One of the best indie soulslike games is back with a frosty sequel

Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter

Embark upon a vast, snow-ravaged kingdom in Tails of Iron 2, sequel to the critically acclaimed action-RPG. As Arlo, heir to the Warden of the Wastes, adventure through harsh northern lands, home to giant beasts and ragtag bandits, in an epic quest to overcome an ancient, blood-starved evil.

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.
