These are our 5 Honorable Mentions:

  • Afterblast – another roguelite shooter where you must dodge the impactful attacks from countless enemies. However, the build diversity is rather low, so an important point for us to rate it as “interesting for Destiny players” cannot be fulfilled.
  • Luna Abyss – a story-driven game with FPS combat and jump’n’run elements, whose scenery strongly resembles Destiny. Morally difficult to recommend, as the entire development team was laid off shortly after release.
  • Gunfire Reborn – one of the best roguelite shooters of all time. Shines with a good selection of weapons and build diversity, but stylistically could alienate many Destiny fans, which is why we have recommended other games.
  • Marathon – Bungie’s latest game is currently the best opportunity to experience the famous Bungie gunplay besides Destiny 2. However, neither the art style nor the extraction gameplay are particularly popular among the majority of the Destiny community, who are reluctant to support the shooter anyway.
  • Returnal – a fantastic roguelite shooter (3rd-person) on a mysterious planet, which is an optical masterpiece due to bioluminescent enemies. Definitely a recommendation, but overall it strays too far from Destiny to be a real alternative. Therefore, Abyssus as a 1st-person shooter with the mentioned build diversity might be the better choice for many Destiny fans.

Is one of the games from our list appealing to you or is there rather nothing for you? What defines Destiny for you? Let us know in the comments!

If none of these games appeal to you, try a different approach. In the Destiny community, it is often read that many also play action RPGs like Diablo 4 or Path of Exile besides Destiny. If you want to explore something in that genre, take a look at this list: Games like Diablo – The best alternatives to Diablo 4

  1. Roguelites sind Spiele, die sich von dem 1980er-Dungeon-Crawler „Rogue“ ableiten. Dort müsst ihr einen Dungeon erkunden und Schätze finden. Alle Roguelites haben eine Gemeinsamkeit: Wenn ihr sterbt, endet euer Durchlauf – der Tod ist ein fester und gewollter Bestandteil dieser Spiele. ↩︎
