Summary

Story Line

"Battleborn’s story is set in a distant sci-fi fantasy future, where all but one star in the universe has gone dark at the hands of the vicious Varlesi. A single solitary beacon of hope remains – the last star, Solus. In the wake of the chaos, different species of survivors take refuge in the Solus system and form five factions based on their beliefs. Heroes called battleborn emerge from each faction and fight for what little resources are left in the system. Now, the Varelsi are threatening to finish what they’ve started, and only a united team of the universe’s most powerful heroes can stop them."

Game Analysis	Battleborn's required system CPU specs are a little odd. Its recommended Intel processor is weaker than the minimum Intel or AMD CPU requirement and the recommended Battleborn AMD CPU is weaker than the Min Intel CPU requirement. Apart from that strange anomaly with this MOBA's requirements we are looking at 6GB system memory and a mid level 2 to 3 year old graphics card to run Battleborn at high graphics settings and 1080p screen resolution. Battleborn is an intergalactic battle arena that borrows the NPC-bashing and fast levelling associated with traditional MOBAs. Including 5 vs 5 battle arena.
High FPS	200+ FPS ( GTX 1060 )
Note	Initial installation requires an internet connection for Steam authentication, and gameplay; software installations require (included with the game) include Steam Client, DirectX 11, NVidia PhysX, .Net Framework 4.5, Visual C++ Redistributable 2010, and Visual C++ Redistributable 2012.

This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of heroes who must battle to protect the last star in the universe. Players use assault rifles, swords, throwing knives, and special abilities (e.g., ice bullets, magic spells, cloaking device) to kill robots and alien creatures in frenetic combat. Battles are accompanied by realistic gunfire, large explosions, and colorful light effects. The words “a*s” and “bastard” are heard in the dialogue; one character holds up her middle finger (i.e., flipping the bird) as a taunt.
