While Dragon Keep will cost monies on Steam, it’s available for free on the Epic Games Store for a week. You can head to its Epic Games Store to nab it for free anytime between now and 4pm on November 16th. After that - and on Steam right now - it’ll cost £8/€10. Assault On Dragon Keep is essentially a fantasy spin-off of Borderlands, set inside a game of in-world TTRPG called Bunkers & Badasses. You’re still using guns, but now to shoot at fantasy creatures, and its story uses the meta-narrative to poke fun at a lot of fantasy tropes with typical Borderlands style. (I would define that style as: “loud”.) I’m curious how it holds up. This re-release of Dragon Keep is apparently much the same as the original, but with “brand-new loot and cosmetics.” A lot of the appeal and praise for the original release was that it felt like it did more and went further than a typical piece of DLC, however. Removed from that context, I wonder how it feels. Likewise, I wonder how Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands will feel when it apparently takes the ideas of Dragon Keep and gives them the full-game treatment next year. It’s due for release on March 25th, 2022.
