    This game was a massive disappointment.

    The premise was good, Moba arena fights for competitive play and a campaign mode to give lore and structure to the game without needing a bunch of out-of-game sources like Overwatch. That and it had a lot of my favorite anime VA's. Ultimately the game failed to the extensive character unlock process and loot box mechanics. As of Feb 2020 you
    This game was a massive disappointment.

    The premise was good, Moba arena fights for competitive play and a campaign mode to give lore and structure to the game without needing a bunch of out-of-game sources like Overwatch. That and it had a lot of my favorite anime VA's.

    Ultimately the game failed to the extensive character unlock process and loot box mechanics. As of Feb 2020 you can no longer buy currency for loot boxes and at the end of the year the game will shut down. Since the game, even in single player campaign rely's on connecting to 2K's server the game will be completely unplayable, even if you own a physical copy of the game. I feel for people that spent good money and love this game to have it all ripped from them unceremoniously.

    We wish the story had a stronger narrative, the online restrictions weren’t so frustrating, and the humor had more variety. But the diversity in everyone’s abilities and playstyles should be enough to keep the light of this last star shining for dedicated Gearbox fans.

    Somewhere in the confusion of half-baked genres, messy visuals and flawed design are some great features. Battleborn does itself no favours trying to convey them. For the persistent only. [July 2016, p.92]

    Disarray is perhaps the best way to sum up Battleborn. [July 2016, p.108]
