    This game was so much fun. It's even better when you're playing with friends (but that's obvious). Pickens approves!

    To enjoy this game, you must:

In this game, there's quite a bit of anti-American sentiment, and missing that is missing a rather big point the developers were trying to make.

    This is very evident in the level descriptions, where America is portrayed as xenophobic, warmongering, and politically inept. Here are examples:

    "Iraqistan? F#$k Iraqistan. Americanize them!" (--Obviously a reference to Operation Iraqi Freedom)

    "The people from this country look, speak, and act differently than we do. We've gotta move fast!"

    "Yourkraine? More like OURkraine." (sic)

    "Something something bipartisanship something something unilateral action."

    As an American, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with this. I actually think it's hilarious. Just pointing out that we're not in on the joke here; we are the joke.

    Gameplay wise, it's fun but best with a party. Some of the character abilities arent well balanced (Indiana BROnes is useless), but overall pretty varied and interesting. I particularly enjoyed the desperate attempt to fit a "bro" into names that can't possibly be used for that pun, such as Ellen Ripley.    … Expand

    Broforce, or, as I like to call it, The Expendables if it wasn't sh*te, takes the irreverent humor that permeated Team America: World Police and amps it up to truly obscene levels, never letting up on the gore or, perhaps more importantly, the fun.

No matter how repetitive decimating throngs upon throngs of faceless terrorists in increasingly creative ways gets, the game excels at keeping things fresh, whether it be via introducing a new enemy type or bringing a new Bro into the action. But perhaps the most unreservedly entertaining aspect of the game is how hilarious it is. Uncalled-for explosions, satirical jabs at the "America, F*** Yeah!" mentality, and a copious amount of muscles permeate Broforce and turn it into an experience you aren't likely to forget. The level editor is excellent and keeps the game from getting old; multiplayer follows suit by doubling (or even quadrupling) the fun.

    On an overall scale, Broforce is easily one of the most hilariously entertaining games currently on the market. Although it still could use some work in some areas, all of these issues are compensated for with explosions and testosterone aplenty. To say it would offers a bang for your buck would be an understatement; this game will turn even the most devoted tea-drinkers into fully-fledged American citizens.    … Expand

    Destruction, chaos, explosions, guns, Murica, terrorists, and killing satan at the end of every level results in one of the greatest retro throwback games I've played since Hotline Miami.

    The best fun for the value out there. Broforce was delightful. Funny, challenging to just the right degree, and full of blowing things up. Loved it. It's an homage to action movies and a satire of 'Merica!nism. Show me someone who doesn't love this game and I'll show you someone who is grumpy.

    Весёлая игра, в которую обязательно нужно играть с другом.
    Каждую секунду происходят взрывы, уровни уничтожаются до основания, а играете вы за терминатора или за хищника или за кучу других персонажей... Прекрасно.

    What do you think would happen if you mixed Vegeta from Dragonball Z Abridged with Michael Bay? Well besides a disgusting mess that would bring pain and suffering where ever it goes, you would also get the video game, BROFORCE.

    Badass.
    It's essentially an 8-bit run-and-gunner starring characters from old action movies such as Robocop, John Rambo, and.. wait, Chuck Norris is in this game? Ok, it's perfect. I'm clocking out early. 10/10. Anyways, the environment around you is completely destructible, which makes for more gameplay options. Also, there are so many explosions going on, it would make Micheal Bay    Badass.

Also, there are so many explosions going on, it would make Micheal Bay cry. However, as a result of this, it's easy to lose yourself in all of the chaos and die. There's a level editor, which in some cases is completely worthless, but it allows for you to play other people's levels which is really cool! The game is pretty short, like any indie game, but the excitement, the humor, and the gameplay make this game so much fun. If there's one thing I think this game needed was more explosions.

    This takes all the best features from Metal Slug, puts them on steroids, and then injects a ton of MURICA into the equation.

    Behind the humor, is amazing level design, varied monsters and locations to discover, and tons of unlock-able characters.

    Oh yeah... And there's a level editor, and 99999999 levels have already been made by the community!!

    Una maravilla jugable que combina acción frenética y plataforma. Controlas a un grupo de personajes basados en peliculas o videojuegos. Cada uno de ellos con su particulares armas y poderes. Te enfrentaras a perros, suicidas, soldados, maquinas a cada cual mas bestial...todo para que no llegues al final de cada nivel y puedas escapar. Encima, trae editor. Diversión para años.

    If you love side-scroll shooters and dumb 80's action film then you will love this game. It has the right combo of action and humor with plenty of nostalgia to make it one of my favorite PC games.

    En conclusión, uno de los títulos más atractivos y divertidos que podemos encontrar en el mercado.

    Manejar algunos de los grandes héroes de acción del cine por escenarios destructibles repletos de enemigos y con una jugabilidad desafiante y frenética es una gozada.

    A eso le añadimos un control perfecto, un pixel art maravilloso y un multijugador a 4 tenemos un juego redondo.

    playability: there is perfection?, the answer is yes: it is grandiosely epic and more twisted than doom (which looks like a child's game compared to this), each bro has its own abilities and are well balanced

    Art: someone is going to say that graphics and ugly art and I tell them is great, it allows you to appreciate the scenarios and it is a pleasure that they are there, even 16-bit graphics help to improve aesthetics

    Broforce is a modern indie take on Metal Slug with a faster pace and more explosions. The art style is beautiful and the game has great humor, especially if you pay attention to details.

It feeds a lot from the 80s-90s action movie culture and if you are familiar with unlockable characters from Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris to Mad Max, Blade and many others, you will get a much more enjoyment out of it. As much as it can be played with 4 players online co-op, the sweet spot is with 2 players. Otherwise, you might find yourself in a chaotic mess of explosions and it will be quite hard to follow what’s really happening. Each character has its own main and special weapons which all feel quite unique and offer a different style of gameplay. You do not get to choose your character (which would probably lead the majority people to mostly choose their one favorite character), but I felt this was a good choice in terms of game mechanics and motivates you to have different approaches to the level based on your given character for that specific level. This also prevents the game from feeling repetitive, which it otherwise would as you most levels are not that different from each other except the ones with the aliens.

    There are two drawbacks I can think of. The game continues during the cutscenes and when the cutscene is over, you might find yourself in an undesirable situation which is a bit frustrating. The other drawback is that the custom campaigns are offline only, a missed opportunity by the developers. With a good level editor and ability to play custom campaigns online, Broforce could have been a classic.

    Overall, Broforce is a great co-op to play with a friend. It is very enjoyable for as long as it lasts and ends before it gets boring.    … Expand

    Broforce is a 2D relative of Just Cause. Got bored? Go entertain yourself. Life’s too difficult? You can stop whenever you want. Just don’t expect anything from the developers — they put hundreds of exploding barrels everywhere, gave us a ton of guns and called it a day.
