    I won a lot from this game and it had a really good fighting system. An interesting and simple story. I highly recommend this game for those who like action and sword games.

    Excelente direção de arte. Mecânicas sólidas e fáceis de serem aplicadas durante a gameplay. Uma história simples, porém muito bem narrada e que cativa muito o jogador. Visual maneiro.

Tem até cenas de finalizações nas boss fights! Tudo isso acabou me conquistando. E um jogo viciante e um dos melhores indie games que joguei em 2021. Durante minha gameplay inicial (primeiras 3 horas) não me deparei com nenhum bug ou crash, jogando no PC. RECOMENDADO!… Expand

    Indie game 'Tails of Iron' finds its inspiration in the souls genre. It features great combat with dodge rolling, parrying, and executions. 

    Combat is tough with a range of enemies and a bunch of bosses - 20 boss fights in total. There are lots of weapons and armor sets to find, or blueprints to find so you can craft weapons and armor.

    Combat is tough with a range of enemies and a bunch of bosses - 20 boss fights in total.

    There are lots of weapons and armor sets to find, or blueprints to find so you can craft weapons and armor. Play with light, medium, or heavy armor, or spears, swords, axes and so on. There's a combo to fit your playstyle.

    The main hero you play is Redgi the rat, a character on a quest to become King and save the Kingdom. He's loveable and easy to get attached to.

    Story is pretty engaging too, partly because the main hero is fun, but also thanks to the narration by the voice of Geralt from The Witcher. And enemies have hilarious names too, which helps make you take notice of them and therefore engage more with the gameplay.

    Game time is 10-15 hours depending on how much you rush or take your time, or how difficult you find the combat. I played for 20+ hours to gain all achievements and master the combat to beat the whole game flawlessly. Loved every second of it.

    On PC I didn't experience a single bug (no pun intended since there are literal bugs to fight in the game). It ran beautifully in 4K and I never had a single hiccup in all my time playing.

    In my opinion this is one of the best indie games of 2021, hands down. Also one of the best games of its type too. I highly recommend it.    … Expand

    Es un gran juego, con una diseño artístico muy cuidado un sistema de combate simple de entender pero difícil de dominar que brilla especialmente cuando toca pelear con jefes los cuales cambian sus patrones de ataques a medida que van perdiendo salud. También es un juego muy exigente y frustrante que lastimosamente hace que no sea para todo el mundo.

También es un juego muy exigente y frustrante que lastimosamente hace que no sea para todo el mundo. En cuanto a la música solo puedo decir que cumple con creces y los escenarios suelen ser pastillero pero tienen cierto black tracking a medida que consigues ciertas herramientas. Por último resaltar que su duración me parece la justa ya que si se alargará fuera muy repetitivo. Si está en descuento es sin duda que no debería dejar de pasar nadie que le guste los juegos soulslike.… Expand

    If fun challenging with mildly soul-liked combat is your desired, it’s your game absolutely.

    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.
