If you’ve spent hours bullet-jumping through enemy hordes and slicing with energy katanas inWarframe, you know the thrill is second to none. Between the lightning-fast combat, insane abilities and that slick sci-fi vibe, Warframe knows how to keep your adrenaline pumping. But what if you’re craving something new? Maybe you’ve conquered every mission, maxed out your favorite Warframe, and still want that same adrenaline rush. Don’t worry — we’ve got you covered.
10 Games To Play If You Love Marvel Rivals
Seeking more action after investing so many hours into Marvel Rivals? Well, here are some games truly worthy of any hero.
Whether it’s the fast-paced combat, the smooth movement, or the futuristic world-building that hooked you, there are plenty of other games out there. From team-based shooters to sprawling space adventures and everything in between, these titles deliver that Warframe-like energy in their own unique ways.
10Spacelords
Battle with Alien Factions
Spacelords takes you to a far-off planet called the Broken Planet, where you battle it out with rival factions over a precious energy source. But here’s the kicker: you’re not just fighting NPCs — you’re often squaring off against other players too.
Most missions put you in a four-player squad (Raiders) trying to complete story-driven objectives. But there’s always a wildcard — another player who can join as the Antagonist, their sole purpose being to sabotage your mission. Like Warframe, Spacelords throws you into a futuristic world dripping with style. The Broken Planet’s gritty aesthetic, alien landscapes and quirky characters are a visual treat.
9Destiny 2
Embark on Raids and Strikes to Protect Humanity’s Last Safe Haven
InDestiny 2, you take up the role of a Guardian and your mission is to protect humanity’s last safe haven, the Last City, from alien forces and ancient cosmic threats. You’ll take on hordes of enemies across vibrant worlds like Earth, Europa, and beyond.
You’ll engage in missions, strikes, raids, and other activities to earn powerful weapons and armor. While Warframe’s acrobatic, fast-paced combat offers chaos, Destiny 2’s deliberate pacing makes every headshot and super ability feel meaningful.
8Outriders
Sci-fi Looter-Shooter Where Offense is the Best Defense
The year is… let’s just say it’s the future, and Earth is toast. Humanity’s only hope is colonizing the planet Enoch. But Enoch isn’t the paradise they hoped for. Shortly after arriving, settlers are hit by a mysterious energy storm, which wrecks their tech, mutates the environment, and unleashes all sorts of nightmares. Lucky for you, the storm also grants powers to you, an elite soldier known as an Outrider.
Review: Outriders
Outriders is an exciting evolution of the third-person shooter genre, with thrilling sci-fi powers and satisfying gunplay.
In this third-person shooter, you are always on the offensive because killing enemies restores your health. Outriders is perfect for those who crave chunky, tactical gunplay and love the thrill of chasing loot without getting lost in a sea of side systems.
7Borderlands 3
Unbridled Chaos in a Wild Galaxy
Borderlands 3
Borderlands 3throws you into a wild galaxy filled with sarcastic robots, exploding psychos, and guns that literally grow legs and chase enemies. It’s a chaotic, hilarious looter-shooter that keeps you on your toes with its sheer absurdity and over-the-top action.
10 Games To Play If You Love Borderlands
Co-op chaos, looter shooters or wasteland warfare: we’ve got it all!
If you’re all about big explosions, crazy stories, and enough loot to drown in, this is your jam. Borderlands 3 and Warframe live and breathe loot. Warframe, you’re farming parts to build flashy frames or powerful weapons. In Borderlands 3, it’s all about snagging that next legendary gun with wild abilities. The thrill of “just one more run” is alive in both titles.
6Helldivers 2
Bring Freedom and Democracy to an Alien-Infested Planet
Helldivers 2
Helldivers 2puts you in the boots of an elite military unit tasked with defending “Super Earth” from alien threats. You will find yourself battling melee-swarming Terminids and the laser-slinging, robotic Automatons. You’re not just spamming bullets; you’re setting up defenses, managing resources, and constantly keeping one eye on your teammates so you don’t get overwhelmed.
In Helldivers 2, survival often depends on moving constantly. Staying still invites overwhelming alien attacks, echoing Warframe’s emphasis on mobility and parkour to outmaneuver enemies. Whether dodging bugs in Helldivers or wall-running through Corpus ships in Warframe, movement is essential to both games’ shooting mechanics.
5Aliens: Fireteam Elite
Take on Waves of Relentless Xenomorphs
Aliens: Fireteam Elite
Aliens: Fireteam Elitethrows you into a xenomorph apocalypse with squad-based action. You and your friends become badass Colonial Marines fighting swarms of aliens in tense, cinematic missions. Customizable classes, weapons, and perks let you fine-tune your playstyle.
Warframe is like Fireteam’s hyperactive sibling. Instead of grounded tactics, you’re a space ninja zipping around massive worlds with acrobatics and an arsenal of high-tech weapons. It’s fast, fluid, and focuses on insane mobility and style. Both games thrive on co-op play, unique builds, and futuristic settings, but their vibes differ a bit. Fireteam is tactical and tense, while Warframe is flashy and chaotic.
4Deep Rock Galactic
Mine Rare Minerals in Alien-Filled Caves
Deep Rock Galactic
In this wild, co-op sci-fi shooter, you’re not just any space explorer — you’re a battle-hardened space dwarf. Yes, you read that right: you are a little person with beards as mighty as your guns, ready to plunder the riches of dangerous planets. You play as part of a team working forDeep Rock Galactic, a mining corporation that sends its employees (aka you) on dangerous missions deep into the caves of the planet Hoxxes IV.
This planet is hostile with a capital H — full of alien creatures, treacherous terrain, and dynamic challenges that’ll keep you and your crew on your toes. Your job is to mine rare minerals, retrieve lost equipment, and exterminate alien threats. But most importantly, you have to make it back to the drop pod alive before everything caves in.
3Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II
Battle for Survival in a Relentless Galactic War Against Tyranids
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine IIpits you against hordes of a ravenous alien species. Just like Warframe, Space Marine II thrives on grandiose sci-fi settings that emphasize humanity’s struggle for survival against relentless alien threats.
Review: Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2
Dig in deep against the Tyranid infestation. For the Emperor!
Both games merge close-quarters melee combat with ranged shooting to keep battles dynamic and intense. In Space Marine II, you wield iconic Warhammer weapons like chainswords and bolters. The transition between shooting and melee is also seamless, allowing for tactical variety.
2Halo Infinite
One Spartan Against an Entire Army of Aliens
Halo Infinite
Just like Warframe,Halo Infiniteexcels at creating an immersive sci-fi universe where humanity is on the brink, and you’re the only solution. In Halo Infinite, you will find yourself in Zeta Halo—a giant, broken ringworld full of Banished alien threats.
Both Halo Infinite and Warframe lay emphasis on why just shoot aliens when you can slice them to ribbons, too? While melee is less flashy in Halo Infinite than Warframe, it’s just as effective. Whether you’re smacking a Grunt in the face with your rifle butt or slashing enemies with the Energy Sword, melee attacks feel satisfying, especially when you close the gap with the Grappleshot.
1Apex Legends
Be the Last Person Standing in the Frontier
Apex Legends
Apex Legendsand Warframe both send you into futuristic battlefields filled with high-octane gunplay, gravity-defying movement, and sci-fi lore. In Apex Legends, the world is built around the Titanfall universe. It’s a gritty, war-torn setting where advanced tech, intergalactic mega-corporations and futuristic battle arenas collide.
I also particularly love the fluid, fast-paced movement of Apex Legends. Sprinting, sliding downhill to gain momentum, wall-climbing and ziplining create a flow that feels effortless. Combine that with abilities like Pathfinder’s grapple or Octane’s jump pad, and you’ve got movement that feels like it’s straight out of a sci-fi action movie. Every gunfight becomes a dance of dodges, flanks and adrenaline-filled chases.
