Front Mission 5: Scars Of War is a video game that was developed and was published by Square Enix Co., Ltd.
The game was launched exclusively on the PlayStation 2 home gaming console from Sony.
The title arrived in late December 2005.
The game can be classed as a mix of strategy and role playing game features that can be played from a third person or from a top down perspective with some elements taken from mech games and from turn based titles.
Front Mission 5: Scars of the War takes place in a dark and war riddled futuristic world where there are 5 dominant powers (the U.S.N., O.C.U., E.C., O.A.C. and the Republic of Zaftra) that continue to try and destroy each other.
The main weapon is the wanzer, which is a mecha with a number of modifications.
The game takes the most well-developed features from the fourth, the third and fourth game in the series and grafts them on the basic skeleton of Front Mission 2.
All the missions are turn based and the player can choose from branching paths through the experience, which makes the game pretty replayable.
There's now a friendly fire feature and new pilots can be brought into the game.
The time period covered goes from 2070 to 2121.
