Developed by Square, Front Mission Series: Gun Hazard arrived on the Super Nintendo in 1996 as a shoot 'em up. It blends shoot 'em up and RPG elements.

It landed about 5 years into the SNES's life. Other notable SNES releases from 1996 include Super Mario RPG, FIFA 97 and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. Among the 53 SNES shoot 'em ups in our database, it ranks #10 by legacy score.

It is part of the Front Mission series; on the SNES you can also try Front Mission. The series also appears on other systems with Front Mission 3 (PS1) and Front Mission 2 (PS1). Square also made Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy VI for the SNES.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

Pick it if…

  • you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)

Maybe skip it if…

  • you dislike high difficulty and screens full of bullets
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Front Mission Series: Gun Hazard is like

Shoot 'em ups (shmups) put you in a ship facing waves of enemies and bullets. Runs are short and intense, and the goal is to survive, collect power-ups and push your high score.

Tip for newcomers: Focus on your ship's small hitbox rather than the flood of bullets, and learn which power-ups suit each stage. Most shmups are designed to be replayed many times.
