Broforce is a sublimely ridiculous Team America-inspired side-scrolling shooter packed to the gills with self-aware machismo. It’s out now on Steam Early Access, and developers Free Lives have released an accompanying trailer that demonstrates a few tactical moves and shows a new female Bro in action.
The new character is RipBro, an obvious reference to Aliens’ Ellen Ripley, complete with pulse rifle. She’s the first female Bro. Free Lives are promising many more additions to the team, presumably also based on memorable action stars.
Here’s Broforce’s list of features as described on its Steam page. Obvisouly as an Early Access game the usual caveats about missing content and work in progress apply. The full game is planned for a late Summer launch if you’d rather wait.
The Broforce: Deliver your own brand of shock and awe with dozens of bros each with their own unique weaponry and special attacks designed to dispatch freedom across the world.
Bro-Op & Deathmatch: Battle terrorism with up to four players in cooperative mode or sever ties with your bros and face each other in several bombastic competitive modes.
Explosion Run: Join up with other bros to tackle these unique time attack levels under the pressure of exploding terrains and mass chaos.
Fully Destructible Everything: Destructible terrain opens up a slew of strategic options while the abundance of Exploding Red Barrels of Justice™ can literally level the playing field with one shot.
Level Editor: Design your own playground of destruction with a robust level editor and become the envy of all the other bros by sharing them online. Browse through scores of custom user created levels and complete them to rate their Bro-ness.
