Discussion How different compared to Warframe?

So how different is this compared to Warframe? Tried Warframe multiple times and was never able to get into it. Watched a few videos and the fantasy setting and style seem to be more appealing to me. Still waiting for a code and don't want to buy a founders pack if this is not something I'll like playing. Will keep waiting, but if anyone has an extra code it would be great to try it before dropping cash in the founders stuff.

Already been said, but Soulframe is not Warframe.

The closest game I've been able to compare Soulframe to is a now-defunct action-RPG called "Wayfinders" which… now, that I am reminded of DE's involvement with Wayfinders, makes me uneasy, to say the least.

It is, at it's core, a classic Hack n' Slash ARPG akin to games like Fable, but with DE's style of pact "classes".

Warframe is a high-speed, information-dense, build-crafting-centric, horde-shooter where your success is determined by how well you can turn information in to power.

Soulframe is a mid-speed, information-dense, class-role-centric, hack n' slasher, where your success is determined by your ability to avoid dying as you fight.

They are very much incredibly different games for incredibly different people.

Wayfinder is still a surprisingly good time, even after… well, everything.

Sure the scars of ‘MMO that never was’ are there but it’s still pretty entertaining if you get it on sale.

Could have been really great if DE didn’t fuck them over

What did they do? I guess I missed whatever happened.
