The game received mixed reception from video game critics.

Gameplay

Two Brothers is an action role-playing game.

Development

Two Brothers was developed by AckkStudios. Inspiration for the game came from game director Brian Allanson's childhood playing of Game Boy and the trend of demakes.[1] To fund the game, a Kickstarter campaign was made, asking for $6,000. The campaign ended at $16,257 with 779 backers.[2]

A director's cut of the game was planned for the PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita and Wii U's Nintendo eShop. The original game was planned for release on Wii U in 2012 with a third-party developer handling the port.[3][4] The Unity engine would be used for the game. It would also be renamed to Chromophore: The Two Brothers. This was to avoid confusion with Brothers.[5][6] The game was delayed in 2016 as AckkStudios was wrapping development of YIIK, saying it was 75 percent complete.[7] While AckkStudios said the game was still in development in 2017,[5] as of 2022, the game has not been released.
