The 8 Best Loot Shooters – For PC, PS4, PS5, Switch and Xbox

You are on page 4 of the MeinMMO list of the best loot shooters. Here you can go to page 1.

Roboquest (Early Access)

Release: 08/20/2020 (Early Access) | Platform: Steam (PC) – Announced for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S | Developer: RyseUp Studios | Model: Buy2Play

What makes the game special? Roboquest is the only early access game on this list, but for good reason. Roboquest is not only an excellent loot shooter, but also one of the best roguelites on the market.

With permadeath mechanics, varied weapons, and optional co-op, the game already offers a lot of replay value in early access.

The game pace is immensely fast in Roboquest – with some practice and experience, much faster action is possible than even in the trailer:

Pro
  • Very fast gameplay with great movement
  • Roguelite mechanics provide a lot of variety and replay value
  • Many weapons with very distinct differences
  • Excellent electronic soundtrack
  • Very suitable for solo players
Contra
  • Still in early access
  • Roguelite mechanics are a matter of taste

Who should take a closer look at the game? Even though Roboquest is still in early access, the game already plays smoothly. The enormous potential still in the loot shooter is also clearly recognizable.

A great soundtrack, multiple classes, and varied weapons motivate you to start a new run and try new things repeatedly.

The fast movement here encourages you to keep moving and jump from one enemy to the next. Higher rewards for fast level completion also awaken the ambition to discover the inner speedrunner.

PC players can also play the game in the Game Pass:

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands

Release: 03/25/2022 | Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S | Publisher: Gearbox Software | Model: Buy2Play

What makes the game special? Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is a “magical” spin-off of the Borderlands games. Thus, it is again a loot shooter filled with insane humor and co-op, but this time it takes place in a fantasy world – among other things with unicorns that vomit rainbows.

There are again 4 characters with several build options thanks to subclasses, as well as once again a seemingly infinite number of weapons – including quirky bread guns. This magical-manic chaos of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands was well received by us in the editorial office.

Here you can see the game in action:

Pro
  • Seemingly endless number of weapons
  • Many strong build options
  • Absurd humor in an interesting setting
Contra
  • Story and humor are a matter of taste
  • Gameplay barely differs from Borderlands 3
  • Replay value depends on whether you want to try multiple classes

Who should take a closer look at the game? Anyone who liked the Borderlands games will also have a lot of fun with Tiny Tina. The shooter is set in a new setting, but it doesn’t fundamentally reinvent the wheel outside of that.

It is therefore suitable for both solo players and a group in co-op with up to 4 players. Especially players who enjoy the feeling of absolute overwhelming power will find joy in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands.

Early on, you get weapons that do absolutely crazy things and make things explode in all kinds of colors. Together with the classes, which all can feel OP in their own way, there is a lot of joy. Nevertheless, the game knows how to challenge in endgame and demands good strategies and strong shooter skills there.

Warframe

Release: 03/25/2013 | Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S | Genre: Loot shooter | Developer: Digital Extremes | Model: Free2Play

What makes the game so special? Warframe was released in 2013 and has been regularly expanded and improved ever since. The game allows you to shoot or slice through hordes of enemies as a space ninja with breathtaking speed and acrobatics.

The Warframes you control function like classes in other games. A lot of variety is offered: One Warframe can become invisible, another unleashes electric chaos, and a “bard Warframe” even composes its own music as a combat mechanic.

Pro
  • Great movement
  • Huge selection of weapons, Warframes, and pets
  • Regular content updates since 2013
  • Exciting and original story and setting
Contra
  • Much grinding is needed to make progress
  • Very complex for newcomers
  • New gear needs to be crafted, it is not looted directly

Who should take a closer look at the game? If you are looking for a loot shooter with depth and a lot of content, Warframe is just right for you.

The game is also famous for its large, open, and helpful community. Even though the game can be daunting with its complex menus, the free-to-play shooter rewards you with exciting mechanics and a great story.
