The story and characters in Tales from the Borderlands manages to beat out anything that 2K and Gearbox have come up with over three massive shooter games (which admittedly aren't all that great in terms of story anyway), so you owe it to yourself to try it. That means you can download it and jump into the story of company man Rhys and tawdry trickster Fiona for nada, gratis, and nothing. The first episode, Zer0 Sum, is now free. But today you have no excuse not to check out Tales from the Borderlands, the adventure game series set in 2K's over-the-top sci-fi shooter universe. And I suppose that's fair - since each one will last you about 90 minutes (assuming you only play through it once), it's expensive by mobile standards. Thrown together as unwilling partners in an adventure to recover cash they both think is theirs, their journey will take you on a wild ride where gangsters, bandit lords, and Vault Hunters are just some of the obstacles you’ll encounter, in this new take on the award-winning universe created by Gearbox Software.It might be because all those adventure game episodes cost $5 a pop on Android. You’ll play as Rhys, a Hyperion ‘suit’ with dreams of being the next Handsome Jack, and Fiona, a Pandoran con artist looking to score her biggest ever swindle. Set on the unforgiving world of Pandora after the events seen in Borderlands 2, this is a story full of Borderlands’ trademark humor, following two adventurers on their quest for greatness. Tales from the Borderlands is a five part episodic game series from the creators of The Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series.
