Returning to the gorgeous yet brutal world of Tails of Iron was a blast thanks to some improvements that makes Whiskers of Winter a brilliant sequel that excels in what makes the series standout.
Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter is a thoroughly enjoyable Metroidvania with detailed action-RPG mechanics, that still offers challenging soulslike combat without feeling like a punishing ride on its easiest mode. On it’s normal and hard difficulties, the game offers a grind that will leave you feeling tested at best, and a crying mess at very worst.
Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter is a brutal tale that feels like it came straight out of a storybook.

Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter is Odd Bug Studio’s sequel to its 2021 dark fantasy action game, Tails of Iron. This follow-up fleshes out its spellbinding world filled with anthropomorphic animals with new locations, characters and foes while polishing up the gameplay and adding elemental magical abilities for new protagonist Arlo to utilise.

A new cast of characters and a change of setting make Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter welcoming to newcomers, while new gameplay features such as elemental spells freshen up the gameplay for returning players. Ultimately it's an improved sequel, and one that's every bit as charming as the original game.
Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter is a great sequel that is bigger and more punishing in the best way. The addition of elemental spells and a monster-hunting gameplay loop make the overall experience a huge improvement over its predecessor. However, the game has some issues that are hard to ignore. Due to the game's large focus on exploiting elemental weaknesses, it's hard to create a reliable build without having to constantly switch gear to accommodate the upcoming boss or biome. Additionally, the increased emphasis on enemies using elemental AoE attacks mixed with multiple enemies in some encounters can really make it difficult to focus on what's happening on screen. Still, Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter does enough stuff right to warrant its existence, and any fan of the first should definitely play it.
Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter is your classic sequel — a bigger, better game than the inaugural animal action RPG. Playing as a new character in a different part of the world, this follow-up builds on the groundwork laid by the original game, with bigger scope and deeper systems as you hunt down the bats that destroyed your home.
A promising set-up and gorgeous art direction aren't enough to mask the shortcomings of Odd Bug Studio's sequel.
Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter is a bigger sequel in every way and while some of these expansions are welcome the game often feels too drawn out for its own good. Pawkt reviews.
Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter builds on the solid foundation of its predecessor with a few interesting—but not groundbreaking—improvements and additions. The challenging yet rewarding combat remains a standout feature, though even the easiest difficulty and occasional unclear telegraphing might deter some players. Nevertheless, this sequel impresses with its dark tone, compelling story, and visually charming presentation. For fans of the original, this is an absolute must-play.
