Telltale's finest work set in the Borderlands universe. Witty writing, endearing characters, and a genuine heart beneath the humor. Essential even for those unfamiliar with the mainline Borderlands games.

"Masterful"
Two con artists each recount, in their own way, how they searched for a legendary vault on a lawless planet. Blending zany comedy and sincere emotion, the choice-driven tale surprises with its lively writing and endearing characters. An overlooked Telltale gem, it proves you can laugh and be moved at once.
