Gaming: Tiny Tina's Wonderland Is A Great Borderlands Spin-off

Borderlands has been a hit for Gearbox studios time and time again. Ever since the game dropped all the way back in 2009, it has been full of shenanigans, explosions, and barrels of laughs. The looter-shooter has an almost comic book feel to it, both in tone and aesthetics. However, the game excels with its humor and tone that fits perfectly into the cartoonish world they’ve created. They’ve had a few sequels to the game but never an actual spin-off like Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. How great is the newest game?

From Google

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is an action role-playing first-person shooter video game developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games. It is a spin-off in the Borderlands series and a successor to Borderlands 2: Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep.”

If you’re a fan of Borderlands, then there can’t be many ways you won’t like Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. it takes all the goofy antics of the original series and carries them over. Then it cranks it up a notch by adding its own separate play that stands apart just the same. You still get to fight waves of pesky enemies, grand bosses, and yes there are still Badasses. You still have the crazy loot drops that change and scale over the course of the game. You still get weapons that have all sorts of weird perks to change your attack style.

In Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, you’ll get similar character classes and builds as Borderlands, only this time you get a D&D (or B&B) style twist. Each character will still have their action skills that cause mayhem. Their grenades have been swapped out for spells. Instead of shields, you get wards. They took everything you love about Borderlands and gave it a fantasy game spin. Each and every part of your character customization looks straight out of an RPG.

They even have the Overworld, which mimics the old Final Fantasy game for the NES with free-roam battles you stumble across various enemies you can do battle with and level up your class. Where the game borrows from Borderlands but steps away at the same time is the multi-class skill. In Borderlands you’d have skill trees that let you change your role based on your play style. You could be an attack class, heal, or ranged. In Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, you still get the ability to unlock another skill tree, only this time you can be multi-class. If you can’t decide between being a Clawbringer or Spellshot, you don’t have to. Once you get to a certain point in the game, you can be both.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands was the perfect compliment to the Borderlands franchise. They’re definitely some of the few games that are worth spending the extra money for Deluxe Editions. If you’re looking for your next game to play, start there.
