✓ Same family of first-person Action RPGs: deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and first-person shooting

≠ Where it differs: brings precision platforming, punishing difficulty and ranged combat, while skipping real-time strategy

Movement-first shooting where healing comes from standing close to what you are killing, so the loop pushes you into danger constantly. Style ranking rewards variety over efficiency. Its ceiling is very high and very demanding — the systems assume you will learn cancels and parries, and it is still in early access with the final chapters unfinished.

Where it drifts furthest from Battleborn: game mode and combat.

≠ Its own twist: fighting mechanics, historical setting and visual third person, while skipping shooter

The lines between good and bad have been blurred and crime and terror run rampant in the streets. The alleys, rooftops and sewers are crawling with criminals and brutal gangs. And now, Underboss — in a daring escape — has broken out of prison and is ruling with vicious darkness. The city is in need of saviors and only masked hero vigilantes answer the call... you answer the call.

At its best in the hand-built cities and the faction questlines, where the writing and the systems both hold. Ship building is deeper than it first appears. The exploration loop is the weak point — procedurally generated planets repeat their points of interest quickly, and the constant loading screens between surface, ship and space break any sense of continuity.
