    Song of Iron offers us a fascinating and cinematic world, capable of effectively evoking the world of the Vikings and their mythology, but it counter-balances this with some technical issues and a bit too rough combat system, making the experience inconsistent and frustrating at times. I would however still recommend it, primarily to enthusiasts of Norse culture.

    Made in Unreal Engine by a single man, Song of Iron is a product that thrives on light and shadow, a certainly remarkable accomplishment that however failed to fully satisfy us on the playful front. Fans of adventures steeped in Norse mythology and out-of-the-box twists would do well to give it a chance - especially if at a discount - but those who expected a more complex and refined experience in terms of platforming and combat system would do well to weigh with attention to the critical issues of the game. Having said that, we hope that Joe Winter and his Resting Relic can follow up on Song of Iron and this time with some extra help, so as to fully exploit the potential of the ideas behind the progenitor.

    Song of Iron is a game that has bet everything on its visual section, and although it is true that the result here is outstanding, it is not enough to support a game that is far from being enjoyable in its gameplay experience.

    Like other people say this game looks great and has an interesting way of telling its story and your discovery. Also its made by one personLike other people say this game looks great and has an interesting way of telling its story and your discovery. Also its made by one person which is really incredible to see. But the biggest let down is the combat, the controls are super flooty and you hit insanely slow. Also the enemies do not seem to have really tactics into killing them its just mindless block and hit. The reason this is a problem is because in the trailer everything looked super satisfying into throwing your weapons to just blocking and hitting. In the game itself everything feels kinda off.

    But the game is around 3 hours long so its not a big deal and it does not ruin your experience. pretty solid game after all.    … Full Review »

    Bad translation. Lots of bugs. Poor control (which you get used to, but still). But damn it, a gorgeous soundtrack, stunning stylish graphics,Bad translation. Lots of bugs. Poor control (which you get used to, but still). But damn it, a gorgeous soundtrack, stunning stylish graphics, a great atmosphere atones for all sins! After all, the game was made by one person, and considering this, the game is really cool! I am really pleased with the passage of this little masterpiece.… Full Review »
