About Battleborn
Battleborn written impressions
- Polygon – “This game has a hell of a lot going on.”
- Engadget – “Battleborn is a delicious mix of old-school arcade spirit and Gearbox’s beloved Borderlands role-playing games.”
- The Escapist – “The action of the gameplay was fantastic, with enemies rushing in from all sides, and your team of heroes either laughing at their futile attempts, or scrambling desperately to revive fallen comrades while staying alive themselves …the surprising dynamism of combat really truly worked …it just felt fun and interesting.”
- IGN – “In the span of a single 20 minute mission, Battleborn cemented the playful tone of its world, and the fantastic variety of its cast of incredibly different weirdo characters in a really impressive way.”
