Frame Gride is a mech-based one-on-one fighting game played from a behind, over-the-shoulder view. It also contains missions and RPG elements that link the fights together. Attacks are based on both weapons and hack-and-slash swordplay. The mech can also strafe, jump and fly for a short while.
The rebellion of Margrave Zort, which began with the death of Emperor Regilio, engulfed an entire empire into a war. Five armor giants have already been defeated by the rebel army. A young man is given a knight's title and entrusted with hope as he must defeat the rebel army by piloting the armor giant "Frame Gride", using ancient powers passed down through time.
