The upcoming RPG adventure from indie devs Odd Bug Studio, Tails of Iron, got a release date and a new trailer today. The latter, narrated by Doug Cockle (Geralt of Rivia, The Witcher), gives a glimpse for the first time of the game's combat which is said to be punishingly souls-like.

​

Created by indie development team Odd Bug Studio and published by United Label, Tails of Iron takes players on an epic adventure as Redgi, heir of the Rat Throne. When ferocious frogs invade, Redgi must fight back to save his crumbling kingdom. Endearing companions, intricate combat and customizable gear adorn the compelling story, set in an immersive and explorable lovingly-crafted 2D hand-drawn world.

Key features of the game include:

• Brutal combat, inspired by the souls-like genre, featuring dodge-rolls, parry bashes, and fatal executions;
• A vast and treacherous Kingdom, comprising six distinct biomes, each with its own hidden paths and secrets;
• A compelling story, narrated by the deep, raspy vocals of the legendary Doug Cockle;
• Customizable attack styles with a vast array of distinct weapons and armor;
• A range of side quests offering players additional gold-on-the-side;
• Hidden blueprints to forge new and powerful weapons;
• Savage boss fights against the Frog Clan’s deadly, oversized generals;
• A gorgeous and lovingly-crafted 2D hand-drawn art style.

Tails of Iron is set to launch on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC on September 17.

that art style and gameplay aren't really a common combination and it's what intrigued me the most

Between this, Death's Door, and others, looks like the recent trend is filling soulslike and roguelike games with anthropomorphic animals. Not to speak ill of it though...I'm happy with whatever keeps new games in these genres coming.
