What is Broforce?

A 2D side-scrolling run-and-gun platformer about an overpowered paramilitary team fighting terrorists. Across destructible levels, you shoot enemies, trigger explosive chain reactions, and play as heroes with different weapons and special attacks, alone or in four-player co-op; competitive modes, time-attack levels, and a level editor are also included.

For you if...

  • +you want chaotic couch co-op with constant explosions
  • +you enjoy action-movie parodies and varied character weapons
  • +you like fast side-scrolling shooters with destructible levels

Not for you if...

  • −you dislike demanding late-game platforming and difficult bosses
  • −you prefer predictable hazards over chaotic accidental deaths
  • −you expect every hero to suit every situation

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.
