Gameplay is divided between field navigation, dialogue sections between characters, and turn-based battles where players can expend action points to perform different moves.[1][2][3]

Endless Frontier Exceed was co-developed by Monolith Soft, a Japanese company known for its work on the Xenosaga series, and Super Robot Wars creators Banpresto. The team from Monolith Soft included veterans from the PlayStation 2 crossover title Namco × Capcom.[4] The scenario was written by director Soichiro Morizumi, using his recurring story theme of "Love".[5] The anime opening was produced by Xebec.[3] The music was handled by a team of composers from Salamander, a music production company which had worked on earlier Super Robot Wars.[6] The theme song "UNCHAIN∞WORLD" was composed by Noriyasu Agematsu of Element Garden, and performed by Nana Mizuki.[7] The game was released on February 25, 2010.[8]
