two impassable areas in the final mission if you jump down in the wrong place. terrible game design, hours wasted
Is Tiny Tina the most annoying character in videogame history? Every time this goblin opened her mouth in this game I wanted to mute the TV.
This is a Borderlands 2 DLC with a fantasy theme. The fantasy theme is not done well. Borderlands 2 had a bright color pallette that fit its cartoony theme and graphics. Assault on Dragon Keep is a grungy mess of earth tones. The game is so freakin' dark that I often was unable to clearly see enemies despite having the brightness turned all the way up.
Gameplay wise, this was just Borderlands 2, with nothing new added. In fact, it destroyed all my good memories of Borderlands 2 by reminding me viscerally of the game's flaws. Movement in this game is painfully slow. Strafing is so useless that all the enemies might as well be hitscans. Doesn't matter because you can and will cheese through every fight. Guns come in 51 flavors of unbalanced. RNG means you can find a god-tier pistol at the beginning of the campaign and use it to cheese your way through every fight. Level design goes from "OK" to "brain-dead stupid": there are literally temporary buff items placed so far away from the places where enemies are that your buff runs out before you can get to a fight.
Overall, this game was "Facebook fun." It kept my attention and was marginally better than watching paint dry, but the longer I kept playing it, the more repetitive and uninspired it felt. I have had enough of Borderlands in my life, and do not intend to play any more of the games, especially when I can play Doom or Rage 2.

Started this excited to have an excuse to play some more BL2, but I quickly remembered that this DLC was never lauded for its gameplay, but for its script. The writing is still fun as ever, but man, did this DLC always suck with the god damn Skeleton Seers that teleport around constantly, the annoying-ass archers that stun you like five times per second and... Well, everything is more or less annoying in this DLC. Orcs are pretty fun to fight, I guess, because they're stupid and not very annoying. Also, this time, they added glitches that weren't there before! I've never had the brother quest in the dungeon glitch out but it did now and none of the corpses resurrected when they're supposed to.
I made it to the ultra-annoying raising platform "puzzle" in the dungeon, the one that has always had annoyingly mismatched platform movement, which just makes it random if you survive or not, and realized that I just wasn't having fun and that this was always my least-favorite DLC on a gameplay level and that, in previous BL2 playthroughs, I always rushed this DLC as hard as possible to unlock the dragons. It was fun to collect the absurdly increased amounts of seraph crystals and eridium in this version, which was satisfying compared to how rare those currencies were in the original, but Borderlands will just never again be what it was back in BL2's prime, will it?

Oh god thanks
Imagine if they did this with the shitty Hammerlock DLC instead, that'd be really funny

Tiny Tina: Asalto a la mazmorra del dragón (2013): Detesto todo el tema del looteo, las stats irrelevantes y su diseño de niveles regulero, PERO. El lore es muy interesante, la narrativa está muy bien llevada y la trama y los personajes rebosan carisma. Y lo bueno pesa más (7,25)
not for me
making a full-fledged game out of DLS is certainly powerful
Best. dlc. EVER!
Enjoyment - 5/10
Difficulty - 3/10
Very short campaign. Originally DLC, this was made as a standalone game to promote the upcoming release of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. Thematically, it is Borderlands DnD. Very grindy to get to max level. There is legitimately no point to get max level except for the trophy, making the whole achievement journey a bit redundant.

Too many enemies, not enough loot. Still played for way longer than planned wiv da missus. Hopefully the new game has more to it for us to enjoy
I didn't get it. I gave it a shot, but wasn't feeling it after a while. Also, I have the Borderlands Collection, which I understand this is a DLC of, so I'll probably try that one in the future. I just wanted to clear my backlog and I'm not that into fantasy, so for me it's a pass.
Storytelling as characters playing FRP and we are the characters in the FRP is just pretty fun. On top of that dialogues of original characters and their playing style of FRP is making things more fun. Game itself has this unique style. (At least for me.) FPS and adventure wise not that bad but not that good either. Everything works fine but there is nothing special. Just one thing tho: Burning damage is just kinda TOO MUCH.
Хороший аддон на 7-8 часов, пародирующий днд и повышающий градус безумия серии Borderlands. Чего-то выдающегося, чтобы проект заслужил от меня 5 звёзд, я не увидел, но пройти в кооперативе небольшую, но приятную историю, было классно. Если бы не несколько затянутое пробивание через толпу болванчиков к боссу, вышло бы ещё сочнее. А так, палец вверх!
As far as standalone expansions go... this was fine. It's a repackaged version of the Borderlands 2 DLC of the same name (now with more incessant grinding because you're starting with a fresh character). Completely unnecessary, but it's Borderlands; it's not all that bad... all of the time.
A lot of good easter egg side quests that was favoured back in 2013 or so. Great humour and voice acting.
Playtime: 9 Hours
Score: 8/10
Finally finished this DLC only now in 2022, even though I have replayed Borderlands 2 a dozen times I never finished this DLC, as no matter what level I was going in, the enemies would always be overpowered and I could never beat it. Fast track to now that Tiny Tina Wonderland is releasing, they rereleased this DLC as its own standalone expansion game, which is how I finally played all the way through and beat it.
The standalone version starts you at level 1 and you get 2 skill points per level as opposed to 1, which makes the leveling process much quicker and makes you more equipped to deal with the later enemies, but you can obviously play this normally as part of DLC for the main Borderlands 2 game.
I can finally see why this DLC is the most beloved of the whole series as its really cool to have the Borderlands formula mixed with DnD like roleplaying. The music as well is amazing and evokes fantasy RPG vibes, especially the main town theme. The story for this DLC also serves as the best epilogue to Borderlands 2's main story, and how Tina deals with the consequences of Handsome Jack's actions. The story was overall well done and it was nice to experience as a Borderlands fan.
Only real compliant I have is Handsome Jack who is the villain for this one again, barely gets any great lines or scenes like he did in the base game, and is more an afterthought villain, like they couldn't think of a new one. Also while this is more geared towards the standalone version then the original add on one, the loot progression mostly sucks, as a lot of the guns I picked up weren't all that great and I only picked up 2 legendries in my playthrough, with one being useless and not for my playstyle. But overall, no matter which way you play this, its worth a playthrough!

Meu primeiro contato com a franquia Borderlands, achei um jogo curto porém bem engraçado e divertido de se jogar com os amigos
Really fun in coop!
Unfortunately this standalone dlc fails to be as good as Border 2, being so fucking hard that can't be that funny, taking even more to kill enemies can become tedious, the good thing about it it's the ambients and the setting of a RPG
Apesar de curto (muito curto mesmo), foi um jogo bem divertido e frenético, se jogado com um amigo ou mais de um amigo, consegue ficar ainda mais interessante.
I don't know what @Assenemy is talking about, I found plenty of loot :p
For my actual review, this is pretty good dlc for a ps3 game thats now being released as a standalone. Kinda scummy it was on PlaystationPlus but its a good way to get hype for the new game coming up. Having played the original before I wasnt quite jumping to play it again but, a co-op game is a co-op game and I said why not lets do it. Overall I had a lot of fun, but some areas just have way too many enemies and feel like slogs only to pad out playtime. The story is pretty humorous (and a little touching), its a pretty creative idea for a dlc after all, and I can say for sure after playing this me and the partner are gonna play Wonderlands together too

IMPORTANT: The review and rating are NOT meant for the DLC, but for this standalone port.
There's not really much to say besides this being a completely pointless port of Borderlands 2's biggest DLC, and it's simply because the entire premise of said DLC is built upon a big plot point of BL2.
I don't even know for which audience Gearbox intended this for. Most Borderlands fans have already played Assault on Dragon Keep anyways and if you played this port as a complete newcomer to the series you're directly thrown in the middle of something with unfamiliar faces, which you're expected to know already.
Besides these points, the port lacks basic little things from the original DLC, including accessibility features like dubs for different languages (the port is only dubbed in English) and has an unbalanced level curve, since the entire leveling process is sped up by a lot in comparison to the BL2 counterpart to compensate for the lack of skills you'd usually start this DLC with.
TL;DR: As a standalone port the connection to the main story is entirely missing and basic things have been changed to the worse. You're better off just playing the DLC in Borderlands 2 instead.
