### 4/5 — Lacks controller support

*2026-03-05, version 1.7.2*

Great port would be great if it had controller support as on the pc or console versions, as they have controllers specifically for phones now like the backbone or razer kishi

### 4/5 — A fun game with a gruesome ending

*2026-02-23, version 1.7.2*

I’m 7 years old, and the game is for 13 year olds, and I still played it, but I was wrong.  I was able to solve the puzzles, but there are some deaths in the story that make the game sad.  Kids should probably be around 12 to play it.

### 2/5 — Bag

*2026-01-23, version 1.7.2*

Bu parayı verip de bu kadar bag ile karşılaştığım başka oyun yok

### 3/5 — Needs update

*2025-12-10, version 1.7.2*

Last 2 chapters: can’t see graphics. Literally seeing through everything. No idea what was happening. Giant troll? Who knows it was invisible.

### 4/5 — Стався баг

*2025-12-02, version 1.7.2*

In the third part of the game Brothers, a bug occurred — it’s impossible to ride further up the spiral. We checked reviews, and the parts were supposed to break beforehand. The game won’t let us progress. What should we do?

### 3/5 — Hatalar

*2025-11-30, version 1.7.2*

Oyunu oynarken sinematik girmesi gereken yerde girmedi
Oyunda ilerleyemedim
Bir daha aynı bölümü oynamak zorunda kaldım
Bir yerde de karakter hareket etmedi. Bir şeye takıldı sanki
Oyundan çıkıp tekrar girince düzeldi neyse ki
Bunların dışında bulmacalar basitti çoğu yerde sıkıldım
Hikayeyi çok da etkileyici bulamadım kötü değildi ama iyi de diyemem
Aynı anda iki karakteri kontrol etmek zordu
Aynı anda kontrol etmek zorunda değildik belki ama aynı anda kontrol etmeyince de tatmin edici bir oynanış da sunmuyordu
Kısaca oynanış da vasat

### 4/5 — control

*2025-03-30, version 1.7.2*

### 4/5 — Bug Report

*2024-06-21, version 1.7.2*

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.

### 2/5 — 3. Kapitola, nefunguje skluzavka

*2024-06-06, version 1.7.2*

How come the slide doesn't work in chapter 3 for a paid game? Please repair. We just jump on it and stand still. No movement.

### 5/5 — Two Brothers

*2023-12-30, version 1.7.2*

This is the 3rd time that I have Played this game to my mind no other role playing games have been so good.
You are involved in a Story from start to finish.
I only hope that the writers of this game make another very soon as good or better than this game.DM

### 1/5 — Broken on modern iOS.

*2024-11-20, version 1.7.2*

This hasn’t been updated in years. I recently updated to iOS 17.7.1 from an older iOS (where the game worked) and now going back to it since I never finished it, multiple important textures including a giant creature that chases you and sometimes the ground just flat out don’t appear. Might be a simple re-install issue but honestly I last played this probably years ago so it’s whatever I’ll just move on.

### 1/5 — lenguaje, no hay español como dice

### 1/5 — Graphis

### 1/5 — Vote Change

*2021-01-11, version 1.7.2*

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. 👎🏼

### 5/5 — Brotherhood

*2026-01-09, version 1.7.2*

This is one of the most incredible games I’ve ever played, going on my 4th time. Such real emotion, passion, resilience, tragedy, victory! It’s the most complete game that relates to human emotions. I cried the first time I laughed, cried, hoped, worried and gratified. 
Excellent game! Hope to see more kind of these games. Truly Amazing!!!

### 5/5 — Fantasy Action Adventure

*2025-06-27, version 1.7.2*

I’ve just this minute finished playing this games
A new twist to a game for me was taking control of two brothers as a single player.

I found the game deeply moving and at the end I did have a few tears.
 Despite its short length I found it to be a high quality game with a unique and emotionally resonate experience
