An underrated gem
Long before its recent triumphs, FromSoftware was already honing the art of demanding combat with this medieval-futuristic mecha duel, rich in customisation. Kept in Japan and weighed down by harsh scores, it puts people off with its stiffness and austerity. Those curious about the studio's history and lovers of technical duels will see a fascinating milestone.
Is Frame Gride still worth playing in 2026?
Frame Gride is a mecha fighting game from FromSoftware, a spiritual cousin of the Armored Core series, in which you customize your robot before ground and aerial duels in a medieval-futuristic setting. Its depth of customization and austere mood appeal to fans of the studio, but the heaviness of the fights and the lack of localization hinder access. Today it speaks above all to FromSoftware and mecha enthusiasts eager to explore a forgotten branch of their legacy.
