From the creators of Borderlands comes a new first-person shooter for every kind of badass.
The universe teeters on the brink of extinction and only the most powerful Battleborn can stop it. This band of badasses will slice swords through enemies, fire massive machine guns, sling powerful spells and much more! Command 25 unique heroes. Fight alone or alongside friends. Play story missions or mow down foes in competitive multiplayer matches.
Rendain and his evil army must not be allowed to destroy the last star. Do you and your friends have what it takes to save it?
Battleborn Features:
Story Mode
Battleborn’s Story Mode is a narrative experience playable in a single-player capacity, as well as cooperatively by up to five friends via splitscreen or online. The Story Mode is modular, allowing players to choose which missions to enjoy next. The modular structure of Story Mode also allows players to replay missions for the chance to earn better loot.
25 Playable Characters
Battleborn has a deep and diverse roster of 25 playable heroes, each with its own personality and equipped with unique weapons and powers. An accelerated character growth system, known as the Helix System, allows players to level up a character from 1 to 10 in a single story mission or competitive multiplayer match
Competitive Multiplayer
Battleborn’s team-based competitive multiplayer action can be experienced by up to 10 players online in 5v5 matches and will include three distinct modes:
Incursion: Teams of heroes defend their base from waves of AI-controlled minions while working together, alongside their own minions, to destroy their opponents’ base;
Devastation: Teams of heroes face off in a fast-paced death match and must capture and hold objectives on the map to win;
Meltdown: Teams of heroes protect their minions as they march to their death at the center of the map. Points are scored for minions who throw themselves into the incinerator, and the team with the most points wins.

Even The Order 1886 holds its price better than Battleborn and that came out a while ago!

You've got to feel for the developers of Battleborn as the game has tanked so badly. Releasing it so close to Overwatch doomed the game from the start.

Well from what i played it simply was not my thing. Games go on too long for my liking and the interface is just overkill. If they made the gun size smaller it could be a whole lot better though but your gun can take up a third of the screen.
All depends how much free time you have to play games. I think theres better to spend your time on. But if you have ample time to waste go for it.

It's a shame in a way as from the reviews that I've read/seen, this game isn't bad at all. However as someone who (stupidly) bought Aliens Colonial Marines, I can't help but think that karma has finally caught up with Gearbox.
Heat for the price mind.
