What is Frame Gride?

Frame Gride blends FromSoftware's signature action intensity with a fantasy‑styled mech combat system, offering both single‑player campaigns and robust multiplayer modes. Set in a sci‑fi world with historical influences, the game lets players pilot customizable frames in fast‑paced battles. The title was groundbreaking for its time, introducing online multiplayer to console shooters years before similar features appeared in the Armored Core series, and it supports split‑screen play for local competition.
