Play Front Mission 2089 - Border of Madness (Japan) Online
You scramble your Wanzers across the battlefield, tweaking loadouts between fights—too much armor slows you down, but that sniper shot will wreck you otherwise. The grid-based firefights feel like chess with missile barrages and backstabbing politics.

Front Mission 2089: Border of Madness is a 2008 Nintendo DS release from Square Enix, a tactical RPG that arrived late in the handheld's life. It's a port of a mobile game, and it shows in the structure; you move through missions on a grid, fighting in turn-based skirmishes with customizable mechs called Wanzers.
You control a squad of these machines, managing their weapons, armor, and internals before each battle. The main objective is usually to defeat all enemy units or seize a specific point on the map. Key mechanics include destroying individual Wanzer parts to disable opponents and a morale system that affects unit performance. The pacing is deliberate, with difficulty that demands careful positioning and loadout choices. It feels like solving a violent, mechanical puzzle with every move.
