The First Descendant shares many similarities with Warframe, including its core gameplay loop, fast-paced movement system, and modding system for weapons and characters46. Additionally, both games feature looter shooter mechanics and have a similar structure in terms of general gameplay and systems.

The First Descendant icons have been compared to Destiny 2's, with many appearing to be almost identical, leading to accusations of copying. While there are minor tweaks to the icons, the similarities are hard to ignore, raising questions about potential copyright issues.

The Different Dream gun in The First Descendant resembles the IKELOS series of weapons in Destiny 2, particularly the IKELOS sniper and Sleeper Simulant3. While it's not an exact copy, the similarities suggest it could be a tribute rather than a rip-off. However, the game has also been criticized for having in-game icons that closely resemble those from Destiny 2.
