Sometimes, even a small game can be greatly disappointing. It is true that we might have set the bar too high for Joe Winter’s first production. However, we are entitled to ask ourselves if the latter was not simply too ambitious. It doesn’t matter if the whole thing is too short or badly translated. Alas, it seems less forgivable to be confronted with a title that, by piling up references, never manages to be satisfactory in one of the genres it is inspired by. In other words, the developer of Resting Relic never seems to have the means to achieve his ambitions. This results in a game with flawed action phases, outdated platform sequences as well as empty and bland sceneries barely able to move us. We were hoping to see Song of Iron reach Valhalla. Unfortunately, it begins an irremediable fall into the depths of oblivion.
