    This got voted up over Assault Android Cactus?

    The frame rate in this game is unbelievable. There are times when the FPS drops to single digits, what's the deal?!

    Game play is basic, but it's unplayable for most levels when the action gets intense.
    At least it was free.

    Fun game for a few minutes, but repetitive and unrewarding experience does not make this slightly broken game fun.

    Character choices were well done, and some were fun to play with, but the randomness of which character to play as is unwarranted and not fun. Blood splatter, sounds, and music were well done but overall the game needs more development time before being released to Sony    Fun game for a few minutes, but repetitive and unrewarding experience does not make this slightly broken game fun.

    Avoid this on the PS4.    … Expand

    This is no doubt a fun game and charming game. It's downfall is the game killing bugs and performance issues.

    Game load times incrementally increase as you progress (at 70%, I wait a good 30 seconds, staring at a blank screen with no sound.) Frame rate is ridiculous for something designed for an SNES. And controls are at a minimum glitchy; at the start of the level, you can move until    This is no doubt a fun game and charming game. It's downfall is the game killing bugs and performance issues.

    This game was fun for like an hour or two. Then, it got so boring that I just wanted to finish it. Probably in the top 10 for worst games I've ever played.

    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 saw on other platforms.

    Okay, deep breaths..... Right I'll begin.

    Sony yet again have given us another month of absolute trash, fobbing us off with ugly looking pixel games that make the Amiga 500 look like it had more processing power. This pixel art style doesn't represent the golden era, games didn't look like this. It's an ugly art style.

This pixel art style doesn't represent the golden era, games didn't look like this. It's an ugly art style. So please, young game developers who clearly didn't live in the 80's stop thinking you have the right to poorly imitate a beautiful art style from the days of early Nintendo and Sega.

    Broforce is dull. Within 20 minutes I was seriously bored and wanted to turn the game off. Its uninspiring moronic nonsense designed for fake alpha males who actually believe the crappy Chuck Norris memes.
    Yes when I was a kid Arnie movies were cool, so was Robocop and Rambo etc, but never did any child of the 80's wish for a rubbish pixel art game 20 years in the future that monotonously recycles the same puns all the way through the game as if that makes it trendy.

    The game-play is boring, the sound terrible, the controls stiff, the level design laughable and graphics pitiful.

    You basically shoot a few bad guys, rescue a few bro's, forcing you to play as characters you don't want to play with, get to the end of the level and repeat. The whole thing is a chore. I uninstalled after 20 mins and went back to waiting for Dark Souls 3.

    Please Sony, give us some decent ps+ games next month and please don't do vote to play again. Its clear the majority of fans are moronic teenage hipsters who wish they were part of my generation but completely misunderstand what it was like in the 80s and 90s. If you want retro buy a NES!!!

    In conclusion, utterly awful game. At least it was free because if I'd paid for this experience I'd probably be on a murder charge as it would likely have driven me to find the developer and insert a physical copy up his ass where it belongs causing him to suffer a horrible death from not been able to crap for 3 weeks!    … Expand

    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.

    A charming, uncommonly smart spiritual sibling to Contra, full of awesomely crafted homages to action cinema, but troubled on PS4 by a few bugs I'd like to nuke from Orbit. [May 2016, p.95]

    Despite some technical issues and minor frustrations, this parody of American patriotism and action hero stereotypes offers a hell of a lot of destructive fun. [Issue#268, p.74]
