    Although the atmosphere of the game and Norse mythology are intriguing, the character animations and combat mechanics are not fluid and do not provide enjoyment while playing. It fell below mediocrity in its current state and turned into a disappointment for me.

    Song of Iron doesn’t offer a unique story or fresh gameplay mechanics, but it is still memorable for its great art direction inspired by Norse mythology. I was very impressed by how consciously the developer makes use of light, shadows and perspective. During the 5-6 hours long adventure you will slay hundreds of enemies and while the combat system is well-executed, the game’s intensity can be a bit tiring. [11/2021, p.52]

    Song of Iron starts off as a promising minimalistic Viking adventure, before running out of steam and dipping in quality the longer you play - which isn't long, thus also putting its asking price into question.

    Song of Iron is a short journey that struggles to keep us entertained, but in the end, it has some qualities that signify the potential that its lone creature has for creating better experiences in the future.
