About
Borderlands blends frantic first-person shooter combat with RPG progression and four-player co-op. With its huge arsenal of weapons and action-driven pacing, it delivers a distinctive “Role Playing Shooter (RPS)” experience that pushes against modern shooter conventions.
You play a mercenary on Pandora, a lawless and desolate planet, searching for a legendary cache of alien technology known as The Vault. Play solo or drop in and out online with up to four players. The game is known for its “Bazillions of Guns,” its radical art style combining traditional rendering with hand-drawn textures, and intense vehicular combat.
Storyline
In Borderlands, you play a mercenary on the lawless planet Pandora, chasing rumors of a legendary alien treasure known as the Vault. Your hunt drags you into a chaotic frontier filled with bandits, rival treasure hunters, and escalating firefights as you uncover the truth behind the Vault’s promise.
