The Northern Wastes

The vast, unforgiving Northern Wastes serve as the backdrop for this epic tale. With six unique biomes ranging from frozen tundras to perilous swamplands, every step of Arlos journey is fraught with danger. These lands are as beautiful as they are deadly, hiding secrets, treasures, and challenges for those brave enough to explore.

A Fractured Kingdom

The world of Tails of Iron 2 is one of struggle and survival. The devastating Dark Wings have returned from myth, unleashing destruction along the Ratdoms northern frontier. It falls to Arlo, the hardened heir of the North, to unite the scattered clans and rally them under one banner. As the new Warden of Winters Edge, Arlo must rebuild not only his keep but also the trust of his people to stand against the returning darkness.

The Hunter and the Hunted

Monstrous beasts roam the Northern Wastes, threatening the lives of its residents. By accepting contracts from locals, Arlo can embark on hunts to take down these deadly creatures. Each of these challenges is a test of strength, strategy, and survival. The rewards? Rare materials to craft powerful equipment, glory to bolster Arlos legend, and the satisfaction of ridding the land of its greatest threats.

A Bastion Amid the Blizzard

Winters Edge, once a proud and mighty fortress, lies in ruins after the devastating assault of the Dark Wings. This ancient stronghold, nestled in the heart of the Northern Wastes, is the home that Arlo is sworn to protect and restore. Rebuilding Winters Edge is no easy task, but its vital to reclaiming the kingdoms former glory.

Weaponry and Armour

Victory in Tails of Iron 2 depends on preparation. Weapons and armour now come with elemental buffs and resistances, making tactical decision-making more important than ever. Enemies have specific weaknesses, and choosing the right tools for the job can mean the difference between survival and defeat. From the blacksmiths forge to the battlefield, Arlos arsenal is key to his success.

The Power of the Gods

Arlos journey introduces a game-changing feature: the Elementa magic system. Gifted by the ancient gods, Arlo can wield the devastating powers of: Electric : Call lightning from the heavens to stun multiple enemies. Fire : Launch searing flameblasts to incinerate foes. Ice : Unleash freezing gusts to stop enemies in their tracks. Poison : Inflict lingering damage to weaken entire groups of foes. These abilities can be upgraded throughout the game, adding layers of depth and strategy to combat. Mastering them is essential to defeating the strongest enemies and overcoming the harshest trials. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2473480/Tails_of_Iron_2_Whiskers_of_Winter?snr=2___ With launch day just around the corner, we cant wait for you to step into Arlos boots and take on the challenges of the frozen North. From mastering brutal combat to rebuilding a kingdom and forging new alliances, Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter promises an unforgettable adventure.

Your Feedback & Next steps

We were truly humbled to see so many of you dive into the demo during Junes Steam Next Fest. Your enthusiasm and support means everything to us, and weve been listening closely to your feedback. Many of you enjoyed the new gameplay mechanics we introduced, but there was one point that needed a little attention the weapon sharpening mechanic. Thanks to your invaluable feedback, were making the following adjustments to the game at launch:

• Whetstones will now act more like weapon buffs; when used, they will increase the weapon's damage output for a limited time, similar to the poison mechanic in the original Tails of Iron.
• Weapons will no longer dull, resulting in bounce back and the inability to hit enemies. This has been entirely removed.
• Managing the health of the whetstone is no longer a requirement.
• Whetstones are now purchasable at the shop and can also be found in the world and as an enemy drop.

We believe these changes will make for a more fluid and enjoyable experience, and were incredibly grateful for your input, which has been essential in refining the game. With these improvements, were looking forward to bringing you an adventure truly worthy of the Viking sagas of old! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2473480/Tails_of_Iron_2_Whiskers_of_Winter/ United Label: Twitter Instagram Facebook OddBugStudios: Twitter

Your Feedback Matters!

The Steam Next Fest was a great opportunity for us to hear your honest thoughts and feedback on our upcoming action-RPG, especially considering the new gameplay mechanics weve added, largely based on community responses to the original game. On the whole, were delighted to see an overwhelmingly positive reaction, with just one element - the weapon sharpening mechanic - seeming to need a little tweaking based on popular consensus. Having taken on board all of your feedback, were pleased to confirm that the whetstone sharpening will receive the following adjustments ahead of the full games launch later this year:

• Whetstones will now act more like weapon buffs; when used, they will increase the weapon's damage output for a limited time, similar to the poison mechanic in the original Tails of Iron.
• Weapons will no longer dull, resulting in bounce back and the inability to hit enemies. This has been entirely removed.
• Managing the health of the whetstone is no longer a requirement.
• Whetstones are now purchasable at the shop and can also be found in the world and as an enemy drop.

Greetings Ratkind,

Check out the never-before-seen gameplay from the upcoming action-RPG, Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter! Unveiled today during the ID@Xbox showcase, the trailer showcases the brutal combat and brand-new gameplay features, including beastly Giant Bosses marked for the hunt, a new grapple hook system that opens greater traversal and exploration options, and expanded base building. Take a look at the all-new Gameplay Reveal Trailer: [previewyoutube=D2mSqLCaS9I;full][/previewyoutube]

Tails of Iron 2: Whispers of Winter features:

Giant Monster Hunting Side Quests Unfortunately, or fortunately for those brave enough, there are a plethora of gigantic beasts to hunt down - each with their own distinct battle styles and challenges, requiring all your whit and battle prowess to overcome. However, if you choose to track and slay these beasts you will not go unrewarded for each foe you fell, you will be able to harvest the spoils of their carcasses for rare upgrade materials.
Grapple Hook With Tails of Iron 2 we wanted to make traveling feel more fluid, adding not only speed but verticality to the map, with the use of a grapple hook - but fret not, you will also find the grapple hook will come handy when performing final executions. Base building As you can see Winters Edge took a hit with the last attack from the Dark Wings, your task as the new Warden of the Wastes is to rebuild your settlement - doing so will allow access to an upgraded smithy, tastier meals at the kitchen, alongside a wider range of powerful traps from the shop!
We hope to see you in the Wastes soon, our loyal rodents! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2473480/Tails_of_Iron_2_Whiskers_of_Winter/ United Label: Twitter Instagram Facebook Reddit EnrightBeats: [url=https://www.instagram.com/enrightbeats/]Instagram
