Tails of Iron

Tails of Iron es una joyita oculta, vi por internet que era muy bueno, y la verdad es que no les faltón razón. El apartado artístico es sobresaliente, el estilo visual en 2D simula un teatro de marionetas oscuro y detallado. Cada escenario desborda personalidad. El combate se siente increíblemente pesado pero satisfactorio. Cada esquiva, parry y estocada cuenta, no es un hack and slash machacabotones. Es un juego de ritmo, reflejos y paciencia. Tienes que aprender a leer los ataques de los enemigos. Si te gustan los retos, las ranas antropomórficas con sed de sangre y las historias de venganza monárquica, compralo sin dudar. :D

Story is fun and narrated well. I would say the game is a positive and worth a few bucks on sale, just do the story mode if you are a completion type person. The last achievement will be impossible for most to get, pretty much beating one of the later bosses on hardest difficulty. Downvote is for the forced dodged and parry mechanic. There are some attacks that must be dodged or parried. This is not a proper I-frames game. The combat also favors allowing enemy sequence attacks over the player's. Some fights feel fair and fun to learn. Other fights are just ridiculous. What's really frustrating is the game trains you by giving you visual queues to dodge or parry based on a color sequence. The problem is that near the end all the enemy's have different times you should be pressing the button based on the queue. Your muscle memory will kick in and screw you over making it so you are dodge or parrying at the wrong time. I was thinking the game was more positive than negative until I got to one of the later arena fights. There is a opponent who's attack sequence and openings is horrendous. I am playing on normal and there are some fights that sucked but this one is borderline unbeatable. Also enemies have true I frames and their openings that you think that you can hit them they are still invincible. It's insanely frustrating. This doesn't show up until the back half of the game. There is one more mechanic that drives me nuts. Character speed changes based on if you have no weapon out, one handed, or two handed. Swapping in and out of weapons is almost instant. But to succeed is some fights it is literally based on if you can hit the put weapon away button quick enough so you can move around quick enough to get a hit in or be positioned to not get hit. This mechanic alone is horrible, my speed should be constant based on character weight. Terrible mechanic. Quite a few of my hours in this game are idle, it's probably 10-15 hours of content at most.
