Free-to-play area ninja sim Warframe has all the time had an ‘anything goes’ angle to new content material. While we watch for the Fortuna and Railjack expansions (including a brand new open world planet and capital-class area fight respectively), idle Tenno now have a brand new choice for whiling away the hours. Frame Fighter is a goofy little preventing game assembled from the primary game’s characters and animations. It’s is the debut ‘ROM’ for the Ludoplex, an in-universe games console you could set up in your ship, with extra characters and two extra minigames unlockable.
To be sincere, Frame Fighter is fairly janky. While Warframe’s animations are nicely suited to a 3rd particular person hack n’ slasher, they don’t translate easily to a 1v1 Street Fighter-inspired game. The result’s assaults that really feel like they’ve bought an excessive amount of or not sufficient vary. While there’s no AI to play towards (at the least for now), the few rounds I did play towards randomly matched gamers had been easy and lag-free. While I hope that there are plans to proceed bettering Frame Fighter, I’m simply amused this exists in any respect. Lots of effort has clearly been poured into one thing so foolish.
The different two games are older, and had been initially Easter eggs, hidden in customisation screens or through typing passwords on the login display screen. Happy Zephyr is a Flappy Bird clone that includes the bird-themed body Zephyr, though its massive character mannequin and barely skewed perspective make it tougher to play than it must be. Wyrmius is considerably higher – a fundamental shmup, that includes the Wyrm drone. Both are amusing distractions for a couple of minutes, however nothing to write down dwelling about. I do hope that extra are deliberate – I see lots of untapped potential within the Ludoplex.
In order to seize a Ludoplex for your self, go to Cephalon Simaris aboard one of many Tenno relays. You’ll want 50,000 standing with him to purchase a Ludoplex. The different two games – Wyrmius and Happy Zephyr – price an additional 25,000 every. Once you will have a Ludoplex, you’ll additionally discover additional Frame Fighter characters hidden on missions, with every area holding 2-Three characters. You can discover the default Frame Fighter controls and the place to find extra characters on the Warframe wiki here.
