Lock, load, and face the madness


Borderlands is an original First Person Roleplaying Shooter that combines the intuitive reward systems of action roleplaying games and the frantic-speed shooting combat.  Players can choose from one of four distinct characters and earn experience and gain proficiency in a number of specialties as they do battle with enemies.  Upgrades can be invested in a wide variety of special abilities, allowing players to create a fully customized character that is tailored to their playing style.  These features along with a rich and deep fiction that touches upon the mysteries buried beneath the surface of a danger-filled planet, combine to form a breathrough experience that challenges the conventions of modern shooters.
