Battleborn

[10Tacle]

Good day, good Sirs and Gentleladies

 

Wanted to introduce Battleborn to you (link to the official homepage, link to a dedicated community site).

 

This is how the publisher's describing the game:

 

"As galaxies are dying and the stars start to explode, all species from around the universe come together at the last planet .

Here every culture wants to decide the fate of the universe, will they set their differences aside or will one prevail ?

Battleborn is made by the creators of the Borderlands franchise, Gearbox Software, it's a hero-shooter where players

are part of an intense co-operative campaign, or battle against one another in a competitive multiplayer match."

 

And I would just say that it's a ton of fun to slay through levels with objectives. Be it solo / coop campaign or some multiplayer Versus games, the title

will offer several modes including hardcore (no respawns). Until now not all playable characters are unlocked, the game goes to a closed technical test

on Oct 29 (very strict NDA). I signed up for some fun, it's from the same guys that made the Borderland series, btw.

 

 

Fractions:

 

Battleborn has a wide variety of  characters, these selected group of heroes are called  Battleborn. They are split across five different factions.  They all have their differences but soon these fractions discover that they should put them aside in order to fight the dark foe known as the Valersi. This common enemy is behind the darkening of the stars and our Battleborn must protect the last star,Solus, and save the universe.

 

The factions are as follows:

 

• Eldrid – The nature loving faction that strives to remain at peace
• Jennerit Imperium – The Socialist faction with an elite group of immortals
• Last Light Consortium – War profiteers made up primarily of robots
• Peacekeepers – The sworn protectors of Solus
• Rogue – The faction that isn’t a faction

a heads-up for those interested:

 

the game is playable in a closed technical test (CTT). It's not as 'closed' as it sounds tho. All you need is a shift account (free) and to sign their NDA (strict document). Go here for your key: rsvp.battleborn.com

 

The CTT has just 1 story mode level and 1 PvP level to play, yet it's hilarious fun already
