    At first glance Broforce may look like a basic side-scroller built on a one-note joke, but there's a lot more depth to the game than that, both in terms of gameplay and humor.

    Broforce is a love letter to iconic heroes from action movies, but also an enjoyable and frenetic action game.

    For anyone who hasn’t had their fill of retro side-scrolling platformers, Broforce effortless and undeniable fun. Load-up, settle in, and invite a few bros.

    BroForce is just the best run&gun since Metal Slug.

    Technical issues aside, Broforce is a delightfully chaotic love letter to the brightly-colored excesses of 80’s action movie carnage and coin op shooters.

    I don't know how this got voted as the free PS+ game over the others. I could tell it was going to be a waste of time from the gameplay I sawI don't know how this got voted as the free PS+ game over the others. I could tell it was going to be a waste of time from the gameplay I saw on other platforms. Either the devs found a way to rig the voting process or people are just easily drawn in by faux retro style and bad puns. Repetitive and just plain boring, poor online play and lacking in features and mechanics- even for a "retro" game. The only reason I'm glad this won is that I didn't have to pay for it only to delete it a few hours later.… Full Review »

    I really wish this game could be better; I really, really do.

    As many of you may know this was given as "free" with PS+ this month, other    I really wish this game could be better; I really, really do.

    As many of you may know this was given as "free" with PS+ this month, other than Helldivers (which I already owned) I was really looking forward to a cooperative game I could play with friends online. Broforce does have this capability, do not misunderstand; the problem here is that the online-play is flawed at best.

    At first the online worked flawlessly, then when we got about 30% through the game it started spazzing out, reviving each other but it failing to actually revive, thus wasting the limited amount of lives you are given; input lag crippling the experience the whole way. I would like to confirm that this is not an internet problem on our end, we immediately played Smite and SFV to test and both worked completely fine.

    Another huge problem that happens both online and off (and this is common, not just me) is that at the beginning of the level the game won't receive your inputs for the first few seconds, however the game keeps going on, obviously this leads to a lot of BS deaths, which wouldn't be horrible if the loading screens weren't unnecessarily long.

    Overall the game would be decent for a single-player experience, if a bit short, but as an online experience this game is severely lacking as of right now, if the dev team fixes it's issues the game would be a solid 8/10.    … Full Review »
