Borderlands is a Sci-Fi shooter FPS with RPG elements which takes place on a planet called Pandora. Game also features co-op and a lot of guns.

Plot:

This planet, Pandora was colonized by humans, who were drawn in by seemingly great amounts of mineral resources. The colonists soon find out that the planet's resources weren't as vast as told, but instead they discover alien ruins filled with alien technology. Colonists also discover that there are still some primitive hostile alien life forms on the planet. So, the rich folk escape the horrors of the planet, but the rest remain on the planet. Some colonists seek fortune by hunting alien technology, but most are just struggling for their lives.

Pandora:

"Pandora is the planet on which Borderlands takes place. It is a barren, desolate world filled with dangerous creatures. Pandora has a 60-hour day and takes ten earth years to orbit its sun. Pandora was first settled by humans during its winter season, when much of its wildlife was hibernating. After seven earth years, however, its climate is heating up as the summer season draws near. This has resulted in the native wildlife waking from their hibernations, most of which are hostile to Pandora's new human visitors"

Characters:

There are 4 characters in the game. Each has their own skills, backstories and unique abilities. The characters can be leveled up and their stats raised, such as health totals, ammo capacity, and accuracy. Each character also has three unique focus skill trees to develop.

Mordecai

Sniper and pistols guy. Has a "Bloodwing", which is a bird he can use as an organic boomerang. It deals tons of damage and has 28 second cooldown by default.

"Mordecai came to Pandora in search of a man from his past named Yujinny. Upon learning that Yujinny has died, Mordecai sets off to learn how he died and what he was carrying."

Lilith

She's a stealthy-quick-shoot-fast kind of character. She has a skill called phase walk, it's pretty much invisibility, except it kills or stuns people when he comes out of it.

"Once human, Lilith was turned into one of only six Sirens, a group of people with unbelievable powers who have been touched by alien technology. She comes to Pandora in search of another Siren, in an effort to find out more about herself."

Brick

He's a strong dude, uses heavy weapons. As his special ability, he can go berserk and *BLAM* *BLAM* up with his fists.

(No back story for him)

Roland

Soldier guy. Supports group with ammo and health, is skilled with all weapons. Can deploy a turret.

"Roland is a former soldier of the Crimson Lance, a sort of highly trained private military that disregards law and order. A decade-old vendetta is rekindled when Roland learns that the leader of the Brigadiers has a suspiciously similar name to a man he has sworn to kill."

Weapons:

Borderlands uses massive load of weapons as one of its marketing gimmicks. Borderlands uses a procedural process to generate its various guns in certain classes, such as handguns, shotguns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, etc., but with many variations of firing speed, reload speed, damage type and more. Devs have said that there are more than 17,500,000 different weapons. The differences aren't that big usually, they can be stuff like a slightly longer barrel and so on.
