Broforce Critic Reviews

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.

You can't go wrong with Broforce: it's a blast of fun, a beautiful and addictive shoot'em up. Its a total package, wonderful to watch - with its gorgeous pixel-art style - and wonderful to play. A must. Period.

Simple concept, but incredibly amusing symphony of destruction with a strong multiplayer, spiced with humor and 80-90ties blockbuster references. No one should miss this arcade, no matter if single- or multiplayer.

Broforce sets a new standard for 2D action shooters. And it does it with style.

Free Lives Games managed to publish a game that seems to be a love child created from Metal Slug and best action movies. Fighting hordes of enemies, challenging boss fights and classic movie jokes are hugely satisfying.

Broforce is a conceptual triumph that could be successfully sold as a jokey bit of nostalgia, but what's truly amazing is how well it works on a moment-to-moment basis.

A hectic run and gun experience that is both fun to play and well designed.

A great game wrapped in every action movie ever.

It's an homage to the Metal Slug era, and it's incredibly well done. Best enjoyed with friends and some beers (if you're of age, both for this kind of game, and the alcohol).

Beneath Broforce’s hyperbolic chest-thumping action movie-inspired silliness lies an extremely polished run ’n gun platformer. Simple and reliable but nuanced and ever-changing (thanks to the constantly rotating characters) Broforce is testosterrific.

With more characters and levels on the way, Broforce is positioned to kick ass and take no prisoners for a long time to come.

Broforce finally explodes into its final release. The old-school difficulty might shock more casual indie players, but the pitch-black absurdist humor and deep, dynamic gameplay will keep you coming back for more.

Broforce feels like a new Contra. Tons of actions and tons of fun in one of the games we've most enjoyed playing cooperatively this year.

Explosive, difficult and gloriously daft: Broforce brings you pure testosterone in gaming form.

Broforce is, simply put, a love letter to every action movie ever made. Free Lives have taken the heroes we’ve all seen on the silver screen, thrown them into a 2D pixel environment, and created an insanely addictive, if not a little-too-difficult action game that can be enjoyed alone, or with friends. If you’ve ever enjoyed the likes of Contra, or even Metal Slug, you really shouldn’t miss out on this game.

Playing through Broforce’s campaign may have given me heartburn, but it’s an adventure I’d make all over again without hesitation.

If you like those old action movies and run & gun games, then Broforce has to be downloaded on you Steam library. Right now, bro.

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.

A great JRPG experience with tons of objectives to complete, characters to meet and speak with, superlative battles and hundreds of areas to explore.

Retro madness made videogame. An Adrenaline fueled shooter born into the 80's movies and pixels, Maybe too difficult for some, but that's the way the games were two decades ago.
