About this game

In Blood Brothers, Hark and Kren travel to the planet Scorpia to find and destroy the space convicts known as the Scorpions, who killed their parents and destroyed their village on Sylonia.

The game combines two styles of play. In the platform sections, players explore flick-screen environments, avoid obstacles, and shoot enemies. The flying sections place players behind a Skywalk Jet Bike as they search for mine entrances by steering through gaps in the walls.

One brother explores the mine while the other locates its entrance. The brothers can be controlled by two players or by one player switching between them, with one controlled by joystick and the other by keyboard.
