Description
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.

This is one journey you will never forget.

My best game to this day

And I don't expect it to be replaced anytime soon. This game made me feel emotions no other game had before, and if you can find a few hours (maybe 4) to play it in one session, then you should, it's worth it. Can be played with a keyboard, but having a controler will be much better.

Original, engaging and totally unique!

A great little game with a very engaging story, original gameplay and a unique way of controlling the main protagonists, the two brothers. I played this on my Nvidia SHIELD TV using the SHIELD controller and it played great. The controls are intuitive and feel really responsive. I have read that the game can also be played with mouse and keyboard but a controller is really recommended if you want the best experience. I was surprised at how engaging the story was without any sort of real dialogue or narrative. The journey is quite emotional and the music and especially the sound design add a lot to the overall atmosphere of the game. Though it's only 3 hours long, the length of the game feels about right. It's also a very nice looking game with beautiful rendered backgrounds and fluid animations. The locations you visit are very diverse and the game never feels dull or repetitive because of this. All in all this is a game that everyone should give a try. It's a great testament of what a small group of talented designers can do. Be sure to pick it up, it's well worth it.

I Really didn't like it

I am not sure why... but I genuinly didn't like this game. I am a big fan of narrative game or environmental story driven game. But this one... I found it boring. Interesting gameplay idea... but nothing more than a gimmick (left thumb and right thumb controlling two separate characters)... i found the game to be very easy and not very interesting. IMHO.

Amazing story, less a game

I absolutely love the tale told by the Brothers. Even though all of the puzzles are easy and it doesn't take long to complete the game it is worth trying. After the initial stages you can feel the climate of this universum and it drags you in. I'd give 5/5 but I miss the complexity similar to Syberia series. It deserves strong 4 though.

Wanna buy it? Get a gamepad too!

This game is just a waste of money and thankfully I bought it on sales. Forget the mouse and keyboard, because it is not the way you have to play this game: you MUST own a gamepad to play in a decent way. Controls with keyboard and mouse are horrible, you must control the brothers with WASD keys and arrow keys together: it's frustrating in certain moments. I played for less than 10 minutes, then I pressed alt-F4.
