Launch Trailer | The Ballad of Rambro | Freedom Update | Alien Infestation | Tactical Update

When evil threatens the world, the world calls on Broforce - an under-funded, over-powered paramilitary organization dealing exclusively in excessive force. Brace your loins with up to four players to run ‘n’ gun as dozens of different bros and eliminate the opposing terrorist forces that threaten our way of life. Unleash scores of unique weapons and set off incredible chain reactions of fire, napalm, and limbs in the name of freedom.

• The Broforce: Deliver your own brand of shock and awe with dozens of bros each with their own unique weaponry and special attacks designed to dispatch freedom across the world.
• Bro-Op & Deathmatch: Battle terrorism with up to four players in cooperative mode or sever ties with your bros and face each other in several bombastic competitive modes.
• Explosion Run: Join up with other bros to tackle these unique time attack levels under the pressure of exploding terrains and mass chaos.
• Fully Destructible Everything: Destructible terrain opens up a slew of strategic options while the abundance of Exploding Red Barrels of Justice™ can literally level the playing field with one shot.
• Level Editor: Design your own playground of destruction with a robust level editor and become the envy of all the other bros by sharing them online. Browse through scores of custom user created levels and complete them to rate their Bro-ness.

Reviews
The Escapist - 4.5/5

Broforce is a silly, but sincere love letter to iconic action movies, refined to perfection with rich environments and wonderfully-crafted enemies. Even when you're killed by an out-of-control explosion which you triggered, you'll be having an absolute blast with this game.

The Sixth Axis - 8/10

Carving your way through a level in Broforce is chock full of muscle flexing carnage, and it’s brilliant for it as explosions rock the screen and you tear through the scenery. Though inventive, some of the boss fights halt that fun, and the way co-op deals with lives is too unforgiving, but it’s always throwing out something new, whether it’s a different looking environment to blow up, a new type of enemy to blow up or another new bro to add to the team and blow things up with.

Videogamer - 7/10

Whether Broforce has the legs to keep you interested beyond a few days play is probably dependent on the amount of people that you can get to play it with you (it does have an online mode, but this feels like it should be in-person multiplayer, if only for the boiled piss), but it's a great laugh nonetheless.

Nice. I played the expendabros earlier in the year and liked that. I'm sure I'll pick this up at some point.

 

[RoninChaos]

Is this coming to consoles?

 

[Hoje0308]

No Bro-T? Missed opportunity, man.

Game looks awesome. Will wait for PS4, due to a shit PC.

PS4, not Vita anymore though

 

[r3n4ud]

Never thought this would ever leave EA.

Damn good coop game!

Played a little while in EA but was waiting for full release..

I hope the netcode has improved.

Oh well, is still a nice OT.

Asked a mod to edit the title

A regular OT isn't bro enough for Broforce

 

[Nudull]

I'm so tempted to buy this thanks to the launch trailer alone.

 

[Weltall Zero]

Holy shit, it was still on Early Access? It's been years since I bought it and it already felt complete. Any noteworty additions for release?

 

[Gentleman Jack]

co-op multiplayer requires a ton of patience. One bad environment destruction can kill the entire team and the random respawns can mess with your ability to coordinate. Still a challenging and entertaining little game.

 

[MisterNoisy]

Finished the

Alien

levels with a bunch of friends. This game is great if you have 4x XBox controllers on a PC hooked up to your TV. Not Duck Game great, but pretty great.

Menus and map got a cool visual overhaul, not sure what else

 

[UnluckyKate]

I was waiting for this to hit PS4 but I guess I will play it on PC. Great lauching price

 

[Ozium]

they added the final world and final boss and depending on when you last played it they added more bros and and the alien levels

 

[ricki42]

Kind of disappointed that they announced a Linux version in the "Ballad of Rambro" trailer, but haven't released one. From the Steam community discussion it sounds like they haven't even really worked on it at all. Hope they release it soon, game looks like fun.

 

[Haunted]

I think they captured more of the spirit of the characters they're parodying in the little character portraits than in the new big unlock art. I also liked the old general better. The new world map is cool.

That said, it's still the same fun, explosive, fast-paced Broforce gameplay it was in early access, so I recommend it for those who haven't checked it out yet.

 

[antitrop]

Yes, yes, BrOT would be perfect.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I'm not sure how to convince my friends to buy in. They've been cheapskates lately. Maybe I'll send some GIFs.

 

[Arttemis]

Damn, is been years since I played this on PC. I didn't realize it was still in development.

Instant purchase when it releases on PS4.

It's the only game where they can play as Neo, Rambo, and Blade to fight Xenomorphs

 

[IbizaPocholo]

I'm waiting for the ps4 version.

 

[Son of a Witch]

The final country is some of the most unfun shit I've ever played. So tedious and boring.

 

[More_Badass]

Original Ludum Dare version vs final game

 

[World SkiFree]

Game is fantastic, I've played quite a bit in Early Access. Highly recommended. Bro for it!

 

[Glass Shark]

I avoided playing this at all until it was out of Early Access. Really happy with the final product. It works shockingly well for something that started as a dumb joke in a Flash game.

You might be thinking of Dudebro.

Broforce started as a Ludum Dare 23 entry

[Raticus79]

The "YOU CAN'T ESCAPE FREEDOM" subtitle is quite clever.

 

[ricki42]

The Linux version is out now. Steam doesn't show it yet, but it downloads and runs well.

 

[ExitPlanetDust]

Anyone running this on a lower end system? The earlier free versions and even Expendabros ran alright on my 2.26 GHz Core 2 Duo Macbook with 8 GB of ram (in Win7 and OS X). The recommendations and requirements on Steam make me think I might need to wait for the console release though.

 

[thesaucetastic]

Iron Bro is impossible, god damn.

 

[Haunted]

The final final final boss is a real motherfucker.

 

[The 8-Bit Raider]

PS4, not Vita anymore though

I'm definitely picking this up for the PS4. I'm surprised this isn't releasing on the Xbox One... parity clause?

That's what the devs sad, but the Xbox ID guy posted on NeoGAF saying otherwise

[Haunted]

Finally beat that boss, pretty tough fight, one of the few instances in the game where it wasn't really possible to bullshit your way through and had to learn the patterns, as well as get lucky with the right character.

My bro Ash finally did it. That chainsaw special is devastating.

Well, what the xbox ID guy said doesn't contradict that the devs hold the parity clause responsible for a lack of contact and communication between the two parties. It boils down to which company is inviting and open and which company talks mostly about restrictions and didn't reach out. Sony came up to them and worked out a deal, MS didn't and still isn't.

 

[Mikeside]

I started playing this last night, not really expecting it to shine.

Wowsers. This game is awesome. I love that from dying/completing a level to starting the next one is basically a couple of seconds - Helps make the game very hard to put down.

 

[glow]

Noticed some cool improvements in the final build

- stable framerate during big multiple effects going on simultaneously like rain, explosions, aliens, acid
- you can juggle enemy grenades with guns
- some nice looking post fx
- Indiana Brones' whip and special more powerful but he's still the weakest bro imo
- harder to cheat your way through boss battles

 

[Ollie Pooch]

Expendabros was hilarious and fun. Gonna pick this up, great price! Not sure I wanna wait for the PS4 one.

 

[Glass Shark]

That final boss was brutal. I think I died more in that fight than in the whole rest of the campaign put together. Finally had to cheese it with Broheart.

 

[More_Badass]

An 8.8 from IGN

 

[nded]

I got caught off guard and had to beat

the first satan fight

twice because there is no checkpoint before the escape sequence starts.

 

[Raptomex]

Played this on and off through it's EA. Glad to see it finally released. Love it.

 

[King Endymion]

My bro forced me to play thorugh the beta and Expandabros and I'm glad he did, I love it, can't wait for the PS4 version.
I loved the Homer Simpson scream in the beta, made me chuckle every time, I heard they removed it? :/

 

[Decado]

How is the online net code for bro-op?

 

[ArjanN]

The final final final boss is a real motherfucker.

Haha, yeah, I saw a lot of complaints about him, but personally I liked the challenge though, considering you can just sort of brute force your way through most of the regular game.

Also, the ending was pretty cool.
