Set in an alternate 1970s Southeast Asia, Kriegsfront Tactics delivers an immersive turn-based mecha tactics RPG. Players command an advanced Kriegermech unit deep behind enemy lines. Developed by Toge Productions, the creators of Coffee Talk and A Space for the Unbound, this game is their passion project, born from their deep admiration for the Front Mission series.

We featured Kriegsfront Tactics: Prologue last year, praising its attention to detail and faithful representation of the tactical gameplay reminiscent of classic Front Mission titles from the 1990s and early 2000s. As development of the game continues, and featured on a recently concluded Xbox Developers Asia session, its future looks extremely promising.

Kriegsfront Tactics Promises Tactical Freedom and Strategic Depth

The game takes place in Nusanesia, a country torn apart by war. The conflict rages between the United Opposition Coalition (UOC), seeking control, and the newly formed Republic of Nusanesia, fighting for independence and unification. Players assume the role of a special forces commander, leading a Kriegermech unit in a guerrilla war to liberate the nation.

As the commander, players have full control over their squad’s actions—issuing commands to move, attack, and perform special abilities. Unlike traditional turn-based tactics games, Kriegsfront Tactics removes hit chances seen in Front Mission and instead utilizes an Action Point (AP) system to execute precise strategies.

Every bullet fired is fully simulated, allowing players to target specific enemy body parts for devastating effects. Positioning plays a critical role in battle, with flanking and environmental exploitation offering tactical advantages.

Players can use urban structures and jungle terrain for cover, ambushing enemies or defending against incoming fire. However, the battlefield is destructible, meaning enemies can turn the terrain against you just as easily. Whether burning forests or demolishing structures, the environment itself becomes part of the strategic puzzle.

Beyond combat, Kriegsfront Tactics introduces a fully customizable HQ, where players can recruit pilots, upgrade mechs, and adapt their squad to suit their strategy. But victory isn’t just about machines—maintaining the sanity of pilots is crucial, as prolonged warfare takes its toll.

Each mission is a test of endurance, with resources dwindling after each battle. Permadeath adds to the tension, ensuring that every decision carries weight—reckless tactics could cost a valued squad member.

Toshiro Tsuchida, the visionary behind Front Mission, has personally praised Kriegsfront Tactics, expressing excitement for its future after experiencing Prologue. With such endorsement, Kriegsfront Tactics stands as one of the most promising mecha strategy RPGs in development.

Kriegsfront Tactics is currently in development and will be coming soon on PC and consoles!
