    Imagine Salt and Sanctuary but with really simplistic equipment, no character customization, and clunkier combat. Enemies do an absolutely insane amount of damage and armor is almost pointless. It looks cool, but is more style than substance.

    I am not a fan of rats, platformers, soul games, but this is a very beautiful story, diluted with a fairy tale story about the king of rats, the boss system is interesting, but the game is for once, there is no desire to play the second time, play is linear, there is nothing to explore in it.

    I have to say, I don't often play games like ToI. I don't mean souls-likes, or RPGs or Indie Games. I mean games that I excitedly yell at people about. Tails of Iron wasn't a transcended experience, it won't revolutionize the gaming industry or anything. It is, however, a well-designed, fun and charming game. It's something I simply need you to experience, and if it can make me feel that way, it deserves some praise.

    Superb visuals, distinctive atmosphere and a punishing Dark Souls-inspired combat system resulted in an engaging action RPG and one of the best indie games I played in 2021. [12/2021, p.42]

    Although Tails of Iron is made with care, exploration and player freedom could be emphasized much more. Thrilling combat, meagre optional content and some simplified quests strewn over a small gameworld comprise a game of contradictions. We hope it is successful enough so that we can see a more ambitious sequel at some point.
