Warframe

So I finally got some time to post some new posts now. So I will start by giving my first impression of "Warframe" a new free to play, third-person shooter that is focused on co-op. This game got fantastic graphics probably among the best I have seen in the free to play genre.

You are a "tenno" they are old warriors of the blades and guns and they are once again needed to fight in a war against grineer and corpus etc. You can choose if you want to play private, solo or online. You start at the planet mercury where you can pick different stations and where the enemies are. When you have cleared the tree that is in mercury you can enter different planets from the milky way. There are different game modes in the different stations, one mode is exterminate where you are supposed to kill the entire enemy force and another is defence where you are supposed to defend something from a couple of enemy waves and there are some other modes.
But first you get to pick your tenno, the soldier you want to play. Depending on what you pick you get different abilites. I wanted to slash my enemies up so I choose excalibur. When you kill enemies with different weapons the weapons level up and in a talent tree you choose to upgrade your weapon on different aspects as reloading speed and fire rate etc. Your tenno suit also levels up and it also got a talent tree. You also earn credits from playing with them you can buy new weapons, blueprints for warframes (the suit you are wearing, you can find weapon blueprints on the map) with the different blueprints you can craft items with materials you find on the different planets and you also use the credits to install the upgrade mods for your weapons.

This game is very funny to play both alone and with someone. There is so much you can do and I think that just because they choose to focus on co-op instead of PVP made this game alot more fun. It's so much more fun to play alongside with someone than against someone in my opinion. Sure it's fun to play against people too but co-op with friends is hard to beat but I hope they will have some sort of arena mode later on. This game is really early in the closed beta so it's not yet optimized but it would be really cool if you they had some sort of war mode where you can play as the enemy races against the tenno warriors.

But this game is amazing and if you dont have any game to play right now or if you do, pick up a key. The website shows news where you can see if you can pick up a key somewhere. For all you old school gamers, the excalibur tenno is so similar to Gray Fox from the first metal gear solid and the way you cut enemies in this game looks like metal gear rising. So it's quite nostalgic to play this free to play game since it reminds me somewhat of the fight between snake and Gray Fox.
