Kriegsfront Tactics is a title I’ve been following for a long time, clearly inspired by Front Mission. Giant mechs, skilled pilots, and tactical combat on grid-based maps. The recent news is that the game, developed by Toge Productions, was initially planned as a PC-exclusive release but will now also be available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
For now, there’s no official release date, but a prologue is available to try out on PC via Steam. Additionally, you can check out our preview for more details. Below, you’ll find an overview and the console release trailer.
