Bright Fir Forest - Free Expansion

 

Tails of Iron now includes ‘Bright Fir Forest’, a second free expansion that continues Redgi’s regal journey. Featuring 13 new quests (four story quests and nine side quests) this end-game expansion takes the young Rat King to the Squirrels’ renowned Festival of Leaf Fall, adds three new challengers in the Mole Arena, further broadens character customisation with new weapons and armour, includes eight cosmetic upgrades for the Crimson Keep, and more. 

King of Frogkind, the maniacal Greenwart has been vanquished, but despite the joyous celebrations in the forest, a new amphibious menace may be about to bubble through the pond scum… can Redgi overcome the emerging threat and be back in time to enjoy an acorn cup of Bright Sap under the luscious green canopies of Bright Fir? 

Your tail continues…
 

Bloody Whiskers - Free Expansion

 

Tails of Iron now includes ‘Bloody Whiskers’: a free expansion which introduces a new post-game questline, two additional difficulty modes, five new bosses, a selection of special armours and weapons, and a secret that was perhaps better left forgotten… 

With the tyrannical Greenwart now defeated, King Redgi’s vast lands chime with celebration. But the recently crowned saviour isn’t free to rest easy on his throne just yet. As decreed by an ancient Rat tradition, the new King must prove his worth… in a deadly trial of combat. 

Defeat the most lethal warriors from across the land to claim the key to the old King’s room. But what heinous secret lurks within? 

Your tail continues…


 

Set in a grim land plagued by war, Tails of Iron is a hand-drawn RPG Adventure with punishingly brutal combat. As Redgi, heir to the Rat Throne, you must restore your broken Kingdom by banishing the merciless Frog Clan and their ferocious leader, Greenwart. 

As you explore the deceivingly charming world, you’ll encounter a cast of unique companions, ready to aid you in your adventure. And you’ll need all the help you can get, whether that’s new meal recipes, blueprints to forge deadly weapons and armour, or even a land-chugging, armour-plated mole mobile! 

Overcome your fears. Rescue your brothers. Restore Your Kingdom. 

Your tail has begun…

Explore a Treacherous Kingdom


Fully accompanied by the deep, raspy narrations of the legendary Doug Cockle (celebrated within the world of RPGs), prepare to embark on an epic adventure across the mediaeval-fantasy Rat Kingdom. Complete side quests and faction hunts for some additional gold-on-the-side, or join forces with a sharp-eyed companion to help even the playing field. 

Master Brutal Combat


From frog zombies to gargantuan grubs - and everything in-between - the Kingdom is awash with danger. To overcome each perilous encounter, you’ll need to study your opponent’s attacks and react accordingly! Thankfully, there’s a range of deadly abilities at your disposal, including parry bashes and fatal executions, not to mention ranged attacks with your nifty bow and arrow. 

Customise your Attack


Adapt Redgi’s combat style to the task at hand. Heavy armour may provide better protection but can you really afford to slow down your dodge-roll? And then there’s the question of weapon; axes pack a punch, while spears are quick and nimble. Perhaps you’d prefer the all-round performance of a trusty broadsword? 

Overcome Savage Boss Fights


While danger lurks around every toadstool, you’ll need to keep your wits sharp and your blade sharper when it comes to the devastating boss fights. Cold-blooded in every sense of the word, these oversized amphibians each present their own unique combat challenge, and you’ll need more than a good set of armour to come out on top. 

Brew Recipes, Craft Weapons, Forge Armour


Redgi’s keep is also home to his brothers, Rem-Rem, Bam-Bam and Dug. Rem can cook up a health-boosting feast with ingredients found throughout the world, while Bam can craft new weapons and armors from special blueprints you’ll uncover… if you look hard enough. And then there’s Dug, who’ll update you about new quests available throughout the Kingdom. 

Features:


 

  • Master brutal combat, inspired by the souls-like genre, featuring dodge-rolls, parry bashes, and fatal executions! 
     
  • Explore a vast and treacherous Kingdom, comprising six distinct biomes, each with its own hidden paths and secrets 
     
  • Immerse yourself in a compelling story, narrated by the deep, raspy vocals of the legendary Doug Cockle 
     
  • Customise your attack style with a vast array of distinct weapons and armour 
     
  • Assemble a band of brave companions, ready to aid you on select missions 
     
  • Complete side quests to earn additional gold-on-the-side 
     
  • Unearth special blueprints to forge new and powerful weapons 
     
  • Collect rare ingredients to cook up health-boosting feasts 
     
  • Overcome savage boss fights against the Frog Clan’s deadly, oversized generals 
     
  • Lose yourself in the gorgeous and lovingly-crafted 2D hand-drawn art style.

Very pretty game

It's just a delight to look at this game's backgrounds and characters, you can really tell the artwork was made with love, the music is nice, and it plays nicely. The game does have a learning curve with getting used to the combat system, specifically to how time blocks and dodges and not get them mixed up, the enemies are well designed and the kills feel satisfying, the story is fun, and if grim, still hopeful, I really like these rats. If anything, the only thing I didn't like that much were the repetitive quests in the area of the Sewers, but apart from that, I really like this game.

Fairly hard, but fun

This game is a lot of fun, the rats are cute and the artwork is lovely. It's a joy to play. I did think at first that the boss fights were ridiculously hard, just about impossible, but once you know that you just need to work out what the enemy's set of moves is, how they indicate which one is coming next and what the strategy is to deal with each attack then things aren't so bad. You'll die lots of times before defeating a new boss, of course, and even once you know what you're doing the big fights are unforgiving of mistakes. But with a few hours of play under your belt the boss fights aren't too scary. I'm old and don't have the reflexes of a fly and I managed to get 100% completion on this game on normal difficulty. I've just started re-playing on "bloody whiskers" difficulty now and that's much harder. I'm not sure I'll finish the game on that setting but it will be fun to try. Although the combat is hard the 2D platforming is mercifully free from annoying traps, pointless obstacles and jumps requiring pixel-perfect positioning and split-second timing. My only criticism is that the instant you die during a boss fight the enemy's damage bar disappears, so you almost never know just how close you were to victory when you snuffed it. Highly recommended!

Worth it to play, slow advance.

Farming missions take all the fun away after such an intense start. It is a good game, though.

Clunky but satisfying

This game is very clunky feeling by design - the movement is sluggish and the combat relies a lot on reacting to tells with pretty strong telegraphs, especially starting out. One of the telegraphs is so poorly explained ingame that it almost feels broken. If you see a pink circle, roll away as far as you can. Contrary to the tutorial, these are not rollable or blockable; just get out of the way. If you don't get hung up on this, combat here can be a fun back and forth and very satisfying. The visuals are detailed and beautiful - all the enemies are also very expressive and react with proper animations to getting shield broken, overwhelmed, parried and the like. It looks very fluid and helps the combat feel satisfying. The game is heavy on narrative, but not heavy on dialogue. The rats basically communicate in pictures, which is unique. I think it has charm, but they also have their own "sim-lish" comprised of what I think are flute sounds. Those can get grating quick.
