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. The Castīro Caesar | Bro Christmas | Broney Ross | Trent Broser | Bronar Jenson | Broc | Toll Broad About BroforceWhen evil threatens the world, the world calls on Broforce - an under-funded, over-powered paramilitary organization dealing exclusively in excessive force. Rescue your brothers in arms and play as seven different legendary soldiers – each with their own unique weapons and special attacks – with up to four players at once in local multiplayer co-op mode. Battle in a flurry of bullets and non-stop action through ten full-throttle missions set amongst the picturesque tree tops and the absurdly dangerous lumber mills teeming with enemy soldiers, excessive artillery, and inconveniently placed circular saws. It isn’t really worth any money, but it didn’t really make me want to buy and play the game that it was advertising, BroForce, very much either.The Expendabros have assembled and set their sights on the forces of ruthless arms dealer Conrad Stonebanks in the forests of Eastern Europe. It is, however, free, and only takes an hour or so to complete. Final Summary While the game has an amusing aesthetic, and the core idea of switching between characters is neat, the gameplay itself falls down, and given that games like this live or die on their gameplay, it isn’t a very good game. There are overtones of comedy in the game, but unfortunately it is very sparse it only appears from time to time, and the shouting, overexcited narrator, while funny at first, actually gets kind of boring after a while. The cutscenes are made to look like 16-bit era cutscenes and look nice enough. Graphics The game has very 8-bit graphics and in actual gameplay looks quite ugly. On the whole, while I really enjoyed the idea behind the characters, I didn’t really feel like the actual core gameplay of killing enemies was as good as it was in games like Contra. As you start out each stage with a single life, it is generally wise to save all the people you can, but this also means sometimes you’ll be switched to a character with an inferior moveset – in particular, the knife-using character and the minigun toting character were generally the worst, the knife-using character due to sharply limited range while the minigun toting character suffered from knockback from using his basic attack and a difficult-to-control special ability which oftentimes missed enemies, leaving them alive to kill you. This is both interesting and annoying, because these allies also constitute “lives”, switching you to a new random bro at the last checkpoint if you die. Ammunition can be picked up in the levels to recharge your ammunition, and you can switch characters by finding a captured character in the level and rescuing them, at which point you switch to a different random character you have unlocked. There are a number of characters in the game, each with their own unique moveset – a normal attack, which has unlimited ammo, and a special attack, which is use-limited to varying amounts by different characters. The AI is also quite dumb and won’t really pursue the player at all, which means that retreat is very frequently easy. This makes the game quite easy overall, and apart from a few missile turrets and a couple bosses, there isn’t much variation in the opposition. On the downside, the enemies are very stupid and only attack when you get close to them the trouble is that while they kill you in one hit, most of the time they can be rather easily killed without them even having the opportunity to shoot. Somewhat unusually for the genre, the terrain in the game is fully destructible, meaning that everything except for checkpoints, ladders, and a few steel blocks which are distributed in some parts of some levels can be destroyed. Gameplay The game is a fairly standard run-and-gun type game in some respects you control a character, you have a very limited number of attacks but a variety of possible attack sets, in this game represented by different characters instead of different weapons, and there are explosive barrels around in the environment which can be used to destroy enemies. The story is barely mentioned and is very clearly an excuse plot. Story You are trying to free your bros and kill the bad guy. 1h 6m PlayedThe Expendabros is a free run-and-gun video game based on BroForce and The Expendables 3, meant to promote both properties.
