Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 14, 2026)

Build experiments with dropped gear and perks keep fans of Lootborne playing, but cheating and economy issues weigh on it; it scores 62.4.

👍 Strengths

70 reviews enjoy it enough to recommend it despite criticisms. 33 enjoy the build depth of combining dropped gear and perks, and 18 credit developers for banning cheaters actively at launch. Others approve of account restrictions meant to prevent economic abuse, and some say bots are being caught. Tech & Support ranks 694th of 1399, and Multiplayer ranks 492nd of 642.

👎 Where it falls short

Pricing & Fairness appears in 63% of analyzed reviews and ranks 1206th of 1399. 32 reviews report cheating, the most upvoted saying speed hacks bypass the anti-cheat, and 26 describe an unpunished exploit that opened an unfair progression gap. 23 report lost saves, the most upvoted after changing computers with no cloud sync. Others are frustrated that the marketplace launched a week late, and some call resource grinding tedious. Content Volume ranks 1200th of 1351, and Gameplay ranks 1090th of 1396.
