About the Game

Battleborn is a multiplayer-centered first-person shooter with comic graphics. During the campaign, the players need to stabilize the Battleborn alliance to defend the galaxy against the evil Varelsi. On eight maps (plus tutorial), the players need to complete the mission goals which can be divided into three types: raid (go to a location and kill enemies), defend (surviving enemy waves) and escort. Running out of energy vaporizes a team life and when all are gone, the mission has to started from the beginning.

Gameplay & Core Systems

Capture is a domination variant where players have to capture and hold specific points on the map for victory points. In meltdown, players need to defend AI-controlled minions which move to an incinerator at the middle of the map. Those are guarded by an energy field which makes them invulnerable to regular weapons - unless they are attacked by the AI controlled minions. Additionally the players can collect currency which is used to either buy/upgrade towers (attack, defense or healing) or activate items which reward statistics bonuses. More powerful AI minions can be acquired by destroying their camps on the map edges.
