Do I even have to ask if you're going to recommend this? It's a little fiddly in places, due in part to it being a port of a game that was initially designed for controllers, but it's still a wonderfully entertaining and enthralling adventure.

If you're asking if it's a good game though, it is. Brothers is definitely one of the best looking games on the App Store. Some of the vistas make you want to stop and sit on the grass and stare. I had a couple of crashes as well, and the game chugs a tiny bit on my iPad Air. One boss just stopped moving and I had to restart the puzzle. There were a few issues in my playthrough. It's more than enough to push you through some of the game's problems. You'll meet lots of interesting characters along the way who'll try and help and hinder you as well. I don't want to spoil too much of it, but you're trying to save your father's life. Instead you need to figure out how to use the environment to your advantage. But since you're playing kids, smashing their faces in isn't an option. There are sections where you need to get past enemies. Something require you to use both of them, like particularly heavy switches or items you need to move around. Objects you can interact with in the world are highlighted in either blue or orange, with the colours corresponding to one of the brothers. You've got two joysticks on the screen, one for each brother, and pushing on them will perform a context sensitive action. It's not that often you need to control both of them at exactly the same time, instead you can move them one at once. So it's like tapping your head and rubbing your tummyĮr, I guess so. One's stronger and can push switches, the others is smaller and can get through little gaps and sneak. The two characters, the brothers of the title, have different skills.

Both characters at the same time? What is this madness It's been out on lots of other platforms for a while, but it's just landed on iOS. This is Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, it's a puzzling adventure where one player controls both characters at the same time. Ooooh, is that a two player game? Can I join in?
