Coming in August

Broforcewas a side-scrolling riff on ’80s action movies, in which you’d take control of Rambro, B.A. Broracus and others to run ‘n’ gun through explosive levels. I feel like most of my runs would end because I blew myself up alongside the enemies.

On August 8th, Broforce is getting one final free update. Titled Broforce Forever, it adds six new bros, introduced in a trailer below.

The six new bros are Xebro: Warrior Princess, Demoition Bro, Burt Brommer, Seth Brondle, Broffy The Vampire Slayer, and Desperabro. If some of these seem like they’re stretching the “’80s actoin movies” premise I laid out in the introduction, please consider that the game already included the likes of the William Wallace-inspired Broheart. If they fight in a film, they’re fair game.

“There’s so much happening from moment to moment, so many systems at play, that when a stray explosion destroys the struts that are keeping a ceiling in place and the whole thing crashes down on an enemy squad, or a furious mechanised death machine stomps the ground so hard that it digs itself into a sinkhole, you barely even notice,” , wrote Adam when reviewing Broforceat launch. “Forget your Just Causes, your Uncharteds, your Battlfields and your Call of Duties – Broforce comes closer to capturing the beautiful chaos and heroic misadventures of a big budget action movie than any of them.”

High praise! It’s currentlyless than £3 on Steam.
