A grim tale with challenging combat, rewarding exploration
Although the difficulty is challenging, the second game developed by Odd Bug Studios is not a Dark Souls inspired creation. Tails of Iron walks its own path following a medieval fantasy theme set in the world of animals. From the very first minutes of the game, you will realize that this a brutal frog eats rat world. Though he has older and bigger brothers, after the rat king is killed, it falls to Regie, our hero to save the kingdom. The task will be daunting, because after you manage to recover your brothers from the clutches of the evil frog clan you will have to deal with the problem of a destroyed castle and the surrounding lands fallen into disarray. You will have to take up the sword or any other weapon you fancy, hold on to your shield and fight your way through levels that will remind older gamers why thy fell in love with Castlevania. Tails of Iron focuses on the story and the combat, keeping the other elements light but entertaining. The gameplay does not get overcomplicated as you progress through the 2d environment in a sequential order. The battles are challenging, but fair, and the developers have not been stingy with the save points and the bug juice that replenishes your hit points.
