Though reaching the other side of the screen is always the ultimate goal, Broforce does try to change it up a bit later on by adding mechs to commandeer and friendly soldiers to arm.


I think I was killed by falling rocks more often than I was killed by gun-toting soldiers or aliens. I took any advantage I could get though, because death is often quick and cheap. It was kind of a kick in the crotch when I would start tinkering with a new character and almost immediately have to switch to someone else to gain an extra life. Using the Bro in Black’s Noisy Cricket weapon or Brade’s sword to cleave through dumb enemies is a hoot, and the joy of earning the Bro-ified Ash Williams warmed my dark little heart. Still, unlocking characters is easily the highlight here. In practice, it’s usually not too bad, but some characters are incredibly situational, which leads to many a Bro’s death. Some will view this as part of the challenge, where players will need to remain flexible and be well-versed in all characters to be able to work their way towards Satan.

Herein lays the mechanic that separates Broforce from other side-scrolling shooters: when you gain a free life, a randomly-selected Bro will take the place of your current avatar. Save enough of them, and you’ll unlock new characters to play with.

It’s fun and frustrating in equal measure.Įach stage contains captured Bros that provide extra lives when rescued. If you really want to see how quickly you can screw yourself out of finishing a level, I recommend four player couch bro-op. Reckless use of explosives can lead to creating gaps that your Bros will not be able to pass, so even though Broforce tends towards chaos, some degree of caution is required to progress. Your task is to kill mooks from left to right while destroying practically everything on each stage. It plays like wearing a Monster Energy drink sweater while playing Contra.
