Amid the many excellent 2D indie games that make use of soulslike exploration and combat, Odd Bug Studio’s Tails of Iron is one of my personal favorites. Its beautiful art design and satisfying combat – especially in its boss fights – puts it up there with the likes of Blasphemous 2, Hollow Knight, and Salt and Sanctuary. I’m very excited, then, by the news that Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter will see the series make a triumphant return to Steam, along with its iconic narrator Doug Cockle, best known as the VA behind The Witcher’s Geralt of Rivia and Bhaal in Baldur’s Gate 3.
