This Sure Looks Like A Knockoff Borderlands Game For Your iOS Device

And it’s not half bad! Well, I might actually call it half bad, half good. The game is called Star Warfare: Black Dawn, made by Freyr. It seems to be their latest addition to their Star Warfare series. They’re calling it the “first RPG-FPS” game, but that can’t be true. That’s kind of what Borderlands‘…
