These games, while not exactly made withWarframe’s formula in mind (because there’s not many like it) are still similar in their own way. All of them are available in the comfort of Android phones or iOS devices. Some of them are even free, much likeWarframe.In any case,Warframeplayers will do well to check out these games on the mobile platform.
10Honkai Impact 3rd
Honkai Impact 3rdis an anime sci-fi game that, by now, lives under the shadow of its newer and more popular brother,Genshin Impact. Its gameplay is somewhat similar toWarframewhere players pick their own character and finish instanced missions.
The game’s main attraction is its action-packed combat not unlikeWarframe.Honkai Impact 3rd’s own brand of energetic gameplay combined withover-the-top actionand a complex anime sci-fi plot ought to be right up anyWarframefan’s alley.
9Star Warfare2:Payback
As the title implies,Star Warfare2:Paybackis a sequel. The first game wasAlien Invasionbut it’s seriously dated right now. Regardless,Warframeplayerswill find plenty to like inStar Warfare2:Payback. The usual gameplay loop of the mobile arcade game consists of boss runs and a single-player campaign.

There’s also a fully-fledged PvP available with intense game modes and plenty of variety to keep matches interesting. The third-person perspective is just an added bonus at this point and should make it more familiar or easier to control.
8Shadowgun Legends
Shadowgun Legendsis more similartoDestiny 2than toWarframebut those two titles get compared too frequently anyway and also share the same genre.Shadowgun Legendsis going strong in its third year of operation with plenty of guns, skins, and action to keep players occupied.
It’s also a PvE looter shooter with a campaign whose typical purpose is to serve as a prolonged tutorial. Because much of the action can be found in the multiplayer or co-op scene along with customization that will put most other looter shooters to shame.
7Warhammer 40,000: Freeblade
InWarhammer 40,000: Freebladeplayers can forget about toiling on the ground as a mere Space Marine or measly infantry unit.Freebladeis all about controlling those venerable and hulking Imperial Knights. Thus, it’s a turn-based mech game.

Don’t be put off by the slower action though,Freebladecan and will get nerve-wracking at times especially when it comes to high-level fights. Customization is also on-point and it’s always a joy to outfit or paint one’s Imperial Knight as they would a real-lifeWarhammer 40Kfigure.
6Xenowerk Tactics
Speaking of chaotic ground firefights in an alien-infested battleground,Xenowerk Tacticswon’t lag behind. It also borrows the premise of aWarhammer 40Kgame where an elite squad of soldiers changes their job description to exterminators.
They must then battle their way through a landscape crawling with hungry and deadly grotesque aliens. It’s up to the players to figure out how their team can manage alive out of the sticky situation. As for how it’s comparabletoWarframe, anyone who enjoyed fighting the Infested will surely find plenty to like inXenowerk Tactics.
5War Robots
For anyone looking for something faster and real-time compared toFreeblade, thenWar Robotsmight scratch that itch. It’s also a mech game but the difference is that it has flowing real-time combat. It’s still not as frenetic or agileasWarframebut that’s expected.

The mechs inWar Robotsare as tall as buildings and are armed with enough firepower to take down whole armies. The main mode of gameplay inWar Robots,however, is competitive and revolves around classic multiplayer battles. Still, players get to pick and deck out their favorite mechs much like they dowith warframes.
4NOVA Legacy
Back in its heyday, one could swear thatNOVA Legacywas an action game exclusive to consoles or the PC. Its graphics were way ahead of its time and the sci-fi setting and story only served to bolster this advantage.
It takes inspiration from certified eye candies invideo gaming such asCrysiscombined with the gameplay loop ofCall of Dutygames. Thanks to the space opera atmosphere and dehumanized character designs (thanks helmets!) it doesn’t stray off too far from the standard looter shooter experience.
3CyberSphere: Online Action
CyberSpherehas changed its sub-title many times over the years and depending on the platform but it remains to this dayan explosive third-personsci-fi military shooter. That’s quite a mouthful and there are lots to enjoy in the game though some might consider the graphics outdated already.

That in itself might not be too big of a drawback since that only means it’s more available to older phones. In any case,CyberSpherefeatures both single-player and multiplayer battles reminiscent of the Clone Wars fromStar Warsexcept in third-person glory.
2Infinity Ops: Cyberpunk FPS
While on the topic of futuristic military shooters,Infinity Opsquite possibly gave bothNOVA LegacyandCyberSpherea run for their money. One look at the graphics and it’s easy to see why. It’s like a sci-fi versionofCall of DutyMobile.
It also plays like that multiplayer FPS but the character designs and weapon customizations and dynamics are still comparable to sci-fi looter shooters.Infinity Opshas since changed its sub-title on the Android toCyberpunk FPSto keep up with the gaming landscape.
1Punishing: Gray Raven
Finally, one of the latest games to be released that incorporates some looter shooter philosophy isPunishing: Gray Raven. It’s also a sci-fi anime game with outlandish characters and an overly intricate plot. One might even mistake it forHonkai Impact 3rd.
That shouldn’t be an issue. More of the similar thing means there’s more fun to be had. InPunishing: Gray Raven’s case, there’s actually less commitment required and it lets its players have a life outside of the game.
Warframewas released on June 12, 2025, and is available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
