FRONT MISSION 1st: Remake Reviews
While fans of this strategy RPG “classic” are likely to be excited to see it again, the uninitiated may find it slow
For those who are huge fans of Front Mission titles or turn-based games. Then I think this is most definitely something you should add to your list. However, if you are on the fence then it might be worth waiting for a price drop.
Front Mission 1st: Remake is the long awaited chance for fans to experience the game that established the iconic franchise. At the same time, it will allow a new generation to be introduced to one of the most iconic mecha titles.
Front Mission 1st: Remake seems to mark a possible resurgence for the strategy mech RPG in the West, and while I'd like to have seen a little more done with the concept of a remake here, I still enjoyed my time spent with one of the two campaigns for this review. It's not perfect by any stretch, but it was nice to revisit the original game again.
Front Mission 1st Remake is a good way to experience a tactical RPG classic originally developed by Squaresoft on SNES. Though there are elements that could have been better when it comes to properly conveying information, the rich mecha customization and the bigger focus on combat amidst a straightforward war story are some appealing points for adventuring into the game.

I definitely recommend this to fans of old-style SRPGS, but with the high MSRP and some minor freezes here and there, I do feel it may be best to get it on sale or wait for a bit more patching before giving it a spin.
Unless you're a die-hard fan of the original, it might be best to skip this in favor of a good SRPG.
