Save the world in this bro-tastic game

Broforce Forever is a side-scrolling game with oodles of destruction and action-hero film references to entertain you as you run ‘n’ gun through several levels to save the day from evil. Featuring a wacky but nostalgic collection of iconic heroes for you to use in battle, your objective is to blast your way through the world to save captured Bros.

Besides that, you must also fight the boss at the end of each level, before planting an American flag in victory and riding a helicopter out of there. Employing similar world physics to Minecraft, Terraria, and LEGO games, you can also destroy absolutely anything in Broforce Forever.

Nothing is indestructible

Just like how old action movies love explosions, you can have your own pixelated carnage in Broforce Forever. It’s inevitable, anyway, with how much damage the various weapons and fighting styles do here in the game—the enemies can even destroy the environment themselves. You can set up traps this way in your playthrough since any action from you and the enemies will affect your surroundings and cause mayhem.

Regarding enemy NPC deaths, it’s just as messy as the roads being blasted away. The blood and carnage are obvious, even with the 8-bit pixels. The game doesn’t hold back with this classic trait in action films and the game’s overall theme only serves to make all the destruction look campy, just like its homage. However, such graphic depiction of gore and violence is not suitable for younger players.

An army of Bros

The game’s main appeal is in the large collection of iconic 80s action hero parodies with the word “bro” clumsily attached to their name. From “Rambro” to “Indiana Brones,” each character has a unique playstyle and weapon. Moreover, the game also thrives on the unpredictable nature of its world, and your starting character always being randomized only adds to the chaos that it wants to promote.

It’s going to be a real challenge, learning all of the Bros’ fighting styles and how you can use them in combat. Add in the four-player co-op mode and you can have your own hero squad with a bunch of muscly heroes with names as bad puns. Overall, it stays true to its love of the action genre and while the pixelated hunks of mass destruction look corny, each one has definitely been lovingly crafted to pay good homage to their designated icons.

Just fire away

All in all, Broforce Forever is focused more on its destructive fun rather than a good plot to keep players hooked. As a side-scrolling shoot ‘em up, it has a nice character and world design and the soundtrack pumps you up for several rounds of testosterone-filled chaos, but that’s all there is to it. It’s for those more into mindless gaming than deep introspection.
