25 Reasons You Shouldn’t Skip Tails of Iron


Welcome!

If you’re reading this, then clearly you already want to be convinced that Tails of Iron should absolutely be your next video game purchase. Let’s hope these 25 reasons help seal the deal! Bonus reason: it’s currently 25% OFF thanks to the Steam Autumn sale!



[h2]1 - 2,279 Reasons in One![/h2]

We’re not saying read them all, but if these 25 reasons don’t do the trick, then there’s another 2279 of them here, left by our amazing players! 91% positive is not to be sniffed at! Unlike this very tempting cheese…



[h2]2 - The Media Love it Too![/h2]

Not only did our players love the game, but our press reviews were particularly favoursome, too, with many 9s and 10s across the board!



[h2]3 - Enjoyed by Content Creators[/h2]

The likes of Ellajjaz, Sodapoppin, LIRIK, ForsenSplattercat, Perpetuumworld, Bob Lennon, and Alexelcapo have enjoyed it, plus many more!

[h2]4 - Extremely Ratisfying Gameplay![/h2]

That’s right, you play as a rat - possibly the most underappreciated animal ever! And just how many games do you get to do that in? Fun Fact: Rats are used to detect mines in abandoned minefields and as a result have saved thousands of lives.



[h2]5 - Save Rat Kingdom[/h2]

Look, the Rats need your help. Their peaceful Kingdom has been invaded by the merciless frog clan, while their loyal King has been slain. Can you really deny them your help?



[h2]6 - The Cockle Effect[/h2]

Doug Cockle, the legendary, world-renowned voice actor (and yes, he is the man behind a certain monster slayer we all know and love!) narrates the whole of Tails of Iron.



[h2]7 - Souls-like Inspired Combat[/h2]

Dodge, parry and bash your way to victory, before finishing your foe with an immensely satisfying execution.

[h2]8 - Explore a Treacherous Realm[/h2]

Prepare to embark on an epic adventure across the mediaeval-fantasy lands of Rat Kingdom. It’s an adventure you’ll not soon forget.

[h2]9 - Customise Your Attack[/h2]

Tails of Iron uses a weapon-based levelling system. You’ll discover no less than 189 different weapons and armours as you travel the land, with each offering its own pros and cons.

Which weapon style is your flavour?



[h2]10 - It’s Punny[/h2]

When your protagonist has a tail, whiskers and a full body of fur, there are bound to be a few cheesy puns here and there. You know you love ‘em really.

[h2]11 - Brew Tasty Recipes[/h2]

You may not be able to pet our hero (yeah sorry about that) but you can certainly feed him some hearty meals!

[h2]12 - Epic Bosses[/h2]

We’ve added 5 more bosses in our free expansion, Bloody Whiskers. However, there are tons more in the base storyline, each with its own attack patterns and visually pleasing executions!



[h2]13 - Alliteratively Awesome[/h2]

After playing Tails of Iron, some players may experience new talents and skills in RL.*



*We have no evidence to prove that Tails of Iron gifted this player with these skills. Regardless, we’re happy with the results!

[h2]14 - The Challenge You Want![/h2]

Introduced by the new expansion, you can run through Tails of Iron the way you want to, thanks to the new difficulty modesEnjoy the story in Fairy Tail mode, or experience a life-changing challenge in ‘Bloody Whiskers’ mode.

[h2]15 - Stunning Visuals[/h2]

We did a check-in on our reviews recently, and over 70% of them mentioned how much they loved the art style of Tails of Iron.
Can you see why?



[h2]16 - We’ve Even Got a Band[/h2]

The in-game bards of Tails of Iron are strewn across the land - brutal frog invasion or not - just to serve your royal eardrums! Can you really let them go unheard?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1792940/Tails_of_Iron_Soundtrack/

[h2]17 - You DON’T Need a High-end PC to Play![/h2]

We thought about you. And you. And yes, you too!
We didn’t want the hardware to limit who could and couldn’t play Tails of Iron, so we worked closely with our QA partners to ensure optimisation was at its very best and that the game would run as smooth as warm butter.


[h2]18 - Secrets of the Land[/h2]

Consider yourself an explorer? Well, in Tails of Iron you’ll get plenty of chances to excavate the land and discover the many secrets that lay in store. Perhaps you’ll even stumble across a subterranean community, very fond of neon lights. No spoilers...

[h2]19 - Equip the Best, but at What Cost?[/h2]

Adapt Redgi’s combat style to the task at hand. Heavy armour may provide better protection but can you really afford to slow down your dodge-roll?

It’s your tail at the end of the day...

[h2]20 - Lose Yourself in the Story[/h2]

Overcome your fears. Rescue your brothers. Restore Your Kingdom.

It’s your tail...

[h2]21 - FREE Content Updates![/h2]

We’ve delivered a couple of free updates since release, including the ‘Midnight Mischief’ DLC containing spooky Halloween skins. But more recently, we released the ‘Bloody Whiskers’ free expansion that introduces a whole new questline, 5 new bosses and a ton more!

[h2]22 - Craft Armours[/h2]

Not only do you get to select your armour preferences but you’ll get the opportunity to craft your very own armours, too. We’ve also added more armour with the last two updates, so we’re sure there’s an armour style out there that will suit you. (Armour, armour, armour…)

[h2]23 - Cute but Deadly![/h2]

It’s super cute, while also incredibly dark and gritty. It’s the perfect combo!

[h2]24 - Avenge the Late King[/h2]

Who wouldn't want to avenge this old fella?



[h2]25 - Every Rat In-Game was Real![/h2]

Yup, true story. From Dug to Redgi, and every rat in between, they’re all inspired by the real life rats of the dev team! Here’s a stylish image of the rat pack that inspired the core characters.



Phew! Only the mightiest of you have reached this far, and for that we applaud you. We could get granular, but we don’t want to let loose any spoilers before you enter Rat Kingdom. Once you’ve completed Tails of Iron reach out to us on social media or drop us a review to let us know what you thought.

All the best fellow rodents, and may your tail begin...

New Expansion, Bloody Whiskers, is FREE TO DOWNLOAD NOW!!

Greetings Royal Rodents,

It’s time to pop open the good bug juice! You know, the bottle you’ve been saving for just such an occasion. For today is a good day… yes, we’re talking a brand new, and more importantly, TOTALLY FREE, expansion to Tails of Iron. Oh, and better yet, for those yet to dip a claw in Rat Kingdom, you can currently get 25% OFF as part of the Steam Autumn Sale event!



With the tyrannical Greenwart now defeated (can I get a woop woop?), King Redgi’s vast lands chime with celebration. But the recently crowned saviour isn’t free to rest easy on his throne just yet. As decreed by an ancient Rat tradition, the new King must prove his worth… in a deadly trial of combat.

Defeat the most lethal warriors from across the land to claim the key to the old King’s room. But what heinous secret lurks within?

Check out the brand new trailer! Your tail continues…

So, what is Bloody Whiskers?


Tails of Iron now includes ‘Bloody Whiskers’: a free expansion which introduces a new post-game questline, two additional difficulty modes, five new bosses, a selection of special armours and weapons, and a secret that was perhaps better left forgotten…

[h3] - 5 New Bosses[/h3]
You only went and saved the whole of Rat Kingdom... from a mass frog invasion… single handedly. But apparently your royal subjects still aren’t quite 100% satisfied (there’s no rat in gratitude… oh wait).

Win them over once and for all in a deadly tournament, by defeating the fiercest and most lethal warriors from across the land! These 5 new boss fights arrive with their own uniquely challenging attacks and movesets - make them wish they were never conceived by our character artist!!



[h3] - Bloody Whiskers[/h3]
As requested by our players, Bloody Whiskers is Tails of Iron with a double shot of bug juice - a much more difficult experience, with even deadlier enemies.
Only recommended for those with the most iron of wills.

[h3] - Fairy Tail[/h3]
Also heavily requested, Fairy Tail mode is for those looking for a story first experience.
Recommended for players who want to immerse themselves in the rich world and narrative, without the hardships of warfare.

[h3] - 5 New Armour Sets[/h3]
Strike fear into your foes with the latest Rat Kingdom fashion statements! Flaunt your five new armour sets while you courageously cleanse the land of Greenwarts clan.



[h3] - 6 New Weapon Skins[/h3]
Yes, we’re talking even more pointy bits to play with. Accessorise your new garbs with these 6 deadly and very much striking implements.

[h3] - 3 New Achievements[/h3]
Cos, let’s face it, cleansing the land of the putrid pond scum wasn’t challenging enough already.

[h3] - Trading Cards Added[/h3]
You asked, and your King listened. Land-wide tax increase or not!

[h3] - 2 New Rooms[/h3]
It’s fascinating what one little padlock can do… and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading the numerous fan theories contemplating what indeed lies behind this now infamous door.

Claim the key to the old King’s room by defeating all four tournament bosses. But be warned, for some secrets are better left forgotten…
