### 4/5 — BRING BACK BATTLEBORN TO CONSOLE!

*2023-05-22, version 1.2.5*

What the title said. ☝️

### 4/5 — Yeah I’m just wondering how the heck I can get in touch with gearbox and 2K

*2022-08-20*

Cause I just wanna talk to them about buying the campaign of Battleborn for some cash and I’m willing to pay a fair amount for it sooo get back to me please? Also I’m a huge fan of the studios typical stuff and hope to see more like this and if I can get the campaign then I’ll give you guys 5 stars deal?

### 4/5 — Still love this game!

*2019-10-12, version 1.2.5*

Just started over on my new phone. Lost all my old purchases, but oh well. I still love both Battleborns!

Just, uh, fix the Shift linking at some point, please.

### 3/5 — Fun simple game

*2018-08-25, version 1.2.5*

Actually enjoy the full game and this idle tapper version but they definitely just let it die out with no updates!

### 3/5 — Time filler

*2017-08-15, version 1.2.5*

Meh

### 3/5 — Cool game especially if you play battleborn(F2P)

*2017-07-07, version 1.2.5*

Please add an optional loot pack push notification setting and fix SHIFT account linking

### 4/5 — Very fun

*2017-04-26, version 1.2.5*

Good game. Has its bugs tho

### 5/5 — 11/10

*2017-04-21, version 1.2.5*

I hope I can get Battleborn on Xbox soon

### 4/5 — Good for learning BB characters

*2017-03-13*

This is a solid idle game which I personally enjoy playing mainly because it helps me understand BB characters. Abilities are representative of actual in game abilities, however I can't give 5 stars due to Shift problems and occasional bugs.

### 2/5 — Might be fun

*2017-02-28, version 1.2.5*

My progress was never saved between sessions so I stopped playing.  I replayed levels 2-10 several times but was always back at lvl 2 when I logged back in.

### 4/5 — Fun time waster

*2017-02-21*

Fun to play if you are a fan of Battleborn

### 5/5 — Fun

*2017-02-20, version 1.2.5*

Fun little app. I'm enjoying it. I wish more would carry over into the main game but still great for a free app😊

### 5/5 — Great tap game

*2017-02-18, version 1.2.5*

Very addictive

### 4/5 — This game is good

*2017-02-10, version 1.2.5*

I honestly like this game, its fun to me and addictive. But i just wish all the characters from the game were in it. Including the DLC characters. But other then that, its fun

### 2/5 — All content lost

*2016-09-26*

I was enjoying this game for a few days. At rank 6 the game broke and wouldn't load. I closed the app, rebooted the phone and even waited 5 minutes giving the app plenty of time to load. However I decided to remove the app and reinstall it. I reinstalled it and logged back into shift and the game never carried my progress. After research I saw that the developer says not to delete app when having problems loading or else you will lose purchases and progress. Not worth more than a cheap thrill and no money if progress won't carry.

### 1/5 — Dead game- nothing in 4 years

*2020-07-12, version 1.2.5*

No updates/fixes/improvements in 4 years

### 1/5 — This game lost my progress and makes absolutely no sense

*2020-02-09*

I started playing a few weeks ago and I had unlocked like six Battleborn. Suddenly today I’m starting over and have to re-unlock them? It saved my achievement data but I can’t seem to use my already unlocked characters. Seems like a bug...

Also there’s literally no point to playing. I just reopen the app after a few days and earn a ton of currency without playing. So there’s just no incentive to keep playing.

### 1/5 — Sad

*2017-05-25, version 1.2.5*

Why did you guys stop supporting this game? Don't let both battleborns die

### 1/5 — Didn't deliver

*2016-10-28, version 1.2.5*

Was promised a golden orendi skin never received one :(

### 1/5 — New Phone?  Lose Purchases

*2016-09-30, version 1.2.5*

I started playing a few days ago, enjoyed the game, and even bought some upgrade packs with in-app.  Then, I get a new phone, restore my backup from the old phone, log the app into shift and I have none of my purchases and there is no feature to restore purchases.

### 1/5 — No orendi skin!

*2016-09-02, version 1.2.5*

I got the app for the gold orendi skin. I never got it. Neither did anyone else I know using the iOS version. The app is fun, but all I wanted was the gold orendi skin. :(

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2016-08-18, version 1.2.5*

Was fun until it dumped my profile and I lost all my progress. Don't waste your time

### 1/5 — Tedium with NO Reward

*2016-08-01, version 1.2.5*

No skill, no logic, absolutely nothing is required to play this disaster of a game. The only thing that would make it remotely worth your time is the log-in rewards. However, I can not log in with my SHIFT account. I get an error every time. They couldn't even get that right!!!

### 1/5 — False claims in update

*2016-06-11, version 1.2.5*

I'm glad that the rest of the heroes were added, but the proclaimed updates are lies. 

The free pack does not have a reduced cooldown and I see no difference in the drone buff times.

Please actually implement these changes if you are going to put an update presenting them. 1 star until these false updates are made real.

### 1/5 — Misleading update

*2016-06-10, version 1.2.5*

The freepack cooldown wasn't reduced and I haven't noticed the other changes. Blue coins are harder to get.

### 5/5 — Gearbox, 2K whoever, PLEASE I BEG OF YOU

*2025-05-01, version 1.2.5*

Guys, for this game you absolutely cooked but please please please please please please please PLEASE JUST LET THE BATTLEBORN CAMPAIGN BE PLAYED PLEASE THATS ALL I WANT!

### 5/5 — You are missed

*2025-04-16*

Every couple months I redownload this game and get hyper focused on it. Considering it’s almost a decade since the last update I know this game is done. Just wanted to possibly let a developer know they had something with potential here and a pt. 2 might be a fruitful idea in the age of phone games. Thanks to the gals and fellas who put this together.

### 5/5 — Top Game To Save Money From Pay To Win.

*2025-01-04, version 1.2.5*

Battleborn Tap Is A Game From 2016 By 2K And Bee Square Inc Witch Is Battleborn But Playable On
The Go.

### 5/5 — A star is born

*2024-05-26, version 1.2.5*

The brighter a star shines, the faster it burns.

### 5/5 — I crave Battleborn

*2023-06-21*

Everyday I play this game I crave Battleborn. Every single just worked so well. Not LOL, not SMITE. Battleborn. Rn, Overwatch 2 is not the king no more. I would be satisfied with even a patch were it ran me alone on my computer with bots. I mained thorn, issac, marquis, and kid ultra. 
The only way to play Battleborn rn is this app on Apple apple devices. 
And I am not satisfied.

### 5/5 — Awsoume but some suggestions

*2021-10-19*

I love Battleborn Tap. Its like yoi play it anywhere you like. I do have some ideas. Like adding new locations and bosses, like Geoff, ISIC (despite being a DPS character),and maybe some others that aren’t in the game from the console version.

And bring the game back. Reopen the game. The consle game. I miss the game alot :(

And i want a Switch port

### 5/5 — This is the last playable battleborn game

*2021-04-25*

With Battleborn having been shutdown and taken down from every store, this is technically the last, intact playable battleborn game.. Very sad

### 5/5 — Hello!!

*2017-11-26*

I still play this game all the time for the hell of it...is there ever gonna be a leader boards even tho its dead? I think i have actually gotten further than anybody on the planet with a 7.10% bonus at the bottom

### 5/5 — Awsome

*2017-09-05*

I just wish you don't have to pay too much coins to get one Battleborn character

### 5/5 — It's worth it

*2017-07-12*

I really like this game,it's a nice occupy your time thing without a crap ton of adds and without being pay to win. I saw this for the PS4 too
