Now a king without a kingdom, it is the player’s task to guide Redgi on a perilous quest to rescue his abducted brothers, rebuild and rehouse his fallen people and, finally, tread the grim, well-worn path of vengeance to the lair of the Frog Clan and its disgusting leader, Greenwart. It soon becomes apparent that for all of its adorability and quaint storybook appearance, Tails of Iron will adhere to the dark, medieval tone of its older, Souls-like brethren. While no one would deny the inherent cuteness of its rodent cast and their lovely little kingdom violence, death, and destruction are swiftly visited upon young prince Redgi and his people - the merciless Frog Clan striking fast and hard while the city has its guard down. Tails of Iron establishes its mood in its earliest minutes. Tails of Iron (PS5, PS4, Xbox, PC, Nintendo Switch) So cut yourself a chunk of the finest cheese (not my writing) and let’s take a look at this regal rodent saga. With a beady-eyed cast of characters both stylized and named after the team’s own, dearly departed rodent pals, the furry friends get to live again in this somber-looking, yet strangely beguiling, fantasy adventure. Inspired by fantasy fiction of yesteryear and pad-snappingly tough examples from the “Souls-like” genre, the British developer’s new release - only its second video game to date - hopes to capture the same murky worlds, engaging characters, and tense, hyper-combative gameplay of its contemporaries, transitioned to an anthropomorphic storybook universe. So begins Tails of Iron, a brand new action-RPG from indie outfit Odd Bug Studios.
It certainly is the most ignoble of starts to Redgi’s reign, but while the scaly marauders surely brought unheard catastrophe to the Rat Kingdom, they made one mistake, they left our young king’s heart still beating… The Frog Clan had made their presence felt, effectively and with callous disregard for the life of the innocent. His father slain, his kingdom in aflame, his family missing, and his people in panic. Having only been King nary a minute, Redgi already lies, broken and alone, under the blood and mud-stained bodies of his own people.
