About

Guide two brothers on an epic fairy tale journey from visionary Swedish film director, Josef Fares and top-tier developer Starbreeze Studios. 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.

    Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a port of the beautiful story-based 3D adventure game where we lead two brothers on a perilous quest full of hardships and physics-based challenges to find a cure for their ill father.

    My suggestion would be to invest in something a lot more engaging and more extensive like Unravel 2 or Overcooked 2 to satisfy your couch co-op desires. It pains me to say that the implemented co-op feature has defeated the whole purpose of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and it should have been left how it was — in the past and untouched.

    The Controls sometimes Work really Bad. (e.g. your Charakter has to climb Up a Rope but He doesn't do that. After many tries He will finally Take the Rope) But the Game is good.
