Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Launch Trailer
“Brothers – A
Tale of Two Sons” takes a novel approach to cooperative gaming. Rather
than splitting up control of its heroes – the titular two sons – between
multiple players like most co-op games, “Brothers – A Tale of Two Sons”
tasks you with controlling both simultaneously, using the left and
right analog sticks, to solve puzzles and overcome obstacles.
Developed by
Starbreeze Studios and published by 505 Games, “Brothers – A Tale of Two
Sons” tells the story of two sons who set out on an epic journey to
find the Water of Life for their ailing father. You will need to guide
both brothers at the same time, and solve an array of complex puzzles
that require careful coordination, employing each of the brothers’
unique abilities.
For example, the
first puzzles we encountered in our preview had us passing through a
field guarded by an angry dog. We ran the younger brother halfway
across the field, climbed to safety on a haystack and began taunting the
dog. The dog ran over to growl at the younger brother, opening up a
clear path for the older to sprint to the end. Once there, we used the
older brother to distract the dog, so the younger had a clear shot to
join his sibling.
The next puzzle
was more complicated and required experimenting with the brothers’
specific traits. We needed to lower a drawbridge and get both brothers
to the other side of a river, where a flock of sheep waited. The only
way to activate the bridge was to run on a nearby wheel. We quickly
discovered that using the younger brother to keep the bridge lowered
enabled the older, stronger brother to carry a sheep back across the
river. After that, we deposited the sheep into the wheel, which lowered
the bridge again and allowed the brothers to continue on their way.
Controlling both
brothers using separate analog sticks and triggers felt natural after a
few minutes, and solving the game’s introductory puzzles was a rewarding
challenge. According to the developers, though, our preview was just
the tip of the iceberg. A host of significantly more intricate puzzles,
and even boss fights, await the two brothers as their adventure takes
them through the game’s lush, fantasy world full of magical allies and
deadly monsters.
