Frame Gride

About

Frame Gride throws you into the cockpit of customizable mechs for fast-paced combat. Developed by FromSoftware in 1999, it mixes shooter and fighting elements with strategy as you build and upgrade your machines. Single-player campaigns and split-screen battles offer straightforward action, while the inclusion of online multiplayer made it a standout for its time on the Dreamcast. What really sets Frame Gride apart is its early adoption of console-based online play, a rarity before Armored Core brought it to the genre. Though its graphics and mechanics feel dated by modern standards, it remains a niche title with a dedicated following. Local multiplayer and the ability to tweak mechs keep matches fresh, though the overall package may appeal more to retro fans and FromSoftware enthusiasts.
