of Assault Suits Valken, well, this game, developed by TamTam (who did some other inconsequential Japanese games like Eithea) is them repaying Square the favor. Additionally, I need to remind you that Front Mission: Gun Hazard is a Japan-only game.
