Honest Review/Bug With Mobile UI

I have always wanted to Warframe but could never play due to not having a computer, I have acquired a Nintendo switch so now I can play Warframe and make progress on my switch and on my iOS device. I appreciate the fact that now they have made it available to play on mobile which I appreciate very highly, the only problem I’m seeming to have is the control scheme or control UI it is really difficult to play as I am a player that uses five fingers so essentially I’m a claw player and it is difficult to play claw so now I have resorted to playing with 2 to 3 fingers and it is proving very challenging to play and enjoy the game I hope that you guys can fix this issue really soon please as I enjoy the game and I see myself playing for a long time with my phone and my switch, the switch is great to play on but it lags from time to time I enjoy playing on my phone for the matchmaking against other opponents but it is hard to play with the UI. A lot of players have complained about the same issue I’m having with the game I hope you guys can see all the reviews with the issues of the mobile touch UI us their are many other tenno who aren’t fortunate enough to play on console or PC to enjoy the full aspects of this masterpiece that is a game thank you for your time and patience and I hope you fix this issue soon as it poses to be a problem with a lot of tenno like myself.

Just as I remembered.

Okay, so I hopped back into Warframe after like, two years, and seriously, it's just as awesome as I remember, maybe even better. The biggest thing for me is that it's actually free-to-play. Like, for real. You don't have to shell out cash to play and the premium currency in this game you can get through trading for free, which is super refreshing. You can earn pretty much everything just by playing, and that's how it should be. The game movement mechanics, it's still so good! Zipping around, wall-running, bullet-jumping, sliding into enemies... it just feels so smooth and satisfying. Plus, there's just so much to do. Quests, different worlds to explore, tons of Warframes (basically, super cool suits alien suits with different abilities) and weapons to collect and level up. You could seriously sink hundreds of hours into this game and still find new stuff to mess with. It's wild. My only tiny gripe is that I wish I could've just logged in with my old Xbox account instead of starting fresh with my iCloud. But honestly, it's a minor thing. The game's so fun that even grinding through the early stuff again has been a blast. If you're looking for a game that's truly free, plays like a dream, good grind, amazing lore, and has enough content to keep you busy for hours, you gotta check out Warframe. Seriously, dive in, you won't regret it 🤷

Great Game! But the grinding is tedious….

I gotta say, before I say any of this in order not to mislead you! Because this game is AMAZING!!! Trust me person, you will fall in love! But, now on to one of the only bad things! Grinding is sometimes absolutely horrible! The developers are, I gotta say! DEVIOUS for this sin of grinding, I can’t lie… but this is only sometimes so I do recommend playing! (Just in case the devs see this, the annoying parts (-for me) are Necromech grinding and overall prime grinding and that is literally it! Of course I’m not a end-game veteran so there might be more, but so far this is it! Also a recommendation if you ever want to change this, is that you can make it so you could maybe, do fairly hard missions (as these are sought-for primes after all!) in order from the rare, valuable and strongest primes having the hardest missions and the opposite standing having the easier missions. You could make the necromech better by just by making grinding it by getting the mission directly from that mining guy at deimos, (if that’s how you spell it…) and when you do it, you get a certain amount of tokens for it and you buy the *straight* material (meaning when you get that said, “material” you don’t have to craft it into something else you use those materials bought straight from that miner guy to build the necromech) from that miner guy (I forget the name of…)! Thank you for reading, Enjoy the game! (Or making it if ur the dev!)

As perfect of a port as an advanced game like Warframe can be ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I play with a ps5 controller and on an M4 IPad Pro, with these specs It feels and plays better and smoother than a ps4 or Xbox, the only visible difference from current gen is that the frame cap is at 60fps and that the lighting effects and fidelity are ever so slightly scaled down. This is the most advanced mobile game on the App Store and it is not even close. There are no concessions, from start of the game to high level endurance runs that some consoles struggle to run, it can be played and enjoyed from start to finish on the latest IPad. Load times lightening quick and barely give you time to steer your ship around lol. I used to play on PC and the only, and I mean only thing I miss is mouse and keyboard support and 120fps. Feels crazy that I am even asking for this ON A MOBILE GAME, that’s how high they have raised the bar, most other reviews their issues are problems that deal with it being a tiny screen and not using a controller. When you have a larger screen and a controller they are non issues. An issue with the platform itself, not the game. It is an outstanding port that should be studied by other developers. Warframe is what the future of Mobile gaming looks like!!! I’d give it 6/5 stars if I could

I love this game!

As we are entering the questbook, we find a quest called “lotus’s lost memory” we enter the quest and find out that the lotus is having a large headache from the void. So we fly in and find a new ship, but this one was different it was from the first generation of the humans, and it was called the “damaged battery”it was a large warframe-like ship that was in pieces but each peace was attached by the vulnerable core. As we enter, we go to the first mission to kill the enemy and find out that the faction of the enemy is called “Tenno” so it was like a ton of Tenno operators but they don’t even own a warframe but they have the void power. So as we are trying to fight them off them we head into a spy mission and find out they formed the void, they are lost, and they can’t think straight as if someone took control of them. The next mission is an assassination mission where you have to kill Prime Excalibur, Prime Volt, and Prime mag. And after you done all of that you stop the corrupted Tenno from making a huge empire. The lotus sees it as a new home and makes a base there, just like the Fortuna, Cetus, necralisk, and the chrysalith. But it will be called lotus’s throne. (I had a dream tonight of this but if you don’t wanna add it due to lure reasons I get it.)

Overall the game is 4 stars mobile 3

The game overall is very good. Grindy but that’s half the fun. With several hundred weapons and over 50 unique frames as well there’s a play style for everyon. There’s so much content and the developers drop more every day. There’s so much content there’s no way you can do everything in 1 day which really helps add diversity to the gameplay instead of it being like most shooters or MMO’s where you do a few dailies then log out. My only complaint is the ui on the mobile version. They make changes to it a lot and have removed several mechanics that I personally enjoyed such as a melee mode. It allowed for a quick switch between guns to melee allowing for fast level clears for certain missions like capture missions for relics. They change up the ui a lot which is a little frustrating because once you get used to the ui they make some changes. It would be nice if they had a fully customizable control system like call of duty mobile has, allowing you to remove or add buttons of your choice. Without a controller this game can be a little difficult to play with touch screen and a fully customizable touch control would greatly fix this issue. Also the railjack is difficult to control on mobile it feels like the controls are delayed and sensitivity feels off.

Tough controls, great port!

The controls are really difficult on mobile. There are some maps I cannot even get to extraction because I cannot interact with the bars as I am flying past when I am outside and continuously fall to my death. Even with as difficult as it is to control on mobile, I sincerely give this game 5 stars. For how in-depth and immersive the content and play style of Warframe is, I cannot imagine a scenario where you can have mobile (touch screen only) controls be on the same playing field as a console controller (let alone PC). A touch screen is essentially one button, they of course split it into multiple different buttons, but I digress. Warframe is an awesome game with insane content for being one of the best F2P games I have ever played. What really blows me away in this port is that my account and progress transfer between different devices. There are stages I am not even going to attempt on mobile, but other farming stages are perfectly fine on mobile. The more challenging stages I save for when I have time to sit down on my console. Regardless, great work! I love the game, and I oo

Favorite game I’ve ever played

So about 4 or 5 years ago, my Nintendo Switch broke and my Warframe days were over in an instant. Hours gone instantly. Never spent a penny on the game. I had some pretty good progress on it but I think it’s over trying to get it back. Then a few months ago, that’s when I heard that Warframe was coming out to IOS and now I have it on my phone. But I tried downloading the full game on a WiFi network and it instantly “downloaded” the game or so I thought. After I disconnected from the network, I didn’t immediately play the game until a few hours later and tried to load up a mission but it was taking too long so I thought I would just restart the app by closing the game but when I opened the game, it said that I didn’t download the full game. I saw the download go by faster than my safari browser lets me load websites on my iPhone. Now that I have the entire game, it just crashes. No matter what I try to do. I try restarting my phone multiple times, won’t do a single thing btw. And it’s severely causing my gameplay to get items at all. I try to do a single mission and in the middle of the mission, it’ll just crash and I will have lost my progress. Now this game needs help. I mean it. If this game keeps crashing, I’ll stop playing. This game is cooked.
