YMMV / Front Mission: Gun Hazard

Go To

  • Annoying Video Game Helper: You'll most likely be saying "Stop Helping Me!" to Luven al-Habi if you spend too much time around him in Gun Hazard simply because his time bombs will cause indiscriminate damage to both you and the enemy. It's also an actual command to order your computer-controlled partner to retreat.
    • Thing is, he got to stay around you for a while because you'll be needing him for a certain mission, so he needs the EXP! Good Luck!
  • Memetic Mutation: YTMND latching on to the "Secret Nazi Forest" made of paths on the Cenktrich map in Gun Hazard.
  • Scrappy Weapon: There are a few weapons that aren't worth using.
    • The Main Weapon that you start out with, The VG (Vulcan Gun), is downright terrible compared to the Gatling Gun from Target Earth and the Vulcan from Cybernator. This is because the weapon is held back by a very backwards mechanic that has the weapon "reload one shot per second" instead of "reloading the entire clip when it becomes empty" which forces the player to be patient and conservative and wait for several seconds to replenish the ammo counter to a decent number. Contrast this to the SG (Shot Gun) which has the standard mechanic of "reloading the entire clip when it becomes empty" and it will become your Main Weapon for the rest of the game thanks to its undoubtable versatility, encouraging you to replace the VG as soon as possible with it.
    • The LG (Laser Gun) feels like a downgrade compared to it's counterpart from Cybernator: It projects a hitbox that inflicts continuous damage to any enemies in contact with the beam but it depletes the ammunition counter quickly and has poor damage output.
  • Spiritual Successor: Gun Hazard takes all of the things that were learned from Target Earth, Assault Suits Valken, and Metal Warriors and improves upon them with many tweaks and additions to make what can be considered a great classic for the Super Nintendo.
  • Viewer Gender Confusion: Emil. People who have played the game for the first time will most likely assume that character is a girl on their first meeting... then they read a bit into the detailed canon and find out that Emil is actually a boy.
