Few storytelling voices in this world are so talented and divine that your ears feel as if they’re basking in their rich, audible glory. Developed by Odd Bug Studio, Tails of Iron is an upcoming Soulslike RPG adventure with a touch of Redwall-esque macabre, and who better to narrate the grim, compelling story of the Rat Kingdom than the legendary Geralt of Rivia himself, Doug Cockle. The hand-drawn world of Tails of Iron is “deceivingly beautiful,” as Redgi must lead his kind to fight in a vicious struggle against the ruthless Frog Clan. This morbid tale will release on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC later in 2021.
“Our tail has begun…” — the Rats will need all the help they can get to defend their Kingdom. To survive against the onslaught of ferocious frog zombies and other savage swamp horrors, players will need to forge all manner of armor and weaponry and cook up a variety of meals to feed to their cause. In combat, players have to keep a close eye on their opponents’ movement and attack patterns to effectively defeat their fiendish foes in battle. Tails of Iron offers a vast array of deadly skills and abilities to dish out on the monsters that threaten the Kingdom.
Tails of Iron is gorgeously hand-crafted 2D in an exceptional art style. Playing as Redgi, you must travel across six distinct biomes that make up the vast and treacherous lands. But you can’t overcome the dangers of the wilderness on your own. Assemble a band of brave companions who will aid you on quests and missions. There will be punishing boss battles, so you’d best prepare with the powerful gear, fill your rodent belly with health-boosting feasts, and maintain a combat style that best suits the situation.
As mentioned earlier, Geralt (Doug Cockle) will be the one competently recounting this entire tale to you with his soothing, husky voice. Gamers are certainly in for a treat with this one, so be sure to wishlist Tails of Iron here.
