Song of Iron 2

Mechanics

Song of Iron 2 is a side-scroller. The game features many different locations we can sail between. We must be on guard, as enemies lurk everywhere. These include hostile vikings, futuristic imperial soldiers and mythological monsters.

We can engage them in melee, with our axe and shield, or at a distance, with our bow. The player must stay mobile, blocking enemy hits, evading them and countering. As we progress through the game, we upgrade our Viking, gaining new skills useful while exploring and fighting (some also let us reach previously inaccessible areas, encouraging backtracking).

Technical aspects

Song of Iron 2 features high-quality 2.5D visuals, retaining the original game's artstyle. The realistic character animations may be especially appealing.
