The pixelart carnage that Broforce serves up visually really is in keeping with that late 80’s theme, it’s an audio-visual package that practically grows it’s own mullet, it’s so over the top and testosterone-fuelled.
BROFORCE PS4 UPDATE MOVIE
The pot luck nature of which character you’ll be next keeps things interesting and means you sometimes have to make tactical changes on the fly, mostly though, it’s just incredibly groan-inducing and not so secretly pleasing to see how Broforce manages to shoehorn ‘bro’ into movie character names. Truly it is a joy to see what comes next in this ‘spot the movie reference’ carousel, as the ensemble includes unsubtle nods to the onscreen heroic personas of stars like Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Sly Stallone, Harrison Ford, Keanu, Kurt Russell and beyond. Once you rescued a set number of prisoners, you’ll unlock a new character to join your roster, all inspired by those famous movie icons of yesteryear. Each character has their own weapon and special so you go from machine guns and grenades to swords and daggers and so on throughout each level, losing a life (provided you have spare ones in reserve) sees you back at the last checkpoint (a triumphantly-hoisted American flag) as a different Bro again.
You start off as a randomly-selected Bro from the starting pool, and each time you rescue a prisoner you turn into a different Bro. Take a ride in your helicopter to get to the level, then rescue hostages while raining death and destruction down upon the bad guys and ride off into the sky to the thrashing guitar rock that makes up the victory theme.
The basic objective of any given level in Broforce is fairly simple. It does recede after a while mercifully, and takes nothing away from the game itself. Whilst this is amusing for a while (including bro’d up names such as a Bruce Willis-inspired Bro Hard), it does feel a bit excessive, but I suppose that was the point: Broforce is a celebration of action movie and arcade excess after all. In the first ten minutes of Broforce the game averages a good two ‘bro’ puns per minute.
