It was Independence Day over the weekend, of course, a day for celebrating the victory of Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum over those despicable alien idiots. To mark the occasion, Broforce developer Free Lives is adding two new action hero Bros to the action-packed side-scrolling shooter in a new ’Freedom Update’.
First up you’ve got The Brocketeer, a jetpack-wearing hero based on the main character from the much underrated 1991 sci-fi flop The Rocketeer. Seriously, I really like that film, go watch it.
If flying isn’t your thing, perhaps whacking people with a claymore is? The second hero is Broheart, a sword-wielding warrior based on the ahistorical portrayal of a Scottish folk hero played by an American-born Australian.
Every Bro in the game, including the two new guys, can also increase their goon-murdering options by using some cool new melee moves; organ-punching, flip kicks and uppercuts. Plus, flexing. Yes, you can now intimidate the enemy by showing off your sick guns.
The update is available now, and you can check out the full patch notes over on Steam.
