Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons

As you grow up, your perception of the world changes drastically, but so does your world. The eyes see things exactly as they really are, without childish magic.

Also, over time, the meaning of almost everything changes. And there is an understanding that there is no way to change everything, to bring back the magic that used to be there.

And there are only fairy tales left in life. They are a kind of stimulants that make the imagination work, and there is an opportunity to believe in miracles again. And Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is one opportunity to be in a fairy tale.

An interesting way

Already after watching the clips, you might think that this is just an adventure where there is just no shooting. The point is that the two brothers have to solve problems as they go, wade through chasms and pull levers to open doors, use different mechanisms and so on.

But it is important to note right away that there is no co-op. You have to play with two brothers at once, and do it simultaneously. For the joystick sticks are responsible for movement.

Initially the player perceives everything as if he is trying to write with two hands at once. But an even more serious pattern break occurs when the older brother is to the right of the younger one, and there is no immediate understanding of how to steer further. It’s actually quite difficult, but with time, an understanding of how the non-working hand can behave comes.

But there is another plus, this unconventional control does a great job of clearing the mind of all kinds of thoughts. And it’s a very interesting effect, as if one is listening to an interesting story, almost through a dream. And it brings back a time when every story seemed like a fairy tale.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a fairy tale, of course, but with elements of violence and blood, sometimes there is something to grieve over, or something to feel good about. A rush of emotion is guaranteed.

Almost everything in the world is actually present, castles that have not been visited in a long time, trolls or giants, real warlike tribes and monsters whose appearance can be frightening.  The scenery and events actively change, but the point is that the brothers need to keep going. And the point of the journey is to find the tree of life for their father, who is terminally ill, and to extract the healing sap that can help him. And this is the only cure.

Everything is actually very clear and familiar. The brothers communicate with each other in an invisible language, but this in no way interferes with the perception of everything that is going on.

Special features

It is important to note that in the game no one will be able to tell you where to run or what to do in a certain situation. And there will be a variety of characters along the way during the passage, and they can help if necessary. Also, as you pass, the weather conditions and the picture change, which also looks very interesting. In fact, everything is worked out to the smallest detail, so everything
