Battleborn (0)

Overview

Battleborn tells the story of an unlikely band of heroes and mercenaries who are forced to band together to protect Solus, the last solar system in the universe, from a mysterious enemy known as the Varelsi. 25 heroes combined from 5 different factions can be played, each with unique abilities and mannerisms, and can upgrade their abilities in real-time within each match.

5 players team up to fight AI-controlled enemies, including a few bosses, in levels that advance the main storyline of Battleborn. At least 8 missions are playable, with more to come as DLC.

Multiplayer

2 teams of 5 players apiece fight against each other in various modes for dominance.

• Incursion: Teams must escort their AI-controlled minions to help destroy their enemy's base while defending their own from a similar attack.
• Capture: A fast-paced team deathmatch style mode where heroes must capture and hold specific objectives to win.
• Meltdown: Teams must escort their minions as they march towards a grinder, while preventing their opponents from doing the same.

Characters

Last Light Consortium (LLC)
