Tails of Iron 2 shows off new spellcasting feature
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch, Videos | 0 comments
United Label and Odd Bug Studio are offering up the latest look at Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter with a new trailer showing off the action RPG’s ‘Elementa’ spellcasting system. The team says this allows for greater combat options.
Lead designer Jack Bennett said: “We’ve been excitedly waiting to share the news for a while that spellcasting is coming to the Ratdom in Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter. Mastering the brutal combat of sword and spear against ferocious opposition is something fans of the original game were accustomed to, so for the follow-up we really wanted to introduce another layer of in-the-moment combat options for players to command and use against Arlo’s foes. The ‘Elementa’ magics of the gods, coupled with the addition of traps, gives players that extra layer to consider, and more.”
