“After finishing the base game + DLC on Standard mode and Bloody Whiskers mode, I can say the game is fun and overall a good experience, but only on Standard. On Standard difficulty, it’s probably one of the easiest…”
“Described as a 2D Souls-like, that's not exactly what Tails Of Iron is. It does, however, feature unforgiving combat and bosses you will need to observe and whose patterns you'll need to learn before you can defeat…”
“Tails of Iron is a very engaging action game that delivers around ten hours of stimulating and well-balanced gameplay. One of its strongest aspects is the freedom it gives players to approach combat in different ways.…”

“Fun at times but super clunky and feels a bit unfair. Seems you move too slow to dodge sometimes. But cute art and Geralt is great!”

“As of April 17th 2026, Very good game, looks like a small kid game but fights are demanding. Story is cool too. A tad short but still enjoyable. Runs flawlessly, didn't encounter a single bug during the whole playthrough”

— a player, Steam review · 53 hrs played“I ended up 100% completing Tails of Iron, all weapons, all armor, and I pushed through the hardest DLC difficulty (biggest mistake). My final in-game time was just a little over 11 hours, which honestly felt like the perfect length for the kind of game it is. Short, brutal, and…”
— a player, Steam review · 16 hrs played“This game is like a story book with pictures! About Redgi, one where you'd want your dad to read it to you before bed every night chapter by chapter. The Art is just so wonderful it makes me giggle like a child again! Outstanding game and a good story to go along with it! Combat…”
