The Endless Frontier is a collection of multiple worlds connected by dimensional portals known as "Cross Gates". In one of these worlds, [[Bounty Hunter]] and [[Handsome Lech|amateur ladies man]] Haken Browning and his [[Artificial Human]] [[Sidekick]] Aschen Brodel explore the ruins of a crashed spaceship, one they were both found in when Haken was just a baby. Inside they find, much to their surprise, a rather [[Gag Boobs|well-stacked]] young woman with a [[BFS|big-ass sword]] and a [[Ms. Fanservice|tiny dress]] sleeping in the crew's quarters. Turns out she's Kaguya Nanbu, [[The Ojou]] of one of the Frontier's worlds. Upon finding out there's a reward for her safe return, the pair decide to accompany her home. Since this is roughly the first ten minutes of the game, things naturally start to snowball from there: strange crystals start sprouting up all over the Endless Frontier, and some very familiar-looking robots connected with a war that happened ten years ago have appeared again. Secrets, conspiracies, [[Fetish Fuel|spankings]], and lots and lots of boob jokes await.

Along the way, our heroes run into a number of travelers from outside the Endless Frontier: Reiji Arisu, a law enforcement agent of Shinra from Earth, his [[Fantastic Foxes|fox-spirit]] partner Xiaomu (you may remember them ([[No Export for You|or not]]) from ''[[Namco X Capcom (Video Game)|Namco X Capcom]]''), and KOS-MOS, a [[Robot Girl]] from [[Xenosaga (Video Game)|the far future]]. Unfortunately, their problems have tagged along, too.

Unfortunately, their problems have tagged along, too.


A sequel called ''Endless Frontier EXCEED'' has been released, with a somewhat wider focus: The Fairies ([[Our Elves Are Better|Elves]]) from Elfetale fled the Frontier during the war and ended up spending the next ten years coexisting with the [[Super Robot Wars Compact 3|Shura]]. When a Shura fortress (coincidentally the one the Fairies are mostly living in) ends up getting tossed into the Frontier, Elven Princess Neige Hausen sets out to find out what is going on. Accompanying her is young Shura warrior Aledy Naash, who has the additional job of tracking down a Shura artifact that decided to step off it's pedestal and take a walk, particularly before their rivals find it first.
