Tails of Iron Review - The Final Verdict
1,378Tails of Iron never quite falls flat on its face. It’s a functional and serviceable addition to it’s genre that gives players a well-realized world to experience and can provide some meaningful challenge all while running respectably well. But with it’s somewhat wooden combat being the centerpiece, garnished with generic platforming and small handful of other slip-ups, it can sometimes be too much for it’s glimmers of inventiveness to overcome.
The game’s friendly price and obvious triumphs in art style and music might be enough for some to see it through, but as far as side-scrolling action RPG’s go, there are just too many other ones that do much better what Tails of Iron is aiming at for me to recommend it broadly. You can certainly tell that there’s a lot of heart behind the game’s general concept, and I’m always down for a dark rodent-themed adventure. But the fact that almost none of the game’s ideas ever reach any notable heights, creates an unfortunately low ceiling for the overall experience.
