Brutal souls-like combat, a treacherous kingdom to explore and a variety of attack styles to enjoy. There’s immediately much to love/hate about Tails of Iron. Throw in the fact that you get to play as Redgi the Rat though and it becomes all the more appealing.
Available to purchase and download right now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC, Tails of Iron from Odd Bug Studio and United Label is a gorgeously crafted souls-like affair, one in which you’ll join the rat pack as they look to restore a broken kingdom, taking down the Frog Clan in the process.
