Good fun short game! Good visuals. Good sound and music effects. Clunky combat system, charge attacks are close to useless as enemies will for sure hit you. Rolling sometimes puts you in dangerous spots or far away from enemies to attack instantly, making you waste time and stamina. Would make it a little bit better if you could modify the input for controller A game that does deserve its chance. Good and enjoyable.

Song of Iron, developed and published by Resting Relic, is a visually arresting side-scrolling action adventure that wears its atmosphere like armor. It opens with a moment of raw tragedy—a village reduced to ruin, a warrior burdened with loss, and a relic carried in trembling hands toward the gods. What follows is a journey soaked in vengeance, myth, and melancholy, set in a world inspired by Norse mythology and ancient warrior legend. The story unfolds without exposition or dialogue-heavy storytelling, relying instead on the movement of the camera, the rhythm of the gameplay, and the expressive use of light and shadow to draw the player into its somber world. It’s a tale told more through tone and texture than words, a world that feels both timeless and fragile, and that restraint gives it a haunting sense of weight and mystery. The gameplay in Song of Iron blends exploration, combat, and light platforming into a cohesive but challenging rhythm. You play as a lone warrior armed with axe, sword, bow, and shield, cutting a path through enemies that range from human raiders to shadowy beasts and supernatural entities. The mechanics are intentionally simple, emphasizing timing, stamina management, and positioning over complexity. The combat is heavy and deliberate—each swing of an axe feels substantial, every parry or dodge critical. Shields splinter, weapons clatter to the ground, and you are left scrambling to survive. There’s a satisfying sense of vulnerability that runs throughout the experience; the game never lets you forget that you’re just one mortal pushing against impossible odds. At the same time, occasional environmental puzzles and traversal segments punctuate the action, offering moments of quiet exploration between the bouts of desperate combat. Where Song of Iron truly stands out is in its presentation. The game’s world feels alive with elemental detail—embers drift through the air, mist curls across frozen forests, and distant mountains loom under storm-laden skies. The lighting, in particular, is striking; shafts of sunlight pierce through dense canopies, illuminating the battlefield in fleeting warmth before fading back into darkness. The art direction leans on minimalism, but every scene feels purposeful, crafted to evoke the loneliness and majesty of a mythic landscape. The soundtrack enhances this sense of immersion with a mix of atmospheric ambient tones and mournful melodies that echo the hero’s solitude. The sound design reinforces the brutality of each strike and the stillness between encounters, balancing the physicality of combat with the quiet desolation of the journey. However, beneath its beauty lies a foundation that sometimes struggles with refinement. The combat, while evocative, can feel clunky during crowded encounters or when the game’s physics react unpredictably. The stamina-based system, though intended to encourage tactical play, occasionally slows the action to a crawl, leaving players fighting against both their enemies and the controls. Some platforming sections lack precision, and environmental hazards can feel inconsistent in their execution. The brevity of the experience is another notable limitation. The game can be completed in just a few hours, and though it leaves a strong impression, it also leaves behind the sense that it could have done more with its ideas. The narrative, too, suffers slightly from its minimalism. The silence and ambiguity that lend the game its atmosphere can also make its story feel underdeveloped, especially when the ending arrives with little resolution beyond thematic symbolism. Despite its flaws, Song of Iron’s ambition is undeniable. It’s the kind of project that thrives on vision rather than scale, using its limitations to deliver an experience that feels personal rather than manufactured. It channels the spirit of myth not through lore-heavy storytelling but through the emotional language of struggle and perseverance. Each level feels like a pilgrimage, a physical embodiment of grief and determination. The protagonist’s silence becomes part of the story—his exhaustion, his rage, his fleeting glimpses of the divine all expressed through motion and momentum. There’s a cinematic quality to the game’s pacing and direction that reveals the developer’s passion for storytelling through visuals rather than exposition. Even when its mechanics falter, its heart remains visible in every frame. Song of Iron’s greatest achievement is how it conveys scale and grandeur with minimal resources. It feels intimate yet vast, like a single myth carved from stone and told in whispers. The use of lighting and weather effects transforms its world into a canvas of emotion, where fire, fog, and snow become metaphors for struggle and endurance. It’s easy to forget that this is largely the work of a single developer; the craftsmanship and ambition on display rival that of much larger studios. And while its flaws keep it from reaching its full potential, its sense of identity and purpose elevate it beyond the ordinary. The game’s closing moments, as the hero faces both gods and fate, feel earned—a conclusion that resonates with the same quiet power that defines the entire experience. Ultimately, Song of Iron is a work of passion and atmosphere, a small game that dares to tell a big story through silence, imagery, and the slow grind of survival. It’s not a polished or expansive epic, but rather an evocative glimpse into a mythic world where beauty and brutality coexist. Its flaws—short length, uneven combat, and sparse narrative—are outweighed by its sincerity and artistry. For players who appreciate moody, cinematic adventures that prioritize tone and emotion over mechanical complexity, Song of Iron offers a journey worth taking. It’s a dark, intimate odyssey that lingers not because of its scale or depth, but because of how deeply it believes in its own myth. Rating: 7/10

Terminei o Jogo achei que valeu meu tempo, não é um jogo complexo, não tem que se preocupar com inventário, evolução ou exploração. Bom visual é incrível que o jogo seja feito por uma única pessoa.

Too short, average gameplay, had one crippling bug (character got stuck in geometry after saving, had to redo from scratch). I was not expecting that twist before the final scenario, lol.
