Pick one that suits your playstyle! It's not required to have a healer (e.g. Players can trade with Platinum or other blueprints/parts/keys, etc.Īlthough there's no 'holy trinity' of classeshere, Warframes can be classified into Damage, Support and Tank. It has a game economy to obtain said gear/warframe parts via trading between players. The in-game currency bought with real money is called Platinum. Which also means, alot of grinding like an MMO. It's got a crafting system where you kill bosses for parts or blueprints to make parts, for constructing new equipment/Warframes like Monster Hunter.Īnd it's Free-To-Play.

Its a loot based system of Mods (they look like Cards) where you can upgrade and customize gear and is almost like a Customizable Card Game (e.g. It's mainly an online co-op game for up to 4 players like Borderlands 2 and Diablo 3. It's a 3rd-person shooter, like Dead Space, Tomb Raider. Warframe is a cross between many of my favorite games: Eventually you'll own more than your first one so that you'll use a different Warframe depending on the mission and your group's composition. Currently there are over 20 different and unique Warframes. Warframes are similar to RPG-classes. They are like an exo-skeleton combat suit each equipped with their own set of unique abilities. Players are in control of a Tenno, an human-like race, and you are in command of a Warframe. Warframe has its own lore and it's intresting enough to form the construct of the world you play in. What is (a) Warframe?Īlthough the tagline, "Ninjas Play Free" may not exactly evoke the most exciting response, you could say that it is about Ninjas in Space. Furthermore, it's Free-2-Play!

Relays are like friendly spaceports for players to gather to commune, trade and visit their supported Syndicate (NPC faction). The only time you may see a large group of players are in the Relays. Unlike a traditional MMO, there isn't a 'holy-trinity' class group makeup required for doing anything. It's a pure co-op game (4-player group in most cases) and has evolved with time with frequent updates, both major and minor to extend its longevity and to cater to a growing fan base. It's almost like an MMO (Massively Multi-Player Online game), but it doesn't have the grand scale where you play with hordes of other players in the same zone. Warframe however, is a different beast altogether. While those games may have had their time in the spotlight, they are games which usually get put aside after the campaign is completed.
