Warframe

[Kenpachi Zaraki]

This is what I've been up to lately.

Basically you're a space ninja ('Tenno' in game) in a robotic suit. You go around the different planets and planetoids in our solar system fighting various races that want you dead for your sweet technology. In the process you acquire resources and credits that you can then use to build suits and weapons as well as mods that can be added to increase damage, shields, etc. Each suit (the titular Warframe) has different stats and abilities and the weapons range from katanas and bows to rocket launchers and giant lasers.

It's multiplayer (though you can solo if you choose the option before starting a mission) and players are grouped into squads via a matchmaking system. There's also a clan system and clans can build a Dojo (of course) where weapons can be researched, trades can occur and friendly duels can be had. There's a spot on every planet for PvP as well, if you're into that.

The game is free to play, though you can choose to give them money for the premium currency of Platinum (they start you with some too). Everything in game save for cosmetic things like color packs and alternate helmets is obtainable with enough time and credits, but there's the option to get things faster/easier if so desired. It's pretty cheap to get platinum if you want it; 1 platinum is roughly 7 cents but the more you buy the more gets bundled in, etc.

You can play it on PC and PS4 (and XBOX I think?). It's pretty fun and gets better as you get different warframes and weapons. The missions don't feel boring or repetitive as some games do and the creators are constantly adding content and random 'Alert' missions that give out rarer weapon blueprints and mods.

Anyway it's a fun little game. Free to pick up and play, you never have to drop a dime. In fact, I recommend not paying anything. It's way more satisfying to earn things with time and effort. If you play PC, look me up. My handle is 'Smarm'.

EDIT: There's more info on the site (there's more to it than I could think of) and videos on Youtube if you want to see gameplay)
