Tails of Iron is kind of a chill soulsborne influenced side-scrolling action game.
The story is simple, but effective. The dialogue does basically boil down to characters showing 2 or 3 icons (out of about 10) in a speech bubble and Geralt of Rivia translating it for the player. Probably could’ve done without the speech bubbles in my opinion. There’s also a quite a bit of mandatory side quests and constant backtracking, which only exists to drag out the gameplay and is pretty annoying.
The combat is a simplified version of soulsborne games modified for a 2-D plane. It’s mostly fun, but can get a bit repetitive after a while. My biggest gripe is that enemies can take forever to shuffle themselves into combat.
If you’re wanting to get into the soulsborne genre, I think Tails of Iron is a good first step to ease you into it.
