    Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter makes up for it with its impressive combat, detailed visuals, interesting medieval fantasy with animals and a narrative that heightens the atmosphere. However, the game fails to build on the achievements of its predecessor and suffers from superficial systems, bland level design, unnecessary backtracking and repetitive and unbalanced fights. The new epic of the rat kingdom may please with what it has good, but it will not impress those who played the first one.

    Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter is a continuist proposal that is still able to stand out with great charm and personality. A tribute to fantasy classics and a story of revenge seasoned with humor, tragedy and little animals everywhere.

    The developers of Tails of Iron 2 certainly played it safe with the sequel. The additions, such as the hook, feel underdeveloped, and overall, it could simply be described as ‘more of the same.’ Nevertheless, anyone who enjoyed battling the frogs will likely have a good time fighting the army of bats, as the game still offers tight combat and a well-balanced challenge.

    Overall, you have a game that doubles down on what fans loved about Tails of Iron while expanding in smart ways. There are some rough edges, but it's ultimately a superior sequel and a fun, challenging adventure.

    I was more excited than a mouse starting on a cheese-dinner to finally play Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter, particularly after I had such a great time with the original game, but this sequel left me underwhelmed. Sure, the same gorgeous world to explore and brutal combat to endure is present and correct, but it is bogged down by poorly implemented and unnecessary new gameplay mechanics hold it back.

    A promising set-up and gorgeous art direction aren't enough to mask the shortcomings of Odd Bug Studio's sequel.
