Their mother drowned in the sea and their father is ailing.
The two set out to find the Water of Life, which is said to hold the power to cure their father.
Both brothers are controlled separately for movement and actions.
The game strings together various scenes where the brothers must solve puzzles by helping each other, for instance by pulling levers, dragging items, distracting dangerous characters or operating a catapult.
Not by controlling them separately, but often both at the same time.
Next to movement they can also climb, hang from ledges and slide down.
There are a few enemies along the way, but these cannot be fought directly.
Instead, a more inventive approach needs to be found.
The game focuses on exploration and especially environment-based puzzle-solving to progress.
The game is shown with a third-person view, often shown from a distance or above, and with a fixed camera.
The level design is linear with a single path to progress.
It also contains various sequences not related to the main quest where the brothers have fun together, to establish the atmosphere.
The environment has a fantasy-like atmosphere with different locales such as villages, mountains, a sequence where they travel by boat over a river, a frozen landscape etc.
About Xbox One
Microsoft's Xbox One launched in 2013 alongside the PS4 and leaned heavily into backwards compatibility and subscription services like Game Pass. Because so many Xbox One owners moved to all-digital libraries, physical Xbox One cartridges — sorry, discs — in good condition are comparatively less common on the secondhand market than their PlayStation equivalents from the same era.
Gamevaro tracks Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons for Xbox One with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This XONE release dates back to 2013.
