As a 32-year-old man, I started this game knowing only that you control two characters at a time. What I did not realize was how much of a treat I was in for. I played this game with my steam controller, one brother for each pad and it went fine, all the way through with no problems at all. The game, though not of modern AAA quality, still looks great. Lending a slight toon like atmosphere. Trolls and giants, spider women and human sacrifice, this game has it all.

The story revolves around the two brothers attempting to save their father by collecting an elixir made by one specific tree. The younger brother, afraid of the water and much smaller, had witnessed their mother's death, being too weak to save her. This is the driving factor in the brother NEED to save their father.

This game made me cry, literally. The way, at the end, after the older brother, is killed by the spider queen. The devs make you bury your brother. It is excruciatingly slow as you lower him into his grave and slowly pile the dirt on top of his body. When you make it back home, a small epilog starts. This is where the younger brother, without the support of his brother, has to traverse the very same short area leading to your house from the beginning of the game. This time, when you need to swim, you use the left trigger, that was your brothers interact button, not yours but it works for his actions anyways, such a nice touch! The way the father breaks down at the end, being a father myself, it really did make it feel like his emotion was beamed right into you.
