It is, at its heart, an action-comedy and that's what I found most refreshing about it. Other times it's picking on police procedurals. Not exactly Iron Man, but he'll have to do.Īt different times, TFTB emulates different genres. Other jokes are frequently built directly into the story meaning even if you choose to pass on some funny moments, the overall tone of the story won't be compromised. Often times the jokes are presented among the dialogue options, which is a subtly rewarding way of handing the role of comedian to the player. Even when the characters are in danger, which they nearly always are, the writing is light and humorous. It should actually be noted that I feel Tales is not just the funniest of the Borderlands games, but is one of the funniest games I've ever played. Rhys and Fiona are infinitely likable as characters, and the long list of secondary characters are always interesting too. The story is, like with any Telltale game, TFTB's main attraction.
Tales from the borderlands summary series#
Veterans of 2K's mainline Borderlands series are surely well versed in the lore of vaults, their rewards, and their dangers. They're strangers at the outset of the story, but not too long into the first of five episodes, their paths cross when they both seek what everyone in the Borderlands universe is seeking: a vault key.Ī necessary but unstable alliance emerges then and there that sets our characters in motion toward an equally mysterious and dangerous vault, said to hold unimaginable treasures for those who can reach it. The latter is a smooth talking grifter who, along with her like-minded sister, is always looking for the big score. The former is a forgettable cog in the all-powerful Hyperion mega-corporation wheel with fantasies of power. Players take control of dual protagonists, Rhys and Fiona.
It is, as previously alluded to, a point-and-click adventure wherein the choices you make and relationships you forge help shape the direction and outcome of the story. If you've played any of Telltale's recent games, the formula in Tales from the Borderlands ( TFTB) will be immediately familiar.
