This I didn't personally mind as images are displayed in speech bubbles during conversation and this makes it easy to depict what is said. Interestingly, there is no dialogue here besides Cockle's occasional lines of narration, and the creatures you interact with simply make high-pitched whistles. The story sees you try to rebuild your empire once more and track down two of your missing brothers (a cook and a blacksmith) that disappeared at the time of the attack. Regi's first few moments on the throne aren't as glorious as perhaps anticipated, as his people are slaughtered by an attacking army of frog soldiers and his kingdom is reduced to nothing but rubble. Narrated by Doug Cockle (Geralt of Rivia), Tails of Iron puts you in the shoes of rodent royalty, as you play as Regi, a rat king that is now thirsty for revenge. The game features a gorgeous storybook-inspired visual style and it makes some interesting tweaks to the Souls formula with it taking place from a 2D perspective. Tails of Iron, however, is a stylish Souls-like developed by Odd Bug Studio that puts these misunderstood creatures on centre stage.

Tails of Iron will be much up their alley. But for the few, brave souls who dare love a challenge. If you can’t handle hard game, you might want to avoid this. It all feels great, and they all end up feeling like a win your truly earned. Learning how fights work, learning your abilities, learning openings. Much like the main story beats, these can be rather difficult. I’d say they’re most definitely worth your time for more background info, equipment, and all of that good stuff. It depends on weather or not you can or want to though, as each has their own weight in addition to strength or defense. Would it be appropriate or accurate to compare this to the Souls games? The huge amount of customization of Redgi with equipment and weapons, the difficulty, the healing yellow drink? You can pick up a whole lot of stuff dropped from felled opponents.
Tails of Iron is a lot more violent and bloody than I expected, period. That doesn’t quite go as planned however, as the Frogs invade and I was greeted to what to me was a surprisingly gruesome death.
For him to prove his place as the next of throne. After a decent length tutorial in the castle, it’s finally time. Tails of Iron begins with a story on the warring Frogs and Rats, then it switches over to Redgi, the heir to the kingdom. At times it can come off as a pained speaking voice though, by how off note or forced some whistles are, which makes sense given the game. Instead, the characters speak by having a word bubble with an image, accompanied with woodwind instrument sounds.
There’s no voice acting outside of some narration after events.
Lots of cute rats, some big and fat, some small. That isn’t to say the game isn’t cute, because to an extent, it is. These were my first impressions of Tails of Iron. This is like Redwall, right? Oh god, this is really bloody. Oh this looks nice, an adventure game where you play as a rat. Published By: United Label Games, CI Games (physical)
