Tails of Iron
Description
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.

7.5/10
With its tough-but-fair combat, timeless storybook visuals, and unique furry fantasy, Tails of Iron is one of the year’s most distinctive RPG experiences. The intentionally subdued pace and challenging nature will definitely test the impatient, but anyone looking for a knuckle-cracking slugger, powered by a tale of valor and vengeance, will find Odd Bug Studio’s sophomore effort washes down like a fine flask of Bug Juice.

9/10
I've reviewed a fair whack of games so far in 2021 and Tails of Iron is easily the best of the bunch. Addictively deadly difficult combat, a wonderful game world to explore and a compelling story all add up to having a very good time indeed

Hidden gem
I was really reticent to try Tails of Iron (ToI), as it looked very similar to many of other side scrollers that are pouring onte the videogame scene nowadays. Ah, how much I was wrong. ToI is a mix of action, fighting, RPG and adventure. The RPG elements are provided by looting and forging better equipment. You need to balance weight and speed of movement with equipment effectivness. A simple but very effective mechanic. The atmoshpere and story are just amazing. The story is simple but quite unique at the same time. The narration is compelling and manage to hook you to the various NPCs you encounter in your adventures. Graphics and sounds... I will just say this: masterpiece. So, how is the gameplay? Perfect. The combat is challenging and you will die many times. But, never frustrating. It is very obvious when you make mistakes and so your learning opportunities are many and you do not feel cheated. The damages you receive are very well in line with what happens on screen. The game is very well designed and manage to communicate when attacks are lethal or scratches. A cleaver, and simple, icon system, provide indication if fthe attack is focus or an area of effect. Different weapons, armors and combat styles makes the whole experience dynamic and captivating. I've played a few hours and the game just flow great. Recommended.

SKAVEN PROPAGANDA
This is without a shadow of doubt Skaven propaganda! The gameplay is simple and fun, and this is an amazing souls-lilke. The rats are superbly drawn, as are the landscapes. The voice acting is great - the chittering and squeaking. I can only conclude that OddBug has been infiltrated by the Skaven.

Excellent.
Most importantly, it's fun. It's not too easy, have to actually figure out opponents, but once you do it's not so difficult as to be frustrating. The narration is top notch and gives the game a nice story feel.
