You get a few through normal progression and doing the missions, but a few require extra effort, like feeding the queen, attacking the darkness (snicker) and getting the amulet. Unlike the previous DLCs, which had three achievements each, Dragon Keep has ten. They are enjoyable, and there are at least 2-3 in each zone. Many of these poke fun at MMOs or are references to other game and the like. Besides the main campaign, there are numerous side quests to do. They were fine fights but just took too long. The boss fights were probably the least fun part of the whole campaign. We were both level 50 and playing on True Vault Hunter mode if you want a frame of reference. There's three main ones, and each one took my wife and I about 20 minutes. A chunk of this will be spent on the boss fights, since they last a long time. The main campaign itself is about 5 hours. It's probably the coolest weapon in the game (thanks, Torgue!)Īt this point you are likely wondering how long the DLC is. Even if I don't use it much, I have to keep that gun. However, Mister Torgue makes it better by demanding the sword explodes, and then throws out more swords that also explode. The best ones I've come across so far are the "fireball" and "magic missile" grenades, and of course, the "Swordsplosion" gun. Hearing the strange way she talks but in Roland's voice is just funny.īeing a game all about loot, you will be happy to know there are several pieces of unique loot in Assault on Dragon Keep. Although the best lines, to me, are when Tina is voicing Roland. I'm glad they found a way to stick him in there because my wife and I loved listening to him talk in the Torgue DLC, and I'm happy to hear him yell again. Plus, it even has my new favorite character, Mister Torgue. In a lot of ways it's a love letter to the "nerdier" side of life (yay!), and I definitely approve. It stays true to the world of Borderlands while still cramming in lots of references, winks and nods to fantasy and sci-fi. I like that it breaks the fourth wall without actually breaking it. Being a game within a game, it is very self aware. Without giving away many spoilers, it primarily deals with Tina dealing with the events that take place near the end of the main game. The story of Assault on Dragon Keep is actually really good. They can quickly become five levels over you, making them ridiculously hard to kill and are best avoided at that point. The most annoying enemies are the Orcs warlords that level up similar to the Goliaths. Not only do some of them have axes stuck in their heads, but when they die, they sink into the ground and grow a small patch of mushrooms. Maybe it's just because I haven't played a game that lets me shoot them, but the little ones have some great animation. For some reason, I really like the treants. Even so, there are lots of new things, like sorcerers that summon things like fire birds, skeletons that have a sword that must be removed to kill them, and floating skeleton heads. Some behave similarly to enemies found in the base game, there are Suicide Skeletons and the golems are similar to the Goliaths. There are skeletons, knights, orcs, golems and treants to name a few. To go along with the new setting, there are plenty of new enemies that fit the fantasy theme. You have plenty of room to explore and various places to go for the many quests contained within. The settings are cool, and thankfully will change to their cheerier counterparts once you beat the main campaign. Throughout the DLC, you will be travelling from a shore, through the woods and to the tall tower of Dragon Keep. Then it becomes a dark, spooky place, resembling the dark woods from several fairy tales. It all starts out as a bright and sunny place with butterflies and rainbows until Tina is reminded it was supposed to be bleak. The game within the game takes place in a fantasy setting very different from the normal wastelands of Pandora. Taking a break from fighting Hyperion, Lilith, Brick and Mordecai are playing a Dungeons and Dragons-style RPG called "Bunkers and Badasses" with Tina as the dungeon master, with your Vault Hunters being the player characters. Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep is the latest piece of DLC for Borderlands 2.
