Tails of Iron
Official Description (Ad Blurb)
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, youâll encounter a cast of unique companions, ready to aid you in your adventure. And youâll need all the help you can get, whether thatâs 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 begunâŠ## Master Brutal Combat
From frog zombies to gargantuan grubs - and everything in-between - the Kingdom is awash with danger. To overcome each perilous encounter, youâll need to study your opponentâs attacks and react accordingly! Thankfully, thereâs 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.
## 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.
## Customise your Attack
Adapt Redgiâs 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 thereâs the question of weapon; axes pack a punch, while spears are quick and nimble. Perhaps youâd prefer the all-round performance of a trusty broadsword?
## Overcome Savage Boss Fights
While danger lurks around every toadstool, youâll 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 youâll need more than a good set of armour to come out on top.
## Brew Recipes, Craft Weapons, Forge Armour
Redgiâs 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 youâll uncover⊠if you look hard enough. And then thereâs Dug, whoâll 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

The Good
Tail of Iron foi uma experiĂȘncia verdadeiramente incrĂvel. Em um cenĂĄrio de 2023 onde minha empolgação para zerar jogos estava minguando, este jogo me surpreendeu e reavivou minha paixĂŁo pelo mundo dos games.
O que mais se destaca em Tail of Iron Ă© sua campanha excepcionalmente bem elaborada. Cada momento da jornada Ă© uma peça habilmente entrelaçada no quebra-cabeça da histĂłria, mantendo-me completamente envolvido do inĂcio ao fim. A narrativa, rica e envolvente, me fez ansiar por descobrir mais sobre o mundo e seus personagens.
Além disso, o visual do jogo é deslumbrante. Cada cenårio é uma obra de arte, com detalhes minuciosos que me fizeram parar vårias vezes para admirar a paisagem. A direção de arte é simplesmente impecåvel, criando um ambiente visualmente cativante que complementa perfeitamente a narrativa.
Tail of Iron nĂŁo Ă© apenas um jogo para ser jogado, Ă© uma experiĂȘncia que cativa e inspira. Foi com esse jogo que minha jornada para zerar jogos recomeçou, e estou empolgado para ver o que o futuro reserva para mim nesse mundo maravilhoso que ele me apresentou.
The Bad
Apesar de toda a experiĂȘncia envolvente proporcionada por Tail of Iron, hĂĄ alguns aspectos que nĂŁo estiveram Ă altura das expectativas. A trilha sonora, por exemplo, foi, infelizmente, uma decepção. Ela se mostrou mediana, a ponto de eu mal lembrar de qualquer mĂșsica especĂfica do jogo. Em um tĂtulo que busca imergir os jogadores em sua atmosfera, a trilha sonora desempenha um papel crucial e, infelizmente, nĂŁo conseguiu me cativar como o resto do jogo.
Outro aspecto que deixou a desejar foi a jogabilidade. A forma como o personagem se movimenta muitas vezes se revelou incĂŽmoda, prejudicando a experiĂȘncia de jogo. A diversĂŁo, que Ă© um fator essencial em qualquer tĂtulo, foi afetada por esses problemas de jogabilidade, a ponto de eu atribuir uma nota de 6/10 nesse aspecto.
The Bottom Line
Apesar desses pontos negativos, a histĂłria bem construĂda e a direção de arte impressionante ainda tornam Tail of Iron uma jornada que vale a pena ser explorada. No entanto, Ă© importante estar ciente dessas limitaçÔes para ajustar as expectativas ao entrar neste mundo cativante.
