**Broforce**
**Introduction**
**Broforce** is a side-scrolling platform game that combines classic arcade aesthetics with over-the-top action. Released on October 15, 2015, by the South African indie studio Free Lives and published by Devolver Digital, this game is a nostalgic homage to ’80s and ’90s action heroes. With its pixelated graphics and explosive gameplay, **Broforce** delivers a testosterone-fueled experience that channels the spirit of iconic action films.
**Gameplay**
**Broforce** is a run-and-gun platformer that puts you in the shoes of a hypermasculine action hero. Drawing inspiration from legendary action movie characters, each playable “bro” is a parody of famous film icons such as John Rambo, Indiana Jones, Bruce Lee, the T-800, and Ellen Ripley.
– **Characters:** You’ll be randomly assigned one of the action heroes at the start of each level, each with unique weapons and abilities. This randomness adds an element of strategy, as you’ll need to adapt to your hero’s specific skills and weaponry to complete missions effectively.
– **Multiplayer:** The game supports cooperative multiplayer, or as it’s known, “bro-op,” allowing you to team up with friends to tackle missions together.
– **Mission Structure:** The core objective in each level is to eliminate terrorists and rescue your fellow bros and prisoners of war. Rescued characters add to the pool of available bros, increasing your options as you progress. Each level concludes with a boss fight and ends with the hero making a dramatic exit via helicopter, all while the scenery erupts in explosions—because cool bros don’t look at explosions!
**Visual and Artistic Design**
**Broforce** features pixelated graphics reminiscent of classic arcade games such as Metal Slug and Contra. The game’s visual style is intentionally retro, celebrating the era of action films with a nostalgic charm. The explosions, over-the-top action, and destructible environments are designed to evoke the intensity and excitement of old-school action flicks.
**Story**
The story of **Broforce** is straightforward and action-driven. You play as a commando hero tasked with defeating terrorists and rescuing allies. Each level is a new mission where the goal is to save prisoners and your fellow heroes, who will then join your roster of playable characters. The narrative focuses on explosive action and high-octane gameplay rather than deep storytelling.
