Borderlands Legends gets huge overhaul, adds extra features, and loot drops

The disappointing Borderlands Legends has received an update that promises to improve the gameplay and visuals, and introduce those all-important loot drops.

The update also includes more new features, including a Sniper Mode that allows weapon focus, rare Eridian weapons to find, and Game Center support.

Released around a month after huge console and PC title Borderlands 2, Legends - a squad-based action-strategy game for iOS - sounded like it would be a dream come true.

But, of course, if you're going to attach your blockbuster shooter's name to such a lazy creation as Legends, with its clunky gameplay, and fiddly controls, you're going to leave customers feeling ripped off.

Pocket Gamer's own review described Legends as a "half-hearted promotional tool for the main Borderlands franchise". We weren't best pleased, then.

Perhaps with this latest update (and a promotional price plunge to 69p / 99c) it's not too late to make amends and win back some of the Borderland's audiences approval. Here's hopin', Vault Hunters.
