I have really enjoyed this game so far, the storyline is entertaining and the fantasy aspect holds your attention. The graphics, although not great at times, really didn’t bother me, and overall the game was pretty enough compared to other games. It’s also just a really sweet tale about two brothers on a quest to save their father! That being said, the controls are terrible, and the game is pretty buggy. I had to restart at a checkpoint several times because the characters straight up didn’t move when I wanted them to move. The joysticks are also badly placed and it doesn’t seem like there is any way to move them, only to make them bigger or smaller, or more opaque. I wish I could leave 5 stars, but for what I paid, it doesn’t quite reach the bar!
I actually stopped in the middle to write this review because I was so disappointed. This game has been fantastic, engaging, and entertaining, UNTIL... the part where you have to swing the brothers by a rope around a cliff. There were NO instructions or references to anything like this in the tutorial at the start, or the gameplay thus far. I actually thought it was some kind of bug at first, until, in my frustration, I accidentally made one brother fall so he was dangling. I went to setting, and looked at how to use the controls. Nothing. I even googled a walkthrough because I was enjoying it so much until this point. It took me like 40 minutes and god knows how many tries to figure it out. You have to touch the screen (not the joystick,which moves all over the place anyway) and I figured it out by trial and error. In my frustration I have given 3 stars, but I will come back when I finish and give another rating. If this game keeps going like the first part, it is 5 stars all the way. But these iOS controls are NOT intuitive, and some minimal guidance would make the experience a million times better. Rant over Now I’ve finished, and i changed to 5 stars because I cannot give 10 stars. Fantastic game despite small issues with controls
I bought it. Yes, it supports full screen? For the 13 Pro Max Expansion, is it completely improved? I don't know that and I'm upset, so the game could be improved further. The game needs a complete optimizer update. I hope so. But what I liked most about the game is that it supports small control buttons, but I hope that an option to minimize the transparency of the buttons will be added, because it is very visible and annoying. And Activating automatic play for one character, which of them you want to play and which of them should be automatic. This is how playing with seventy-five is very difficult on the phone. like the “Unruly heroes” game. Thank you very much, for your great game. I hope the second season comes soon
First of all the controls are terrible! I can barely even make the brothers walk smoothly without having one of them walk into a wall! Second of all the graphics are horrible! Whenever the weird ugly troll with mushrooms growing out of his pale un tanned back climbs up a wall you can see his hands glitching a lil. Now to the positive stuff. I love ❤️ the levels and the sense of nature! the game just never gets boring! During some parts the game is just kinda a stress reliever, for example canoeing through the smooth beautiful water and walking through the beautiful woods. Besides the controls and graphics this game is amazing! I highly recommend this game! 😊 😊
Don’t get me wrong this story is riveting and is so well done. However as another reviewer who played this game on the same device as mine, their iPad mini 5, mentioned, the graphics and rendering of images are messed up, and it stutters. This device uses a A12 chip so there is no excuse, it just hasn’t been optimized to work on newer devices. However it ruined the experience terribly even though it is such an amazing story. Without spoiling, the levels near the end were in one word jacked up completely at times. It would show character models walking in thin air because the ground wasn’t rendering and was invisible. As with other objects including walls and objects you had to climb. Even an important character. I had to guess my way through. It was horrendous. Please fix so I can replay and completely enjoy this game as it was intended, and I can give this game the rating it deserves.
I had a good bit of fun playing through this relatively inexpensive mobile game. If you enjoy puzzle solving games that aren’t over the top in complexity, I think this one is a good choice. In my opinion, the ending was well done. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who may read this prior to playing, but I like what they did.
I like this game a lot! The story is great, deep and has great morals. I hardly liked fantasies with fantasy creatures because they were too idealistic for me, but this is great!!! I loved how they combined fantasy elements with a realistic world. It helps you accept reality insteading of escaping like other fantasies do. And unlike fantasies, the game requires you to use your brain to solve situations rather than using magic to get out of them. I love this story! It’s pretty serious, but very good morals. Love the scenery, design and music! And I love the ending! This is a great app idea, I wish they have more like this!
I’ve played this all the way through with my 6 year old son, twice now! It’s a great bonding experience. The graphics are wonderful and the music is magical. You need to work together to figure out and complete the very interesting puzzles. There are many surprises along the way. I’ve been playing games for many years and this one stands out for the many directions your heart will get pulled. Well worth your time. If they make another, I would purchase without question.
I’ve played this game 3 times and it still never gets old. I keep hoping there is more. Every year I look up “brothers 2” I was thinking maybe this time the younger brother can have a baby brother because the dad married someone else or something. And then it shows the younger brother and his baby brother at an older age and they go on another adventure. I love all the details and the graph Inca are amazing. Please make another one!! I can’t get over how much I love this game!!
This is one of the best mobile games I’ve ever played! The graphics are great, the story is very engaging, and it’s a great adventure that keeps your interest and makes you want to keep playing. The navigation is very different; you have to use two virtual joysticks to control both brothers. When you get the hang of it, it’s very easy to use. I wish they would come out with a version two, but with the way this one ended, I don’t know if they can.
I love this game to death. It was one of the first playthroughs I ever watched and I’ve had it on all of my previous apple products with no problems. When I got an iPhone X, I really wanted to redownload and play this game, but to my disappointment, there was no sound. I tried uninstalling the app, adjusting the in game volume settings, turning off my device, resetting my device, even using different headphones to see if mine were just broken but nothing worked. The support center I got sent to was not helpful at all and there were no auto generated questions addressing this issue. Am I the only one experiencing this? Is there a way to fix it? This is my favorite game and I really want to play it so I’m just very upset.
I am blown away by this unexpectedly beautiful game. Or is it simply a story we partake in? It’s not only gorgeous, graphically, but the gameplay is perfect. I did not find the controls difficult to use, though the puzzle part is that there are many ways to use them. This is the only game I’ve ever felt compelled to review. I hope the developers have created or will create more. I’d buy another in a heartbeat - but you’ve set the bar high now, so make it well. 😉
Just got my iPad mini 5 and it shows it’s compatible under ‘compatibility’ on the game page, but alas, the graphics are ALL screwed up. The water is completely brown with zero wave effects, the lightning effects looks bad, textures all rigid and draw distance makes the whole thing look fake. The game looks better on my iPad mini 4. The issue is this, you guys claimed to do an update to the game so it plays better and is optimized for newer iPads and the the newer graphics chips. Well clearly the A12 chip is just too powerful and the game can’t handle it. So you guys either need to do another update to fix or remove from the compatibility section.
I would recommend this game to anyone with an adventurous soul. Only negative is that there’s this annoying ding when you make one of the brothers do something. I wish they could remove that dinging because it would make it more natural and peaceful, then this game would be fun and an awesome adventure with amazing scenery that opens your eyes to the beauty of nature. Great sound effects and the water and other scenery is very clear and accurate. This is a quality game.
I couldn’t understand the story, but I realized you don’t need to understand what you are hearing to feel. All I can say about this game is (Wow) and it should be a 10x star rating because all the people who created this Game are bright stars. Im looking forward to part2, I can’t stop smiling never played a game that made me want to cry after finishing it. I don’t know about anybody else but I felt like I was actually apart of the story and lost my brother:(((
I’m playing through and at the Tree, there’s a cut scene where you fly on the bird. Then it resets back where you have to the tree scene again. Over and over again. The game never advances. I think there’s a bug and it’s probably too old of an app for them to fix. I’d probably pass on this app because the iOS version is a bit hard to use. I also have a screen shot where I sawed a tree down and got punted up to some invisible areas and had to reset the chapter. That happens a lot in this game Sometimes the brothers get stuck. Like the rope tied to each other. It got tangled on the steps and they got stuck. Instead of untying themselves and retying the rope, the game stopped allowing them to move. I have about four other instances I can recall where they stuck and restarting the chapter fixes everything. Just not this tree back to spider reset, it happens reapeatedly. And sad, i think I’m near the end of this story.
This is a game that has an amazing story plot, astonishing graphics which can be seen from different angles, and a one of the most easy yet convenient control. The puzzles in the game need some thinking, but are not difficult. Plus, there are tones of tones of tiny details that congregate to make this game one of the best. I have to emphasize again: this is an amazing game that's underrated for no reason. I FEEL SORRY FOR THE PRODUCERS AND CREATORS OF THIS MASTERPIECE. THEY MUST'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TO MAKE THIS GAME WONDERFUL, BUT....*sigh* :((((((((
I originally came into contact with this game by watching Pewdiepie play through the first few challenges but found it too boring to watch. When I stumbled upon it again, I thought it couldn’t hurt to test it out. I became pretty enthralled with the storyline. While at times it’s a bit silly, it was playful enough to be equally engaging. I found the ending however to be defeatist and made me feel blasé. The gameplay was unnecessarily frustrating to the point that it took away from the story. I found myself focusing on control positioning and would start to lose my place. As a bookworm, the thought of being forced out of my headspace mid-story is unappealing. In the end, I was still sad to see the story come to completion. Brothers is now a part of the criteria that games must be held up against in order to determine their worth.
This Is one of the funnest games I've ever played with a surprising, sad/bittersweet ending, there's only 2 Issues I had with this game, the controls are not always the best and It crashes at the very end on my iPad Pro, I had to close It out and go to the chapters category to finish the game, but other than that I'm still giving It 5 stars, hope they make another Brothers adventure to tell what happened to the boys mother!
I played this game over a year ago and still have fond memories of it. Yes, the gameplay could get a little tedious and frustrating at times with the dual control but overall it worked well and the concept was fun. The story and scenery are beautiful and heart wrenching, especially if you have a sibling you’re close to. Great game, thanks for sharing the world with us.
Brothers is really fun game except at the very end that the older brother dies but it’s really fun and if you like to have adventure I would definitely hundred percent suggest that you get this game it will take you a few hours to complete it and it’s very it’s semi hard it’s good for people that are learning how to make up their mind imagination nothing bad ever happens no bad words they do talk in a different language and I would use headphones
Really different game with clever solutions to solving problems. Game was pretty short. Under 5 hours play time, but I didn’t see this as a negative. It’s like renting a movie or some other activity that you expect to entertain you for a short period of time. Well worth a few dollars for 5 hours of highly entertaining and engaging gaming fun. And you can play through again to get the achievements...
This game is amazing the graphics are gorgeous and stunning every time I play I appreciate it more! The gameplay is really smooth on my iPhone never had any issues, if you like an adventure this is definitely worth buying I've played this game at least five or six times and it never gets old!
Interesting game...until it goes black on the owl ride and starts over at the last auto save
It looks like the developers need to fix the bug that prevents progress after reaching the tree and taking what I assume is the ride back on the owl. The screen goes black, or alternately shows a blip of the brothers falling through space (which happened to me once during another the game when the characters accidentally went off course).
I love this game very much but I don’t know how to do the last achievement I’ve looked online it says nothing about it so please come back and answer my question thank you.
What an enjoyable game! Admittedly I ran into one glitch that forced me to start the chapter over & the controls are a bit wonky. It does take a few scenes to get used to them. I played on an IPad so no joystick involved. Even so I really enjoyed the story and hope to see more of these developers in the future.
It’s a fun game. The only issue I have is the controls. A little bit annoying to have to constantly walk around with both brothers at the same time because it kind of throws you off. It would be nice if while walking and doing neutral things, the other brother would just follow instead of you having to constantly be confused controlling both
5 Stars! Way Underrated! Perfect PUZZLE ADVENTURE GAME
This is the best adventure/ puzzle game I have ever played. I have been searching and searching for similar games and I have yet to find one as good as this. Controls are great and moving the 2 brothers at the same time is challenging and fun. Amazing graphics and great story. Shocking end but great game!
I love Adventures. And this was the best adventure game I've played in my life (More like the best game I've played in my life). People out their that LOVE Adventures you should most definitely play this game. At the end it was so sad but I still enjoyed the game. Josef Fares I hope you and your crew make a Brothers 2.
This was a well made game. It is so much different than anything out there. Not too hard and just so much fun. I was able to finish it and wish they would add more chapters. And of course I’m willing to pay.
I absolutely love the appearance and the story of this game, both are beautiful! Unfortunately, I’ve encountered several bugs that render the game unplayable if you don’t start over, and it seems impossible to get through. Maybe playing on other platforms is a smoother experience, but this version, at least, isn’t working.
I loved what I could play but I'm stuck in the first chapter because the joysticks are horrible. The joysticks need to not move around so you can rotate the buttons and then froze my iphone6s plus several times. I'll wait for an update before I attempt to play again (recent update fixed nothing).I usually don't purchase games and I'll think twice next time.
Crashes on the iPad Pro (gen1) on (what I believe) is the final cut scene. Can’t see the ending! Huge letdown! Also lots of little bugs along the way that were annoying, but usually fixed with a reset of the app. Also often jerky animation. Needs some more optimization’s. Otherwise a well done game if the bugs were fixed. Note for kids - there are many unexpected dark moments in the game. Probably better for >= teens.
Have restarted the check point and my six year old is so bummed as we just hang on the zip line without moving. We will try to restart the chapter next but that’s bogus as it appears to be a common glitch and I really wish the company would get their act together and make updates rather than just take her money and watch us fail.
The game deals with teamwork and a lot of logic. It was emotional, and the graphics, for a mobile game especially, were great. I have NO regrets spending money on this, though I did get through it faster than I expected.
Hats off to this game it is a hand down well written masterpiece! Like (for real) I want to play it again.,it was so good!? So I don't think theirs a sec one coming out due to the death in the family? This is a keeper right here!
When I first bought this app I thought it would be a fraud but when I played it I was like “woah” and there is one question is this a two player game or no
I think that this is a great game and I really recommend playing this and it’s such a moving experience to get to play . I would like it if there was a part 2!
At the end of Chapter 2, when the brothers are both hanging from a T bar that starts a long slide on an overhead rail, they will not move to begin the slide.
I have played this on P.C. through steam years ago and I remember crying in the end. It was so touching and I love everything about the game! I can’t wait to try the mobile version.
Innovative and beautiful but the crashing that others have noted needs to be fixed. It’s already painful enough to have to bury your brother but the game crashes then loops you back to that awful scene again and again. What happens to his father? What an utter disappointment
The effects in this game were good ..the story line was sad but what an awesome adventure...love it..my only downfall of this game was the controls...GET DIRECTIONAL BUTTONS...the joystick was all over & made it hard to play...I almost deleted it 2s bc of it...all in all the game was great...
I purchased this game 2 days ago and the app tries to load but then says can’t download at this time cancel or retry. I have been retrying for 2 days over and over again. They took my money but it won’t even download the app onto my iPad Pro. I contacted the developer and of course haven’t heard back but yet they are sitting there with my money.
This game has amazing graphics and a great storyline but I can’t finish chapter 2 Part 1 because on one part it won’t let me push something.I would like this fixed.
I pretty much got through all the levels to the burial part,HOWEVER, the issue is that the game wouldn’t load the very last mission where you return to the father, instead it would take me back to the burial mission again, great game, just disappointed with the crash.
This game is very very beautiful of the most beautiful games that have passed in my life and the story is very wonderful and adventure ><،، why the game ends this way😭💔
I originally wrote a stellar review and now I take it back. I have reached a point in the game in which the boys are in a “water” cave. There is a T bar they are to jump on and move along the rail. I have tried ever button push and combination and nothing happens, they just hang there. They don’t move! I can no longer continue the game. 👎🏼
