The action never stops even when you are expected to interact with the game and the game takes your input and switches over to the next scene seamlessly depending upon on what and how well you played. Very few times you will actually be moving around and most of the time you are watching a cutscene being played. The end result is less of a traditional game and more of an interactive movie. Apart from that, you also occasionally move about and do basic interaction with objects. Other than that, there are also plenty of quick-time events, where you have to tap on a particular point on the screen, or swipe in the indicated direction, repeatedly tap a button before the timer runs out. Your choices have some longstanding but mostly immediate repercussions and the other characters and the story react accordingly. The basic gameplay remains similar to other Telltale games there are timed interactions wherein you have to choose an option to continue the conversation. You either play as Rhys or Fiona, depending upon the situation. That is where they meet Fiona and her sister Sasha, couple of thieves who were also part of the deal but for different reasons. Unfortunately for them, the deal quickly goes sour upon their arrival on the planet Pandora where it was supposed to take place. Rhys is a disgruntled Hyperion employee working with his friend and colleague Vaughn to get back at their boss by making a deal behind his back. In Tales from the Borderlands, you play as one of the two main characters. The first episode simultaneously launched on PC, consoles and mobile late last year, with the second episode arriving next week. Tales from the Borderlands is an episodic point and click adventure game along the lines of the aforementioned Telltale games. Tales from the Borderlands uses characters from the Borderlands universe but places them in a new setting. It is made by Telltale Games, the same studio that made games like The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, and most recently, the Game of Thrones. Tales from the Borderlands is nothing like those games. The original game spawned a sequel and then a pre-sequel, that fit between the first two games.
TALES FROM THE BORDERLANDS GAME GRUMPS SERIES
Relative to overall timeline, episodes 1 to 3 take place some time after events of Borderlands 2, just right before The Pre-Sequel's prologue and epilogue, and remaining are set shortly after that.Borderlands is a series of first person shooters with a role playing element for consoles and PC. There are a total of five episodes in the adventure, each with their own release date.Ĭhronology-wise, events of Tales from the Borderlands are unreliably narrated by Rhys and Fiona roughly a year after they actually happened. Every choice made and everything they say is remembered by other characters and can influence later events. How they and other characters in the story react is up to the player. They have vastly different personalities but their circumstances force them to work together. The episodes feature two main characters: Rhys, a Hyperion business shark and Fiona, a tough-as-nails con artist. The game will usually wait until a decision is made, but sometimes choices must be made before time runs out. There are twists and turns that are dependent on player choices, and using simple keyboard or mouse commands players will be asked to react to situations. Unlike the Borderlands shooter games, Tales of the Borderlands is a storytelling adventure where players choose how the story plays out.
The game was initially released on November 25th, 2014 for PC/Mac, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, on November 26th for Xbox One, on December 3rd for Xbox 360, and on December 18th for iOS and Android. Tales from the Borderlands is an episodic graphic adventure game series developed by Telltale Games, with creative input from Gearbox Software.
