That being said, with the exception of being the minor glitch on the sound, it is still beautifully done. And boy oh boy, you could feel the anger, the joy, and every emotion one would have as you go on your journey. The dialogue is not present conventionally in the game, but rather is narrated by Doug Cockle who if you don’t know also voiced Geralt or Rivia from the Witcher series. Particularly, on one level, you could see the bard playing on the background. The music has an in-game representation at times when you are travelling from town to town. You could have said, it is an Odd Bug! Kidding aside, it is truly magnificent when I was playing the game. When I was playing the game, the sound seems to glitch then desync then just give up entirely. Then comes the sound and music, I honestly don’t know what to feel about it. It’s a welcome addition to the overall combat option. Then, you will receive the option to apply poison (venom if you’d be too technical with it) which serves as your sole ability. This being the two-handed weapons and the range weapons respectively. Later on, you would be able to get two additional weapons. This can be used not only for defense but along with creating an opening for a counter even outside of parrying. Initially, you can equip a one-hand weapon along with a shield. The combat is also simple to learn and gives a good leeway for learning in comparison to other soulslike games. Now, some might say it as a dilution of the soulsborn formula but it is in no way as easy as one would think. They deal heavy damage adding a bit of realism to the mix in a way that you have to watch out for them. On a positive note, the range enemies particularly the archers are something to admire.
The mechanics is still enjoyable and has a good Metroidvania element along with a grim combat to back it up. No reason to select one set over the other. But that’s my personal opinion and don’t let it get in the way of enjoying the gameplay itself. Abilities and perks based on equipment could have been better than the “Just by the number” boost.
Only basic stats and customization are available. Personally, the RPG element isn’t fully explored. Particularly the mechanics, the choice of genre, and combat both would be good and bad. Gameplay wise, a lot could be said in this game. On your quest for your family and kingdom’s future you’d fight tooth and nail for your life and that of your subjects. Your dad is to be killed for story reason and you are thrust into the fight. Early on, it is kinda predicted that once the proper tutorial is done. On your journey, you will find intrigues that would question your family’s history. The story follows Redgi on his quest to defend and reclaim their land taken by the frog clan. The plot for Tails of Iron seems to be a typical nation under siege and you have to do everything to save them. Now, it isn’t a guarantee that it will give you a winning chance, but it at least gives you a break to heal up and prepare for the next fight. That last fighting chance that manages to give you that hope to finish it. How? Often times, I find myself being hit by a one hit move that somehow gives only a single HP left and this is what truly makes it stand out. As for soulslike, (I really hate saying that on gameplay as it is overdone by now) it is both unforgiving yet also gives you that special leeway for a last hoorah. Especially the hidden chambers, rooms and pathways not directly shown on the map. The metroidvania element play well into the medieval theme and the grim nature of the world. The gameplay is akin to that of Metroidvania with a combat mechanic of most soulslike games that is both unforgiving yet rewarding. Which is being terrorized by the frog clan who serves as the main antagonist of the story. Their land is scarred by an eternal struggle for peace and prosperity of their kin. The story follows Redgi, heir to the Rat throne. This reminds me of Valiant Hearts which is another beautifully hand-drawn 2D adventure. A new IP from Odd Bug Studio, Tails of Iron is a beautifully hand-drawn 2D RPG and it is shown on the details on both the characters and animation down to the environment.
