Borderlands

Borderlands is an action role-playing first-person shooter set on the distant planet of Pandora. Players choose from four characters, each with distinct combat abilities, and explore an open world rendered in a distinctive cartoon-style visual approach. Gameplay revolves around completing missions, defeating enemies, and collecting procedurally generated weapons with varying statistics and elemental effects. The game supports cooperative play for up to four players, with enemy difficulty scaling based on the number of participants. You play one of four mercenaries on the lawless planet, searching for the Vault, a legendary stockpile of powerful alien technology. Character progression follows an RPG model with experience levels and skill trees, so the game is billed as a role playing shooter. Weapons include rocket-launching shotguns, enemy-torching revolvers and submachine guns that fire lightning rounds. You can play alone or drop in and out of online co-op. The Steam release is the Game of the Year edition.
