OFFICIAL CROSSOVER - Lords of the Fallen x Tails of Iron 2


[h3]Greetings Loyal Rodents,[/h3]
In celebration of Steam Next Fest (play the Tails of Iron 2 demo NOW!), we’re delighted to announce an upcoming crossover between Lords of the Fallen and the equally dark, gritty and gruesome action-RPG, Tails of Iron 2, out later this year.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2473480/Tails_of_Iron_2_Whiskers_of_Winter?snr=2___

Sequel to the critically-acclaimed 2021 release, Tails of Iron 2 takes place in the vast, snow-ravaged lands of the Northern Wastes, home to giant beasts and ragtag bandits. As Arlo, heir to the late Warden of the North, prepare to embark on an epic adventure to overcome the tyrannical Count Kazak and his army of bewinged terrors.


Hidden throughout the world are pieces of a legendary sword and armour set, which you might just recognise. Black as night and burnished from battle, the fabled ensemble bears an ancient sigil. The sigil of… the Dark Crusader.

Featuring fast soulslike combat, epic boss battles, and brutal monster hunts, all set in an expansive RPG world, play the opening of Arlo’s epic saga now with the Steam Next fest demo!

This underrated indie Soulslike about rats is on sale for just $3

If you take the idea of Brian Jacques' beloved Redwall novels and imagine it processed through the swamp-obsessed mind of Dark Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki, you'd probably end up with something pretty close to Tails of Iron, Odd Bug Studio's 2021 violent 2D adventure game about a brutal war between rats and frogs. With Tails of Iron 2 due out later this year, the studio is offering the original game on Steam at its lowest price ever, so now's a great time to jump in and get caught up on the story so far.

TAILS OF IRON 2: WHISKERS OF WINTER ANNOUNCEMENT


[h3]Greetings all Ratkind,[/h3]
A great threat looms in the North, and all that stands in its way is one Rat, hardened by the harshest of environments. Set after the bloody conclusion of the original game, Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter sees Arlo, son of the Warden of the North, embark on a violent quest of ruthless revenge against the Dark Wings’ onslaught, while introducing new fearsome monster-hunting sidequests against gigantic beasts.

To aid in the pursuit of vengeance, Arlo can imbue his weapons with a range of new elemental effects and abilities, ensuring his success against the scum that plagues his lands. However, as a result of the chaos brought upon the North, Arlo must rebuild the Northern Garrison of Winter’s Edge with the use of the enhanced settlement mechanics. All the while, the region’s new protector must explore new and distinct areas of the frontier, home to a new cast of critters, some to ally with... others, to vanquish.

A new and violent ‘tail’ begins…

“We are delighted to finally announce our return to Ratdom with Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter, and start a new ‘tail’ of bloodshed and medieval revenge. We wanted to build upon what we achieved with the first instalment and create a game that was more than just a straightforward sequel,” said Jack Bennett, Co-founder and Lead Designer, Odd Bug Studio. “We took on board the incredible community feedback on the original game and set about crafting a more intense experience than its predecessor. The new gameplay mechanics, the addition of monster hunting sidequests, together with improved crafting and base building, all work together to make Arlo’s crusade in the northern wastelands even more epic than King Redgi’s.”
