Surprisingly, Borderlands Mobile is a genuine game that was released unexpectedly, though it’s currently a limited-time test. It’s scheduled to be removed later this month, but early reactions from fans have been very positive. The game is still under development and its final name might not be Borderlands Mobile. While only one of the four planned Vault Hunters – the Summoner – is currently playable, fans are getting a good sense of what each character will offer. The Assassin Vault Hunter, in particular, feels like a mobile version of the popular character Zer0.

Free games often aren’t known for being high quality, though many actually have some good reviews. It’s hard for them to get noticed on platforms like Steam, especially when they don’t have a lot of feedback.

We’re judging them based on their combat strength, not the skills of the Shifter.
