An original first-person, role-playing shooter game that combines the intuitive reward systems of action games and the frantic pace combat of first-person shooters, Borderlands features a groundbreaking content generation system allowing for near-endless variety in weapons and item drops. The game allows for four players to share the same game experience simultaneously online, and players can freely join or leave each other’s games at anytime, or choose to play in the full single player mode. These features, when supplemented with a rich and deep backstory that touches upon the mysteries buried beneath the surface of a danger-filled planet, combine to form a breakthrough experience that challenges the conventions of today’s gamers.
Vivid, surreal, and suspenseful, Borderlands: The Fallen is an intensely thrilling read from an author whose stories “give off the chill of top-grade horror” ( The New York Times Book Review ).
