Summary

Brothers in Arms DS brings the series’ signature blend of action and squad‑tactics to the Nintendo DS, letting the touch screen act as a command hub for your troops. Across 16 missions you can hop between foot combat, tank crews, and other combat vehicles, swapping between bazookas, sniper rifles and grenades on the fly. The game also supports up to four players, so you can squad up with three friends for a variety of multiplayer modes that feel surprisingly deep for a handheld. Though Gameloft handled the development and Ubisoft published it, the title sits firmly in the Brothers in Arms lineage that began with Gearbox’s Road to Hill 30. A later iOS port was released as Brothers in Arms: Hour of Heroes, and the same engine showed up on the N‑Gate QD under the simple Brothers in Arms name.

Storyline

In Brothers in Arms DS you step into the boots of Corporal Bernard “Barney” Hill, a soldier of the 101st Airborne Division. The game’s campaign follows Hill through three pivotal World War II fronts: the desert battles of Tunisia, the Normandy invasion, and the harsh fighting of the Ardennes. Each location is presented as a separate mission segment, letting players experience the varied conditions and tactics of each theater.
