Drifting Lands (2017)

This is the strongest fit if you want a shooter to behave like an action RPG. Choose a ship class, gather equipment and combine active and passive abilities into a build, then take it through increasingly demanding missions. Randomly generated sorties and a long difficulty ladder make farming and optimisation central, rather than a distraction from a tightly authored route. Choose it for the pleasure of developing a capable ship over time; Astebreed is a better fit here when you want a concentrated narrative journey.
