Broforce

This game is a fun call back to 80s action movies, 90s video games, and is a ridiculous adventure in Americana. I played the first half in co-op with a friend, but he stopped playing so I decided to finally finish this solo. It's way better co-op, but not a bad platformer "run n gun" even alone.

It's under 10 hours for the main story with additional custom levels, and special optional missions. If you pick it up, probably a sale game but worth every quarter in the machine.

guys stucked at 24 percent in campaign, and cant see more missions... what is the problem?

yeah its good but i have 96% on hard and i cant get higher even if i completed full game

A very dumb but fun as hell game with over the top patriotism, action movie tropes and fun shooting and explosions, very fun!

Stupid(ly) fun. Would recommend. Can get harder on later levels but that's a good thing.

the shit this game brought into my day could not be amounted or measured by our primitive human tools, game didn't just stop me from having a bro night and play co-op at peace, better yet it crashed my mf steam account. ZABA

I couldn't play online with my friend even though we both have the game. On top of that, this piece of crap crashed my Steam when I tried using Remote Play, and I was locked out for nearly an hour. If you're thinking of playing online, don't bother—this trash-ass game will only give you a migraine.

great game. honestly some of the best co op iv'e played since Crash Bash and really compares well against other 2-D platformer games. Try buy on sale but don't let the price tag deter you, this game is worth every cent. so much replayability.

Guns n' bombs, baby. Guns n' bombs.

This game is so fun I love it. The base game is already good, but with the amount of custom community missions there are, I could play this forever (and basically have)

Playing
alone: sometimes fun sometimes frustrating,
couch co-op: FUN FUN FUN
online co-op: Laggy, glitchy, buggy.

A game about fighting tyrrany, making new friends, and at the end of a hard road finding Jesus Christ.

Rest In Texas.

i first got this on PlayStation, and have yet to 100% on either, but i do remember going in and starting a new campaign every time something was going wrong in my life, which was a lot. i love this game and it will forever be one of my favorites.

Very cool game for killing the time but you have to get a controller

The fun factor is off the charts. Great platform game. I have thoroughly enjoyed playing.

no updates... project is abandoned

Its fun, its cheap, it plays fast, multiplayer, funny, great theme, runs on a potatoe.

Broooooooooooo. Such a good game. I played solo and on the steamdeck. I went into this game with very little known about it outside of a few videos. Was completely different than expected. The bro unlocks and the destruction is unreal. No one path. The story is played out mostly through level design and bosses. The game starts off one way, throws a twist, then ends with some epic challenges, 100% recommend the game.

its not very fun, it uses a lot of BS techniques to try and kill you (forced sidescrollers, off-screen shooting, etc.)
do not buy this game.

Brooooo!
Side-scrolling, over-the-top exploding, broforce to be reckoned with! A ton of fun with just enough of a "story" to be worth pushing through. Every new bro you unlock is worth playing as.

One of those games you can’t forget, the gameplay is weirdly addictive, the plot line is hilariously over-patriotic, and the characters you can unlock all feel unique for the most part.

If you think 90s action moves are over the top, just wait till you play this. I don't think you could pack more action/chaos in a sideshooter ever. Played through solo, I bet in co-op it's even more chaotic and fun

took me 25 hours to complete the campaign, I enjoyed every single minute of it.

This is a game that I keep coming back to any time I need a quick dose of arcady fun.... or maybe it's freedom. Either way, the game is a blast. Give it a try if this is still sitting in your wishlist.

All jokes aside, I like broforce, it's over the top in a good way and has plenty of references for those into movies and comics. It's a fun game with some challenging aspects, and it's fun as a multiplayer game.

Great couch co-op experience with my little Bros. Been looking for something like this for a long time.

Great platforming-action for chilly local co-op walkthrough

Bazen insanın sabrını sınayan, ama arkadaşlarla her zaman keyifli bir oyun. Karakterlerin sık değişimi ve birbirinden farklı mekanizmaları oyuna çeşit ve derinlik katıyor.

Actually really fun, wish more people played multiplayer

Expect to die later on in campaign

Well, bullet hell, frustrating, compulsive, story non-existent, unnerving tricks like enemies firing at you off screen, the jokes wear out quickly if you are over 15. I seriously need to better consider what I buy when on sale

10/10 everything is constant chaos, explosions, and fun especially with friends. FREEDOM!

Quick Review

Broforce is a rouge-like, side-scroller shooter game in the likes of Contra.

It has a nice looking pixel art style and the campy theme of movie heroes as "Bros" is amusing. Audio and music are fine.

Gameplay is... not for everyone. While it starts off somewhat fair and balanced, by the mid-game it devolves into bullet/explosion hell and all you do is die all the time. For American movie hero Bros, it's kind of silly that they die from literally everything in one hit while enemies, of course, take multiple shots to kill. Great gameplay balance /s

Also, the Bros you get in most missions are randomized and some are definitely way more useful than others.

It's a cute concept but it's plagued by improperly balanced gameplay and a lack of explanation for what they expect you to do in some missions. This will only appeal to the only most diehard, rouge-like fans. Casual fans, be prepared for hours of frustration.

That said, I can tell it's well-made and has a certain amusing appeal so it barely squeaks by with a recommend.

6/10

get it on sale. fun deck game. everything go boom

No lie i love this game, it's very fun and creative only downside would be the achievements are demanding

Broforce is an absolutely exhilarating and over-the-top action-packed experience that perfectly captures the essence of explosive mayhem and unrestrained freedom. With its chaotic, pixel-art destruction, an arsenal of ridiculously powerful weapons, and a roster of action-hero-inspired bros, every moment feels like an adrenaline-fueled tribute to classic action films. The game’s fully destructible environments and relentless waves of enemies create an ever-evolving battlefield where players can carve their own path of destruction. Whether you're blasting through walls, dodging fiery explosions, or liberating everything in sight, Broforce delivers nonstop, high-octane fun with an unapologetic dose of patriotic absurdity

The game is easy and fun at the same time. Recommended to play with friends, will definitely get six packs.

I could not play this for more than 10 minutes

My Love, BroForce – A Romance for the Ages

BroForce, you changed me. You changed me in ways that no other game could. The sheer testosterone coursing through my veins right now? It's like Rambro but with more explosions. I’m talking about the kind of manliness that makes you feel like your muscles are flexing even when you’re sitting down. You, BroForce, have given me abs I didn’t know I had.

Every character is so BRO-tastic that I’ve honestly considered legally changing my name to Bro-some McBro. I have never felt more like a TRUE AMERICAN HERO than when I’m mowing down terrorists and saving my bros one explosion at a time. The sheer amount of Bros and the differences and the details in each bro is astionishing. I even asked President Trump to make BroForce a real thing and, yes, to induct me as an official member. Bro... I'm ready to serve.

The jokes? Don’t even get me started. The comedy is so on point that I almost forgot I was destroying an entire city block with a grenade launcher. The randomness of this broventure means I’m always on my toes, waiting for the next plot twist that’ll send me flying into a blaze of glory.

Pros:

Buff men – These dudes aren’t just tough, they’re flexing with the power of a thousand suns.
America – This game is so American, it makes bald eagles cry.
Anti-Terrorist – There’s no such thing as overkill when it comes to fighting for freedom.
Masculinity – I feel more manly after every explosion. A true masterpiece.
BroForce – The greatest force to ever walk the earth.
Bros – There’s nothing stronger than the bond of bros. Except maybe grenades.
Guns – Did I mention the guns? More guns than your local arsenal.
Explosions – If it doesn’t explode, are you even playing BroForce?
Flex Taunt-Is there anything better than taunting your enemies with your superior muscles?
Cons:

N/A – How can there be any cons to something so brofect?
Honestly, if you find a con in this game, you’re probably not flexing hard enough.

BroForce is more than a game. It’s a lifestyle. It’s the only game where being a bro is not only acceptable, but required. I’ll never look at an explosion the same way again.

I can't believe I never heard of this game before!

I was looking for a game like Contra to just have fun shooting nonstop, and this was beyond perfect.

I love how dynamic the game is, I've spent 5 hours so far but I feel like it's been just a while.

The tone is perfect, reminds me a lot of Team America World police by the South Park guys.

I'm looking forward to trying this one out with my girlfriend on Co-op this weekend.

Definitely recommend it!

I ridiculous, gratuitously violent, chaotic, explosion fest....

And I love every second of it. Fueled by gunpowder, nostalgia, sweat and gains, it's hard not to fall in love with this game. If you ever saw an explosion and went "Hell Yeah" this game is for you. We are all Bros bro!

Whenever I need to grow my beard back, I just play this game for an hour. Would recommend.

A great game filled with some thrills, laughs and surprising difficulty. Perfect for a session of couch co-op or remote play. It's on sale regularly for $2.99 and I absolutely recommend picking it up at that price.

Review: Broforce – A Chaotic, Explosive Love Letter to ’80s Action Movies
If you’ve ever wanted to punch Satan in the face while draped in the stars and stripes, Broforce is your game. This side-scrolling, explosion-filled romp is a hilarious, over-the-top tribute to ’80s action heroes, American patriotism (with a heavy dose of satire), and pure, unadulterated chaos. With its destructible environments, ever-evolving challenges, and a roster of muscle-bound parodies like Rambro, Bro Dredd, and The Brominator, Broforce is a 9/10 masterpiece of mayhem that never takes itself seriously—and that’s exactly why it’s so addictive.

Gameplay: Freedom, Firepower, and Freedom™
The core loop is simple: shoot everything, blow up even more, and rescue POWs to unlock new “bros” (each parodying iconic action heroes or movie characters). But don’t let the simplicity fool you—Broforce demands skill. Enemy types escalate from rogue militia to aliens to literal demons, forcing you to adapt your strategy. One minute you’re mowing down terrorists in a desert (complete with oil barrels labeled “Freedom Juice”), the next you’re battling Satan himself in a fiery hellscape. The controls are tight, the action is frantic, and the power-ups (like teleportation or super jumps) add just enough absurdity to keep every run fresh.

The Bro Roster: Parody at Its Finest
The game’s genius lies in its shameless, loving mockery of action cinema. Every “bro” is a hyper-masculine caricature:

Rambro: Bandana-clad, machine-gun-toting freedom dispenser.

Bro in the Shell: A cyborg bro with a sword (yes, it’s Ghost in the Shell meets RoboCop).

Brochete: A jungle warrior with a machete and a grudge (Predator fans, rejoice).
Each bro has unique abilities, encouraging experimentation. Want to slice enemies with Wolverine claws? Play Xebro. Prefer raining rockets like Schwarzenegger? The Brominator has your back.

Destructible Everything: Play Your Way
The terrain isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a playground. Blast through walls, collapse bridges, or tunnel underground like a pixelated Godzilla. This sandbox approach means no two playthroughs are the same. Need to bypass a sniper nest? Just blow up the floor beneath it. Trapped in a cave? Carve your own exit. It’s like Minecraft meets Metal Slug, and it’s glorious.

Humor: Satire So Thick You Could Grill It
Broforce doesn’t just parody action tropes—it skewers them. The story mode pits you against generic “terrorists,” aliens, and eventually Satan, all while the game winks at U.S. interventionist tropes. The dialogue is packed with one-liners (“I’ll be bro”), and even the loading screens mock action-movie clichés. It’s dumb, it’s loud, and it’s exactly what it wants to be.

Why Not a 10?
The chaos can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially in co-op (which, while fun, descends into friendly-fire anarchy). A few bros feel underpowered compared to others, and the difficulty spikes late-game might frustrate casual players. But these are minor quibbles in an otherwise stellar package.

Verdict: Freedom Never Felt So Fun
Broforce is the video game equivalent of a summer blockbuster: explosive, ridiculous, and impossible to put down. Whether you’re soloing the campaign or teaming up with friends for co-op carnage, it’s a love letter to action junkies and satire lovers alike. Grab your gun, salute the flag, and remember: in Broforce, there’s no problem that can’t be solved with more explosions.

Score: 9/10
“Bro, please—play this game.”

If you love fast-paced action, epic explosions, and a heavy dose of nostalgia from 80s and 90s action movies, Broforce is the perfect game for you! Developed by Free Lives Games, this shoot 'em up puts you in control of a squad of over-the-top patriotic heroes, each inspired by iconic movie characters.

With addictive gameplay, charming pixel art graphics, and chaotic cooperative multiplayer, Broforce delivers pure adrenaline and fun. Get ready to demolish environments, face absurdly challenging enemies, and save the world in style.

Whether playing solo or with friends, Broforce is an explosive blast of entertainment from start to finish! 🔥💥

Really really great game. The gameplay mechanics are wonderful and the characters absolutely amazing. I love that they used a lot of famous action characters. Perfect!

Great game, Great bros!
Great movie villains and foes!

Absolutely great game with a lot of dry Team America-esque humour 🗽Total chaos. Even more so in multiplayer

"Would you recommend this game to other players?"
HELL YEAH
FREEDOM RAHHHHHHHHHH 🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸

Fast and tons of fun! Sometimes you just need to drop into some testosterone fuelled stupidity.

It's unplayable with three people, you have to be very careful not to destroy the map and kill each other.
