What to expect ?

[Schtroumpf]

Hi,

I couldn't really find any solid informations about it so I was wondering what to expect with the game. I mean, which genre it is ?

Watching from some videos I could see a kind of beat them all in the gameplay (dodge, attack, combo, dodge, etc).
The game tag himself as ARPG, what means all and nothing(too many games enter easily in this description)
Is this like borderlands in term of skill/items/loot or is it something with a bit more depth in the "build" like an HnS (poe, titan quest, grim dawn) ?
I went on the wiki to try to find a skill tree somewhere, but only saw a bunch of skills (like maybe 20 or 30) that seemed to be bound on, 3 classes ?

I'm more looking for something like HnS in term of build/skill tree/looting.

Thank you

Wayfinder is a third-person action RPG with both melee and ranged combat treated equally. You control multiple distinct characters - the titular Wayfinders - with a small set of unique abilities and can equip them with any class of weapon; you can freely change your character and/or weapon at any time outside of combat, and this character/weapon combination will dictate the immediate pace and feel of your combat cadence. You can explore detailed overworld maps and procedurally generated dungeons.

You have some amount of depth to your build, between your Wayfinder, weapon, accessories, echoes (spirits of defeated enemies you slot like gems into the aforementioned pieces for stat boosts or unique abilities), armor, affinity (character-specific mini talent tree that gives you unique passives and adds weight to your stats depending on equipment and which trees you pick), and talents (archetype-specific talent tree where you progress through nodes to unlock stats and passives).

It must be stated that last month, the game underwent a massive overhaul known as the Echoes update, hard-pivoting the game from a pseudo-MMO like Warframe to the current singleplayer-with-coop format similar to Remnant: From the Ashes or Borderlands. Any old reviews you see are referring to that old MMO version of the game, and much of the internet resources available for this game haven't fully caught up yet. Just be aware of that.

Short answer its similar to warframe. Each character has 4 skills. And a couple of weapons which you grind to upgrade to 5 stars. Same with the wayfinders.

Not even close to warframe... not even the same mechanics... Wayfinder is wayfinder... it's closer to Fable than to Warframe. It's a hack n' slash MMO... you go, you farm... a lot... and get what you want. If it's related to Warframe at some point, yeah, DE helped in the development process.

Thank you for your answers.

That's exceptionally vague. Can you elaborate?

Not like warframe mostly right you left one thing out. This game has a warframe DE "trap" as well.

What are you even talking about?

What's a DE trap? You don't need to buy anything or wait for 3 days.
