GameInformer writes: "If unfamiliar with the new iteration, Front Mission Evolved unfolds in the year 2171, with the lines dividing nations having been redrawn after years of war. Now aiming high-as in outer space-the global superpowers are racing to build elevators skyward. Their hope is to turn space into a dumping ground for satellite networks and military stations. War back on Earth has slowly settled into small skirmishes, with Wanzers (massive humanoid war machines) remaining the vehicles of choice. The question is, will war follow humanity into space? Front Mission Evolved lets you control Wanzers and pilots alike from a third-person perspective-shooting elements obviously aplenty. Overall, Evolved is more of a high-action shooter, whereas the previous iterations were on par with turn-based tactical titles. But don't fret, RPG elements such as Wanzer customization are sticking around."

Its sad that games like this exemplify JP devs inability to make games for HD consoles.
Many Western devs for that matter.
Meh, they always wanted to appeal the western audience. I just want my turn-base front mission back...
