    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:

    A) accept it as dumb, mindless, repetitive fun, and B) realize that it's not a love letter to American action movies (as IGN describes it), but rather a satirical view of America's foreign interventions.

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. It has an amazing campaign, awesome characters, fun as hell gameplay, and some of the most fun co-op I have ever experienced.

    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.

    - Nice weapons
    - Nice gameplay
    - Nice levels
    - You can play online, but it is harder than offline campaign.

    Cons:

    I guess it's a fun game with nice design gimmicks, but really lacking in depth once you see past the Team America -antics. The game is totally over-hyped, you might like the game but don't be fooled - it's only a nice little side scroller, nothing more.

    Humor is great but besides that it's pretty repetitive. Basically you do the same stuff over and over again without any progress at all (gameplay doesn't evolve a bit).

    Coop just gets more chaotic and confusing and even though it's partially fun for the most part it's just holding the shoot-button, jumping to the right and hope that the character you're looking at is really yours    Humor is great but besides that it's pretty repetitive.

    Coop just gets more chaotic and confusing and even though it's partially fun for the most part it's just holding the shoot-button, jumping to the right and hope that the character you're looking at is really yours inbetween these millions of generic explosions. Since your characters are switching really fast it's also pretty hard to follow often, who is who.

    This is a cool game on the surface but it has NO depth - I got bored of it after an hour.
    I played it with a friend and we both got bored of it an hour later.
    I think this is a 4.99 game - wait for a sale. To Recap: - The Bro's RNG can really screw you if you get a Bro with more specific abilities. - While loading times are usually very short, they can spike to a minute or more.

    A pretty fun game for the multiplayer mode. I'd give it an 8, but I've run into connection and syncing issues every time I've tried to play it online, which usually start to kick in just as you make it to a new area. If they can resolve those issues, I could recommend this game. Until then, it's a "meh, get it on sale."

    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.
