Takeshi and Hiroshi is a simple combat game in six stages wrapped by an animated story. Middle-grade student Takeshi is making a video game but is stuck with the monster AI. His ill little brother Hiroshi begs to play it so Takeshi lets him play it and uses his laptop to play the monsters. Hiroshi is delighted so each night Takeshi tries to get a bit more of the game done and each night he has to be the GM for an unsuspecting Hiroshi. Takeshi's new friends get involved and the story has a bit of a resolution though it's really not much of a story, almost more of a chapter one.

The game itself is a combat game. The hero faces five stages of opponents. As the GM you get nine opponents to choose from and the order you choose them is the order the hero attacks them. The objective is to choose one or more opponents such that the hero wins while having few hit points left. This increases his excitement score which you need to get to a certain level that goes up in each level (also there is a new monster type or two each level). Once combat starts it goes automatically though you get two buttons for defend and power attack (each ability usable once per combat).

It's a bit tricky to make sure combat comes out right since damage is a little variable. Took me a couple of nights to finish the whole game which is why I think of it as chapter one because there really isn't much to it. The animated story is a nice touch but very laggy on my old iPad. Overall I did like the game even though it's for a younger audience I think.
