Front Mission: Gun Hazard
Gun Hazard is a side-scrolling shooter with strong RPG elements and a spin-off of the Front Mission series. The gameplay is more than similar to Cybernator or Metal Warriors. The player moves between different sections on an area map. Once in a stage, the player controls Albert and his Wanzer, which moves left and right across the screen. The Wanzer can jump and attack with a primary and a special weapon. During a section, Albert can get out of his heavily armed Wanzer at any time and go on an exploration tour. Although he is vulnerable in the open, Albert can reach areas that the Wanzer cannot. He is also a smaller target and can use an unlimited jetpack. You earn money and experience by completing mission objectives and killing enemy Wanzers. Albert can also recruit other characters during the course of the story, some of whom can play a supporting role. These support characters can give Albert a variety of different cover fire abilities during his missions. They also gain experience and levels. Various weapons and armor can be found or purchased. Important components include the Booster ability, which allows the Wanzer to hover and increase its jumps, and the Dash ability, which allows the Wanzer to make quick left-right movements.
