* ''VideoGame/Warhammer40000RogueTrader'': The ''TabletopGame/RogueTrader'' rule-set brings in a more unique version of this, with your origin, background, and archetype all working together to form a "class." The first two open up unique passives and abilities to chose from as you level up, the latter a more traditional class option, leading into different options for a second archetype when the first is filled up. Surprisingly, being a psyker is a background option instead of an archetype one, so you can mix PsychicPowers into any archetype due to how this system works.

* ''VideoGame/PrimalCarnage'': Both humans and dinosaur characters are based around this style of gameplay, although it differs slightly. There are only five human characters, but all of them have weapons and items that are interchangeable before spawning. There are twelve different selectable dinosaur classes, but their abilities cannot be changed; however, there are five "subclasses" which the twelve species are separated into.
** '''Humans:'''
*** The Commando specializes in high-damage weaponry, with all three of his gun choices being automatic rifles or machine guns with lots of ammo per clip and moderate damage output per bullet, at the cost of poor accuracy. This makes him a better choice against larger dinosaurs with huge health pools, where aiming is less important.
*** The Pathfinder is armed with a shotgun, of which he has three choices. There are minor differences between the shotguns, but they have the same basic pros and cons: [[ShortRangeShotgun tremendous short-range damage, but terrible long-range damage]] and fire-rate. Combined with his flares ([[InterfaceScrew which blind any nearby dinosaurs]]) and machete, this makes him extremely good at protecting the human team from charging dinosaurs, especially small ones, as a single well-aimed blast of the shotgun can obliterate them.
*** The Trapper is armed with dual pistols which have medium damage output and fire-rate, but his main gimmick is being a TrapMaster, with utilities like a NetGun and {{Bear Trap}}s that can instantly incapacitate small dinosaurs for several seconds, allowing for a OneHitKill with his knife. He also has secondary disposable items, such as land mines and electrical pylons, which can weaken larger dinosaurs or kill smaller ones. As can be expected, his forte is dealing with smaller dinosaurs, but he is much less effective against big ones.
*** The Scientist is the sniper class, with three different sniper rifles to pick from (the standard, an armour-piercing, a poison dart one), as well as a compound bow. They differ in minor details, but in general they have great aim, do a large amount of damage, but terrible firing rate and clip size. Along with her tranquilizer pistols, which weakens and slows dinosaurs, and her sensor mines (which mark dinosaurs that walk over them), this makes her good for picking dinosaurs off from a distance, but bad at close up combat.
*** The Pyromaniac, as his name implies, deals primarily with [[FireBreathingWeapon incendiary weapons]], which have a large amount of spread damage. His primary weapons are a "flamesaw" (a flamethrower with a chainsaw attached) and the "flame lobber" (an incendiary grenade launcher and rapid-fire shotgun combo). The first weapon is better against small dinosaurs close up (since the fire damage is only a nuisance to larger dinosaurs and it's a really bad idea to be close enough to use the chainsaw on them too), while the latter is more of an all-round weapon. Both, along with his single-use items, grenades, molotov cocktails, and dynamite, illustrate his purpose of hitting into groups of dinosaurs.
** '''Dinosaurs:'''
*** "Tyrant" class dinosaurs are {{Mighty Glacier}}s with massive health pools, the ability to OneHitKill humans by stomping on them or eating them, and a roar that is able to empower their fellow dinosaurs for short periods. There can only be one or two of them at once.
*** "Bruiser" class dinosaurs are moderately durable, have armoured regions of their bodies, and share the ability to passively bulldoze humans by running into them at high speeds, at the cost of limited agility.
*** "Predator" class dinosaurs are fast, agile, and vicious, with snapping and biting attacks that can be performed while running. They have to ability to perform a "pounce" attack that pins a human to the ground while they're mauled to death, an attack which is a OneHitKill if performed to completion.
*** "Spitter" class dinosaurs are fast, agile, and physically weak, but have the ability to lob toxic projectiles from great distances, which is a highly effective HerdHittingAttack, and can quickly replenish their stamina bar with their roar.
*** "Flyer" class dinosaurs (or technically, pterosaurs) have moderate health and the ability to fly unlimitedly, giving them unmatched speed, possess a peck attack that can be performed in midair, and can mark humans on the map (making them visible to all other dinosaurs for several seconds). However, they are slow and cumbersome on the ground.
