Tails of Iron

While the game has a beautiful art style, nice music and an interesting story, its combat system is kind of bad (and boring): Combat issues: 1. Dimmed colors when at low HP make it hard to see the attack indicator color, which is crucial — it's easy to mix up the red/yellow indicators as a result. 2. It's hard to tell the area of splash damage, for example with the frog in the mill. Basically this post: https://entertainium.co/2021/12/16/tails-of-iron-review/ 3. Enemy hitboxes are strange. Sometimes you get hit half a second after their weapon has already hit the ground. 4. Armor doesn't really work. Even with medium set you will still die in 2-3 hits from bugs. 5. Dark Souls might be hard sometimes, but there's always a way to "shave" a boss's HP by using a weak point or the environment. In this game, you just roll and hit until you die or win. It's rather boring. General issues: 1. In the throne room, an enemy got stuck behind an invisible wall after I pushed it with my shield. I was forced to die on purpose just to reset the checkpoint. 2. You pick up arrows long before you get the bow, so they're useless until then. It's a shame, I was really looking forward to play it.

I really wanted to like and recommend Tails of Iron, but I just couldn't get myself to finish the story and the game. The game is very special in its unique art style; the conversation bubbles are fun and cute; and there is an amazing and engaging narrator voice that adds a lot of soul to the story, but the shortcomings are irritating enough that I cannot overlook them to continue with the game. The game starts with a rather intriguing and engaging story: As one of the heirs to the throne of a kingdom, you wake up to challenge your favored brother to receive the inheritance of your father: the crown. Right when you do so, however, the frogs invade and kill your father and wreck down your kingdom. As the protagonist you are tasked to not only rescue the rest of your family but revive your kingdom and bring concord to fellow rats. All is good until the story progressively gets stale and the gameplay becomes repetitive and boring. You are given a lot of cumbersome side quests which are actually part of the main story that you need to play to progress (so I am confused as to why it is called side quest in the first place). And the story loses its value and curiosity because you have to run to many mundane tasks as the new-king and respond to many errands. Although this could be something unique to the story, as in being a servant-king to the people, it feels lazy story writing when this concept is overdone in the middle of the playthrough where the story is supposed to progress and unfold further. I know the story gets better eventually but I already lose interest in playing despite it being a rather short game. Trivial sidequests could have been less painful if there was an entertaining combat system, but I dont remember having any fun in its combat perhaps except the parry mechanic which doesnt get any more interesting later on. Going back and forth in the map (especially the sewers) can also be frustrating at times because of how clunky movements may prevent interacting with objects because of a mini overstep. I am saddened to write this as I believe the game and the story had a lot of potential, yet it feels wasted for the reasons above.

Ta'bueno en especial la historia principal, va a 40fps en mi poderosa maquina. Pero seguro que no tienes problemas

[b]Tails of Iron delivers a brutal, atmospheric action RPG experience with weighty combat and gorgeous hand-drawn art. Every clash feels deliberate, with heavy swings, well-timed parries, and satisfying executions giving combat a grounded, dangerous feel. The game demands patience and observation, especially during boss fights where enemy attack patterns must be carefully read and punished. Weapons all feel distinct enough to encourage experimentation, and the gritty violence adds impact to every encounter. However, while combat itself feels excellent, character movement and dodging can often feel clunky and unresponsive. Dodges lack fluidity and precision, occasionally making encounters feel more frustrating than challenging, especially during tighter fights where positioning is critical. Despite these frustrations, Tails of Iron succeeds through its atmosphere, presentation, and rewarding combat loop, creating a grim fairy tale world that remains memorable from beginning to end.[/b] [hr][/hr] [h2]🎮 Gameplay[/h2] 🔲 Excellent ✅ Good 🔲 Average 🔲 Poor 🔲 Staring at Walls is better [h2]🌄 Graphics[/h2] ✅ Beautiful 🔲 Good 🔲 Decent 🔲 Bad 🔲 Paint.exe [h2]🎵 Audio[/h2] 🔲 Eargasm 🔲 Amazing ✅ Good 🔲 Not too Bad 🔲 Bad [h2]📖 Story[/h2] 🔲 It will replace your life 🔲 Good ✅ Average 🔲 Text or Audio Floating Around 🔲 No story [h2]🛡️ Difficulty[/h2] ✅ Difficult 🔲 Easy to Learn / Hard to Master 🔲 Average 🔲 Easy 🔲 Just press "A" [h2]🔁 Replay-ability[/h2] 🔲 Infinitely replay-able 🔲 Many Times 🔲 A few times ✅ Maybe Once 🔲 No replay value [h2]⏳ Length[/h2] 🔲 To infinity and beyond 🔲 Very Long (50 to 150 hr) 🔲 Long (25 to 50 hr) ✅ Average (10 to 25 hr) 🔲 Short (4 to 10 hr) [h2]🖥️ Hardware Requirement (1440p / 75+ FPS)[/h2] 🔲 Ask NASA if they have a spare computer 🔲 Fast (RTX 4080 equivalent) 🔲 Decent (RTX 2080 equivalent) ✅ Potato (GTX 980 equivalent) 🔲 Check if you can run paint [h2]🪲 Bugs[/h2] ✅ Never heard of 🔲 Minor bugs 🔲 Can get annoying 🔲 Game-breaking bugs 🔲 The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs [h2]💸 Value for price[/h2] 🔲 It’s free! ✅ Worth the price 🔲 Minor sale (<30%) 🔲 Major sale (>70%) 🔲 You could also just burn your money [h2]📝 Rating[/h2] 🔲 10 🔲 9 ✅ 8 🔲 7 🔲 6 🔲 5 🔲 4 🔲 3 🔲 2 🔲 1 [h3]👍 What works:[/h3] [list] [*]Weighty and satisfying combat system.

a Rhythm fighter with no Rhythm The enemies are suppose to telegraph their attacks so you can counter them, except they just keep spamming their attacks which feels like the game is bugged, I counter and dodge but only half of time does it registers. oh and enemies can stack on top of each other hiding each other and making it hard to read their telegraphs and they can be obscured by terrain. enemies keep spawning in making fights a mess and then there are friendlies who crowd the fight and are just visual clutter Health can be replenish with bug juice that is either plentiful or sparse There are saving spots which are either too many in an area making saving feel like a waste of time or too few in some others making it waste of time if you die back tracking and going through cutscenes and dialog Devs please just use a save button.

игра имба, все на высоте, но хитбоксы атак противников или хитбокс Рэджи огромны, что даже при уклонении атака задивает его и опрокидывает, а на тебя уже летит огромная туша, и все, конец, увернуться ты не можешь, так как встаешь полвека
