About Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons
Guide two brothers through a fairy tale adventure where you control both simultaneously using each thumbstick, solving puzzles and battling bosses in a unique single-player co-op experience. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Josef Fares, this emotional journey challenges you to balance each brother's distinct strengths and weaknesses as they quest to save their dying father.
Control both brothers at once as you experience co-op play in single player mode, like never before.
Solve puzzles, explore the varied locations and fight boss battles, controlling one brother with each thumbstick.
A man, clinging to life. His two sons, desperate to cure their ailing father, are left with but one option. They must set out upon a journey to find and bring back the "Water of Life" as they come to rely on one another to survive. One must be strong where the other is weak, brave where the other is fearful, they must be... Brothers.
This is one journey you will never forget.
What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise Brothers as a touching, innovative adventure with beautiful storytelling told entirely without dialogue, complemented by stunning art style and memorable music. The dual-character control mechanic that lets you operate both brothers simultaneously is frequently cited as clever and emotionally resonant, though some find the controls clunky. Most agree it's a short but magical experience with well-designed puzzles, though completionists may need a guide to find all achievements.
i thought this game was innovative at the time it was released but it is simple good co op game for your left and right hand
An enchanting piece of interactive storytelling of family framed with mythology. The puzzles all feel unique and varied, with some being a bit more more tricky than others. My only complaint would be the clunky controls. If you want to get all of the achievements, have a guide available or you might very well miss every single one.
Short and sweet adventure game with some puzzle solving. Tells a super touching story without a single line of dialogue, and the bit of controlling two characters at once is used to it's fullest without getting old. Great score and stunning artstyle, I struggle to think of anything to criticize.
[b]Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons[/b] might just be one of the most magical experiences I've ever had. The worldbuilding is subtle and well-accomplished, leaning towards showing you the world rather than telling you. From the music, to its aesthetics, this story is one of love and resilience, whimsy and moments of wonder; and while the dual-controlling of the brothers might take some getting used to, but by the very end it will drive you to tears. [b]A masterpiece[/b].
Story - Awesome Graphic / Artsyle - PS3 unique Gameplay - Great Sound - Alright , fake language is an acquired taste though Playtime - Complete with my total playtime Runs better than the remake Buy on sale
Without a doubt, Josef Fares' best game to date, and he's had his fair share of good ones. I can't even imagine playing this when it originally released. It feels so ahead of its time in so many ways.
