You can play either of the two brothers, which is used as a difficulty setting. You have a birds-eye map to place your traps during the day and at night, if the traps are placed well, you will have a reduced amount of enemies to fight with your slow loading gun and your stamina draining ax. Planning is key otherwise you will be overrun by wolves and other foul beasts. The cut scene animations are not great, characters are like paper dolls moved on the screen rather than rendered 3d models and the main menus are kind of grainy and contrast against the game art they are laid over. But once in the game, the characters and the world are 3d and the game plays well and is a lot of fun.
