What is Broforce?
A 2D side-scrolling run-and-gun platformer about an overpowered paramilitary team fighting terrorists.

What players say

Players most often praise couch co-op, action-movie references, destructible stages, and the heroes' varied weapons. Common complaints focus on a late-game shift toward difficult precision platforming, bosses and hazards that cause seemingly random deaths, and uneven hero usefulness. Some recent players also report online desyncs, bugs, and performance drops.
