In practice, Tails of Iron favors dodging over blocking. When it comes to defense, you’ll have blocking (available to either melee weapon) and dodging as well as dodge-rolling. No fancy respawn mechanics here - they just act like regular save points. And if you die, you start over from the last save point, which takes the form of various benches with an attached blue lantern. To keep you in good health, you can take a swig from your bug juice flask (Redgi likes it with chunks). In this charming side-scroller, you run around and beat up frogs, grubs, mozies (mosquitoes), and a few other similar enemies. Now Redgi has to fight an uphill battle to reclaim the realm. ![]() But everything changed when the swamp nation attacked. The frogs are invading your medieval ratte kingdom yet again, and your father is about to crown you the king. In this game, you’re not the bearer of some curse that ironically makes being unable to die a bad thing. Cockle moves the story along and asks and answers most of the questions the game presents.What’s needed for a game to be declared Souls-like? Brutal melee? Constant failure? A focus on death and rebirth? Estus flasks? Being featured in an Iron Pineapple video? Well, if combat is the key to Souls-dom, then Tails of Iron definitely has that in spades - and a lot of charm to boot. The rest of communication between the vast and interesting characters that inhabit the world are all done by pictographs and squeaks and grunts. The Witchers‘ Doug Cockle, is the lone voice actor. Red, yellow and white signal attacks will float over an enemies head when they are ready to attack, which makes it easy to get the hang of even the most difficult boss fights. ![]() Enemies have different attacks so don’t go in button mashing or you will end up on the wrong side of a bladed edge. When you battle Frogs, grubs, zombified rats, and other deadly threats the combat system keeps each fight fresh and exciting. Redgi is a little Rat, but he wields a murderous and bloody sword, or hammer or axe. The other way that Tails of Iron shines is the ruthless and at times violent gameplay. As well the way you as the player have to strategize the gameplay to your style is where this game shines. The thought put into the games menu makes it interactive. Or the smaller and lighter armor and weapon, but not as strong and deadly. If you equip the heaviest armor and biggest weapon then it will decrease the amount of damage taken. With the upgraded weapons and armor comes with it the skill and complexity of the battle. Overtime, as you complete side quests and main story missions, your armor and weapons become more powerful. Furthermore, your armor and sword are not upgraded yet. What happens from that moment on can seem a bit overwhelming, as the mechanics and fighting style can take a bit to get used to. When your father, King Rattus is slain by the evil Frog Clan, you as Redgi setout on a revenge mission to take back the kingdom. You play as Redgi, son of the king and heir to your fathers throne. The story is fairly straightforward and is not the selling point for this game. ![]() But with side quests, and armor to collect, there is more than enough in this game that will make it worth your bucks. A 2D rodent fantasy game ala Dark Souls or Hollow Knight that is fun to play but also beautiful.ĭeveloped by Odd Bug Studio and published by United Labels Games, Tails of Iron won’t take up too much of your time to complete the main story. Tails of Iron works best when played alongside a re-watch of Game of Thrones. Banish the merciless Frog clan… once and for all! As Redgi, heir to the Rat Throne, you must embark on a perilous quest to reclaim your Kingdom. Tails of Iron is an epic RPG Adventure with punishingly brutal combat. ![]()
