The combat is very hard, but only because the game wants you to dance to its rhythm, not yours, and the odd way in which there are no words, just noises and pictures to depict interactions between characters doesn’t allow the player to become invested in each character’s cause. However, with stunning graphics, fantastic audio, and a mostly fair combat system that rewards you for playing to its tune with a huge dose of satisfaction, it really does draw the player back time and time again to keep playing.
The quality of this game from such a brilliant and talented bunch of developers shines through. Tails of Iron is a wonderful example of why you should always consider purchasing Indie developed games before looking at the bigger AAA blockbusters.
