Destructoid, 5.0/10.
Beyond the poorly implemented interface, there's nothing particularly wrong with Borderlands Legends. It's a serviceable little iOS spin-off that provides the most basic and fundamental of playable experiences. However, it's still a monotonous and unexciting slog through a game that plays out like a stuck record, and even the most hardcore of Borderlands fans will find little of interest, lacking as it does the series' trademark personality.
If you ever spot it available for a dollar (and it will be available for a dollar at some point), then it's worth picking up for those days when you're really, really bored. There's nothing in here worth any greater investment than that.
Pocket Gamer, 5/10.
Borderlands Legends is a complete waste of a stellar IP, offering clunky action-strategy fare and paying mere lip service to the series's core strengths
Touch Arcade, 2/5.
Even if you're not a Borderlands fan, though, this is not a recommended game. In theory, it should be awesome, but in practice nothing works like it should. Legends is a sloppy, unimaginative game that isn't ready for primetime.
IGN, 6.5/10.
Borderlands Legends is a good idea dragged down by its inconsistent execution and lack of content. An overhead action-strategy Borderlands has a tremendous amount of potential. Sometimes that potential manages to show through in Borderlands Legends. But it's easy to feel let down by the game's random & repetitive nature and technical issues.
