Sadly, this is one people should steer well clear of. Poor story, clunky controls, boring combat, and a poor interface make playing this game for even a short period of time quite irritating.

Ok, so I like RPGs, and especially ones played in a 3D world like Borderzone. Unfortunately, Borderzone really explores the bottom end of this genre.

Now, the first impression of Borderzone is that the graphics is... dated. This is a bit of turn-off, but what makes it a lot worse is that they weren't very good even by that standard. Some quite old games with dated graphics still feel OK, because although old and limited, they've done a lot with what they had. Baldur's Gate and games of that era may not have had even close to the same resources available as Borderzone, but still come across as quite competent. This game, on the other hand, looks more like someones basement project.

Ok, so it doesn't look too good. Not necessarily the end of the world, but when combined with very generic, and simplistic, game play, there's just no hope. There are just too many RPG games available at every price point that blows this turkey out of the water in just about every aspect.

I really wanted to like Borderzone, I really did, but the controls were subpar and the storyline flat out boring (which in an RPG is a great sin to me). I was very excited about the mech meets fantasy element, but was very dissappointed.

I think action rpg games are always worth a shot, but when you play a piece like this, it's so frustrating that you simply don't want to keep playing anymore.

I'm not really talking about graphics or the controls (Which aren't perfect either) but the feeling of gameplay here. It just doesn't feel right.

I think pretty much everyone agrees that this game is a dud. Cumbersome controls, sluggish movement, uninteresting story line and dull combat makes this fantasy meets mech game a chore to play. I didn't experience any crashes or encounter any bugs but that is about the only positive to this game. Avoid.

A shame about the terrible interface which makes doing everything tedious. The lack of feedback about skills and what use they are doesn't help either. A shame as despite the Shadowground rip-off Fantasy meets High tech setting, it could have been an interesting game even with the Neverwinter Nights ugly 3D graphics.

Borderzone is an action roleplaying game set in a post apocalyptic fantasy universe. Dull characters, confusing story and frustarating combat makes this a chore.

This is a low budget game and it shows. Graphics are subpar, localisation is mediocre, story is confusing, characters are not fleshed out and the interface is clunky.

Get this if you are a fan of the genre and preferably during a sale.

Graphics: Old/out dated; the engine is old and it tells. 3/10

Gameplay: Interface is not well designed and gets frustrating after a while. 5/10

Story: Ok story but seems the typical post apocalyptical one, but with a fantasy theme added (sp think Apocalypse on a fantasy world rather than our own, which I will admit, is sort of something I have not seen often). 6/10

Issues: the game has a few bugs here and there, nothing major. I did experience some hanging occasionally like the reviewer behind but it didn't really bother me as my machine is older. 7/10

So over all, I'd give it a 2.5... but can't so 2 will have to do

so yeah, borderzone could have been an interesting game. its just that, its not. its got a sorta generic post apocalyptic fantasy plot with boring characters and some really awful translations. while at first it can be pretty funny it grows old after a while trying to figure out what the heck to do. also, on two different machines whenever i saved the game or exited to the main menu it would hang for a good 60 seconds. i thought it was locking up at first. i could find any fixes on the internet for this problem but it seems fairly common for an obscure game. for me, it was certainly not worth it. i give it a rating of a capital Bleh minus

Despite an appealing opening sequence this turned out to be a very poor game. The character creation was mediocre at best with no ability to change name or race and no information on what certain stats improve. Graphics and character movement were poor and by no means made up for the bad character creation.

The game interface is absolutely terrible (moving the character around is cumbersome), and I eventually un-installed it after a couple of frustrating hours.
