Thankfully you will know when a boss is coming because you may see them lurking in the background. When taking on a boss it is paramount that you have the right tools for the job. It’s just learning these attacks which will take several attempts, and the bosses can be VERY challenging. You will get visual cues to indicate what kind of attack is coming. You don’t have much time to react neither. Combat reminded me a lot of some older games where you would have to learn enemies attack patterns and react accordingly. Each enemy will have its own attacks and you will have to familiarise yourself with them. Side quests are available from a public message board and are a great way of acquiring gold and new gear. As you play through and take on side quests you will come across many varying enemies. A moment of peace before all hell breaks looseĭuring your quest, you will visit four regions your home Crimson Keep, Long Tail Village, Mole Town, and Frog Village. Considering there is no text accompanying this, it is remarkably easy to understand what it is you have to do. This comes in the form of speech bubbles and pictures setting out your objectives. Although there is the narration that tells the game like a story, there is also a minimal amount of communication with NPCs. Only so much to say as they look so similar to Redgi, it’s easy to confuse who is who. On your quest, you will meet companions and you will have to battle many foes and a lot of bosses to battle to reclaim the land!Ĭompanions can be a great help in battle, but sometimes I found them the be a bit of a hindrance. But great leadership means to lead by example. For a new king, Redgi sure does seem to run a lot more errands than actually giving orders. Anyway, moving on.Īs the player, you take control of Redgi, and it’s down to you to rescue and rebuild the Rat Kingdom. Even just typing that, I had narrator Doug Cockle voicing it in my head. The survivors of the attack need leadership, and that unfortunate burden descends upon young Redgi, the heir to the throne.
With the kingdom annexed and the land in ruins, to add insult to injury, all of the brothers have been taken captive. Not only have they succeeded in their invasion, but they have also eliminated King Rattus the Saviour.
Greenwart and the unforgiving Frog Clan have invaded the kingdom once again. Trouble is afoot in the once peaceful Rat Kingdom. The rats were brothers as they are in the game and you can tell a lot of love has been put into making it. During development, they were always there to keep morale high and he wanted to make a game that highlighted the positive aspects of his rodent pals. Though the game may take some inspiration from games such as Hollow Knight and Monster Hunter, the biggest inspiration comes from Dan Robinson’s (Team Leader – Odd Bug Studio) pet rats who are sadly no longer with us. For the review, I played this on the PlayStation 5.
#Tails of iron achievements series#
Tails of Iron releases on September 17th, 2021 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. This is their second game following the success of the previous title The Lost Bear which is a PSVR exclusive released in 2017. Tails of Iron is an RPG adventure game published by United Label Games and developed by a small UK studio based in Manchester called Odd Bug Studio. Nevertheless, I remained undeterred and couldn’t wait to get into it. Just those words sent a shiver up my spine, as it has taken me many attempts over five years to get past the first boss in Bloodborne. The game arrived and the description said “punishingly brutal souls-like combat”. Lastly was how interesting the story sounded with the characters. You may know him as Geralt of Rivia (or RATvia now?) from The Witcher series. Secondly, the narrator kicked in and he happened to be the one and only Doug Cockle. Firstly was its unique 2D art style, it reminded me of medieval tapestries and I love the medieval era. Tails of Iron first appeared on my radar a couple of months ago and there were a few things that drew me to it initially.
