Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands: A tale of Bunkers, badasses and a lot of loot to collect.

By Aaron James Stead 22/09/2025

When Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands launched in March 2022, it brought the chaotic spirit of Borderlands into an all-new, fantasy-fuelled realm of adventure. Developed by Gearbox Software, this spin-off captures everything fans love about the looter-shooter franchise—crazy guns, over-the-top humour, and endless loot—while adding a fresh layer of tabletop RPG-inspired gameplay and magical mayhem.

A Fantasy World Built on Imagination

The game is set within the Bunkers & Badasses tabletop campaign, with Tiny Tina as the dungeon master. Players enter a whimsical, ever-changing fantasy universe where dragons soar, skeleton armies march, and the rules of reality bend to Tina’s will. One moment you’re exploring a serene forest; the next, you’re facing a cheese-obsessed necromancer in a candy-coloured dungeon.

Loot Like Never Before

True to the Borderlands legacy, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands delivers a staggering amount of loot to collect, but with a fantasy twist. Instead of only high-tech firearms, players wield magic-infused guns, powerful spells, and melee weapons like swords and axes. The addition of spells as a core combat mechanic opens up new layers of strategy, letting players chain magical attacks with gunfire for devastating combos.

Deep Customization & Role-Playing Fun

Unlike many entries in the series, Wonderlands introduces multi-class characters and tabletop-inspired stats. Players can create custom heroes, mix character classes, and allocate skill points to build unique playstyles. Whether you prefer to blast enemies with ice spells, summon companions, or rain bullets from afar, the game encourages creative experimentation.

Multiplayer Chaos and Co-op Adventures

As with its predecessors, the game shines in co-op mode, allowing players to band together for dungeon crawling and loot hunting. Gearbox added flexible difficulty scaling, meaning friends can play together at different levels and still feel challenged. This makes Wonderlands equally fun for solo adventurers and groups of chaotic Vault Hunters alike.

DLC Additions & Community Feedback

Over time, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands has expanded with several downloadable content packs and mirrors that introduce fresh challenges, loot, and a new class. Key DLCs include:

Mirrors of Mystery series: Coiled Captors, Glutton’s Gamble, Molten Mirrors, and Shattering Spectreglass—each adding new mini-dungeons, bosses, and loot.

Blightcaller class introduced in Shattering Spectreglass, bringing new

mechanics with plague-themed abilities and summoning powers.

Community opinions on these DLCs are mixed. Many players appreciate the added grind, extra loot, and new content for endgame play, but there’s also criticism. Some feel the DLCs are “story-light,” offering more of the same encounters rather than deeply new zones or narrative arcs. Others question the value for the price, describing the content as fun but somewhat repetitive compared to full-scale expansions.

A Unique Step for the Borderlands Universe

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands stands out as a bold direction shift for the Borderlands franchise. By fusing fantasy elements with the signature Borderlands gunplay, Gearbox successfully delivered a game that appeals to longtime fans and newcomers alike. Its success has encouraged speculation about future expansions, sequels, or continued support in Tina’s unpredictable universe.
