 What is BROFORCE? A 2d action platformer with offline and online multiplayer where you play as action heroes fighting terrorists and liberating the areas with guns and explosions!  How can I buy it? It is currently in Beta, and you can buy it from the website for $15. Buying it gets you access to the Beta that you can download and play as well as a Steam key for when it is out on steam. When is it available on Steam? It will be on Steam Early Access this March. I hate Early Access Well then you'll have to wait. Currently the game has a fair bit of content: Over 15 different 'Bros' you can unlock and then play as, a fair selection of levels in the campaign, Level Editor, Online and Offline MP (Including Co-Op and Deathmatch). Most recent update video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1DTgY1hqKw Other stuff: You can play the Alpha build for free but it hasn't had updates since Last year. Every time you break a cage and rescue a hostage you change character, the more hostages you rescue the more characters you unlock, changing character also resets your ammo count for special attacks. All Bros (apart from Indiana Brones who has an infinite use whip) have a special attack that ranges from grenades to air strikes to making enemies panic and fight each other, you can get more ammo for these special by breaking open crates with  on them or by changing character from respawning or hostage rescuing. High five your buddy in multiplayer by meleeing at each other to go into bullet time. Current Bros (Thanks LvK)

I guess here's a quick and dirty look at the cast so far. (* indicates that I haven't spent much time with them and may be wrong) Ash Brolliams (Ash Williams, Evil Dead trilogy) Weapon: Double barrel shotgun - short range, low speed, disgustingly high power. Fires twice consecutively. Special: Chainsaw - Runs fast, chops up absolutely everything in his way. 1 charge. Notes: As far as I can tell, he's bulletproof during the chainsaw spree, but will die if he plows into an explosive. B.A. Broracus (B.A. Baracus, The A-Team) Weapon: Flamethrower - Very short range, but constant high damage output. Very useful for carving holes in the ground. Special: Cluster bomb - Explosion that slowly spreads outwards. 3 charges. Boondock Bros (Murphy and Connor MacManus, The Boondock Saints) Weapon: Dual pistols - Rapid firing, weak, moderate spread. Special: Summon backup (more on this in a sec). 1 charge. Notes: There are two of these guys. One will always try to follow the other, and will attack voluntarily if endangered. If one Boondock Bro dies, the other one will turn red and temporarily become faster, more powerful, and fire faster. Performing the special attack with one Boondock Bro down will revive the second one. Doing it with both alive will summon Il Duce (Il Broce?), who increases firepower even further. Brade (Blade, Blade) Weapon: Sword - Short range, extremely fast, sucks at breaking blocks. Special: Flying sword dash - Soars through air, cutting through anything it touches. 3 charges. Notes: Brade is particularly fast and has a very high jump to compensate for his lack of range. Bro Dredd (Judge Dredd, Dredd [or, fine, Judge Dredd, or just the comics, whatever]) Weapon: Lawgiver - Moderate rate of fire, shots bounce. Special: Guided missile - Leaves Dredd exposed, lets player remotely control a high explosive missile. 3 charges. Bro Hard (John McClane, Die Hard) Weapon: Dual SMGs - Super fast rate of fire, low power. Still carves through terrain like nobody's business. Special: Flashbang - Stuns and confuses enemies in a large area. 3 charges. Bro in Black (Agent J, Men in Black) Weapon: Noisy Cricket - Fast, huge explosion, huge kickback. Will send player flying, but not very easy to control. Special: Neuralyzer - Large beam stuns any enemy in its path. 3 charges. Brobocop (Robocop, Robocop) Weapon: Auto-9 pistol - Shots can be charged up to release a barrage of powerful bullets at once. Special: Targeting system - Leaves Brobocop exposed, but displays a timed aiming guide onscreen, that can be used to 'mark' opponents. When time is up, super-powerful bullets curve and cut through almost anything to reach and hit the targets. 3 charges. Brochete (Machete, Machete films) Weapon: Throwing machetes - Low range, moderate-high power, one-two projectile. Special: Machete storm - Freezes in place, fires a barrage of high-power knives in an outward cone formation. This attack's aim can be adjusted once started. If started in midair, Brochete slowly floats downwards. 3 charges. note: Brochete seems to have a special property on his basic projectiles, where an enemy will get skewered and fly backwards with the knife. Not entirely sure what exactly this entails, yet, but I think it damages any enemy that it hits. Brodell Walker (Cordell Walker, Walker, Texas Ranger) Weapon: Pump-action shotgun - Slow, wide spread, good power. Special: Air strike beacon - Throws grenade, five missiles (guided by big red lasers) aim at beacon from upper left corner at 45 degree angle. These hit whatever's in their way, so they likely won't hit targets in an underground cave. 3 charges. Brominator (Terminator model T-800, Terminator movies) Weapon: Minigun - Slow startup, high rate of fire, high power. Acts as a backwards propulsion device from recoil alone. Special: Shed exoskeleton - Go full robot, turn invincible, significantly reduce knockback from firing minigun. 1 charge. Notes: Extremely slow and heavy, especially in endoskeletonal mode. Probably don't want to try risky jumps with this guy. Also, I wasn't kidding about the backwards propulsion device - he can literally fly across the level if used right. Brommando (Col. John Matrix, Commando) Weapon: FLASH rocket launcher - Slow, powerful rocket launcher. Brommando can not directly kill himself with the blast from this. Special: Rocket salvo - Fires 5 rockets in rapid succession, that have longer range and do extreme damage. 3 charges. Bronan the Barbarian (Conan the Barbarian, Conan the Barbarian [Arnie version, natch]) Weapon: Broadsword - Does powerful slash projectile with a large vertical hitbox, can charge to increase range (and power?) of slashes. Special: Overhead slam - Releases hilarious Arnie yell, leaps into air, tears poo poo up with a huge forward-traveling shockwave. 3 charges. Col. James Brodock (Missing in Action trilogy, specifically Braddock: Missing in Action 3 Weapon: Rotary Grenade Launcher - Slow, medium range, launches large projectiles that bounce off of walls and cause damage (and stun) to enemies before exploding. Kind of like a portable coconut gun, but with a timed bang. Special: "Fireworks" grenade. Shoots one large grenade at medium range. Doesn't seem to bounce as much as primary attack. Sits and then explodes, sending a cluster (how many?) of smaller grenades into the air, which come back down and explode on their own timer. 3 charges. Broniversal Soldier (Pvt. Luc Deveraux/GR44, Universal Soldier series) Weapon: Single shot rifle. Slow rate of fire, medium range. Shoots huge, slow projectiles. Doesn't seem to be too powerful? Special: Revival charge. Short range pulse that revives fallen teammates and foes to fight alongside you, mirroring your inputs as best they can. 5 charges. *Cherry Broling (Cherry Darling, Planet Terror) Weapon: Prosthetic leg assault rifle - Long range, high power, high speed, can only aim down. "Pushes" Cherry a bit, letting her hover. Will aim slightly in the opposite direction of the direction pushed while in midair (meaning that hovering right will cause her to shoot left.) Special: Underslung grenade launcher - Long range, moderately high explosive. Can similarly only aim down. I think it gives her an extra push in midair? 5 charges. Ellen Ripbro (Ellen Ripley, Alien duology) Weapon: M41A Pulse Rifle - Medium repeating fire, long range, stuns enemies and 'charges' them. Shooting them enough causes an explosion (not a gib, a full-on blast). Special: M240 Flamethrower - Releases a tall burst of fire that slowly moves forward. Hella damaging to enemies. 3 charges. Indiana Brones (Indiana Jones, Indiana Jones trilogy) Weapon: Whip - Short-medium range, comes out fast, very weak damage. Causes enemies to run when cracked. Can be used as a grappling hook, a la Worms. Special: Revolver - Slow rate of fire, long range, hell of fast. Small explosion when it hits a target, seems to go through targets it doesn't kill. Still has the flare gun sprite. 5 charges. MacBrover (Angus MacGyver, MacGyver) Weapon: Sticky bomb - Low-range arced lob, if used up-close it will stick to walls and enemies. Explodes shortly after landing. Special: Decoy - Causes enemies nearby to become curious and gather around it. Creates large explosion on detonation (pressing special button again). 3 charges. Notes: Enemies will try to line up near the same location as the decoy, even if they are above or below it. Planting a bomb directly on an enemy will usually cause them to flip out and run away. Nebro (Neo, The Matrix trilogy) Weapon: Punch - No range, quick combos. Special: Bullet time - Creates a shield around Nebro, that slows down bullets and returns them to sender. Turns red as it decays. 3 charges. Special 2: Matrix jump - Performed by pressing a direction and melee while not in melee range. Nebro will fly through the air until reaching an obstacle, at which point he'll hit with great impact (usually destroying a layer or two of the ground and anything on it). The Matrix jump can be combo'd together in midair, but the same direction can't be used twice in a row (so, for instance, "left, up" will work, "up, up" will not). Rambro (John Rambo, Rambo series) Weapon: M60 machine gun - Rapid fire, large spread. Your basic machine gun. Special: Grenade - No frills thrown explosive. Rambro just gets more than anyone else. 5 charges. Snake Broskin (Snake Plissken, Escape from New York/Escape from LA [totally wearing the LA attire, though]) Weapon: Coreburner rifle - Lower rate of fire, but long range and high power with no spread whatsoever. Special: Molotov cocktail - Explodes on impact with anything, covering the nearby area completely in fire. 3 charges. Timebro (Agent Max Walker, Timecop) Weapon: Burst rifle - Medium-Long range, fires a short burst of high-speed rounds, with a slight delay between bursts. Special: Time Slow - Slows down time for everyone and everything but the player. 2 charges. EXPENDABROS-ONLY CHARACTERS: Based on the Expendables 3 cast. We want Jet Li! Broney Ross (Barney Ross) Weapon: Colts akimbo - Medium-short range, high speed and power. Special: Sticky bombs - Throws three at once. Short range, short arc, stick to any object/surface before exploding on timed fuses. 3 charges. Bro Christmas (Lee Christmas) Weapon: Throwing knives. Fires off five at once in very rapid succession, at (very) slightly varied heights and short range. Special: Knife flurry. Fires off a poo poo ton of knives at a low arc, landing in a wide area in front of Christmas. Lasts a second or two, locks Christmas in place, but can be switched from side to side. 3 charges. Trent Broser (Trench Mauser) Weapon: Automatic shotgun (slug-loaded) - Medium firing speed, high power, high projectile speed, medium range. Special: Air strike - Long-range grenade, upon landing it calls down five missiles from the upper left corner of the stage. The same notes as Brodell Walker apply. 3 charges. note: I think Broser's airstrike shots are spaced apart wider than Walker's. Bronar Jenson (Gunnar Jensen) Weapon: Rotary grenade launcher. Slow, medium range and arc. Sticks to anything. Explodes with a long fuse. Special: R/C bomb. Forfeits control of Bronar momentarily to take control of a remote control car. The car can hop and climb ledges. Firing again causes a large explosion. The car itself causes enemies to panic. 3 charges. Bro Caesar (Hale Caesar) Weapon: Minigun. Long range, high power, high speed, slow startup. Special: Shockwave slam. Leaps into the air, propelling self forward with minigun. Lands down with a tall, medium-wave shockwave that travels across the ground level that Caesar lands on (and destroys said ground.) During flight, Caesar shoots at a 45 degree angle down and back from himself. 3 charges. Note: Caesar is lighter than the Brominator and, as such, can still fly across the level with his gun. Broctor Death (Doctor Death) Weapon: Sword. Very short range, quick attacks. Holding a direction alters the attack (forward-stepping swipes for left and right, jumping uppercut for up, jumping ground stab for down. The left and right ones can combo into each other.) Special: Dashing thrust. Fast dash, carves through environment (with a pretty tall hitbox - he carves out like three blocks above him.) Pushes enemies and physics objects together, and destroys them at the end. I think it might make him invincible during the dash itself? I forgot to check. 3 charges. Toll Broad (Toll Road) Weapon: Shotgun with Dragon's Breath rounds. Medium-slow firing, very short range. Destroys blocks easily (hits multiple times?), lights enemies and objects on fire. Special: Fireburst grenade. Large grenade with 'heavy' arc, bursts into several smaller projectiles that slowly arc towards the ground and ignite anything in their path. 3 charges.

Geokinesis posted:Nice, although Brodell Walker's special summons 5 missiles rather than 3! Noted. Fixed a few other things, too. I'm still not entirely sure how the Boondock Bros work. Sometimes it seems like the CPU-controlled bro will only ever stab on his own, and one time I think the dead bro regenerated without me activating the special? That last part might just be a glitch, since I literally just got a glitch where the dead bro was dropping disappearing corpses of himself every time he left the ground.

Bought it and I'm having a blast. You can go in just just blow everything away, but you can also try to be stealthy, which is a lot of fun. The footsteps noise cracks me up for some reason. The only thing missing for me is more comprehensive controller support. I'm on a mac and can't find a way to use my ps3 controller. Anyone know of a joy2key-like thing for osx?

I've only seen a 360 controller driver on OSX. It works incredibly well. Might be a solution if nothing else shows up. Also, what does the current build have over the older demo other than just more characters? I'm swaying back and forth on wanting to jump in on this. The controls are just so solid.

Well, there might still be a chance. The first Broforce newsletter had concept art of an Aliens/Contra inspired level so here's hoping that it's still coming.    Also, it's so terrible that it took so long for me to realise that was the guy that played Hicks.

Question about Co-Op. I would assume there is online co-op, but can you do single computer local co op too? We're looking to play this at a LAN we have coming up and we're hoping to connect some 360 controllers and play it on the big screen. Secondly, Xbox 360 Gamepad support? I assume it has gamepad support, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to double check.

Sometimes I have trouble with this game but then I think maybe the best way to play it is like Hotline Miami where the true playstyle to properly sync with the atmosphere is to just to all in without thinking shooting your guns and swinging your swords/fists like a madman and blowing poo poo up always.

Loved the demo, just bought it early access. We played some 4 player at lunch, it still owns. It also looks like they added some kind of crazy backflip when you're jumping out and up at an overhang. It kind of catapults you upwards, it's pretty rad. I'm still not exactly sure how to trigger it, need to mess around with that more. edit: oh drat there's online coop AND competitive stuff now? this game triad fucked around with this message at 22:12 on Apr 8, 2014 |

haven't had too much time to play with the new Steam build, but some things of note: -It seems that Bro in Black's gun has significantly less recoil -The knife slashes now drag you forward (with all characters?) and it gets kind of annoying occasionally -The Dolph Lundgren boss' AI is WAY more timid now, to the point of being annoying and hard. My suggestion is to just get in close and knife him so he keeps doing his giant bowser superjump until he punches a hole through the bottom of the screen. also, haven't had MUCH chance to play with the new character, but: Ellen Ripbro (Ellen Ripley, Alien duology) Weapon: M41A Pulse Rifle - Medium repeating fire, long range, stuns enemies. Special: M240 Flamethrower - Releases a tall burst of fire that slowly moves forward. Hella damaging to enemies. 3 charges. information may or may not be accurate, I will play around more later

Aswell as being able to throw grenades back with the knife attack, you can also throw coconuts! If you jump at the tree and knife you can throw them right off the tree too.

You can cheese him as he chooses his attacks based upon horizontal distance, get him under cover so he can't jump then just stand above him and he'll prioritise using his grenades. With a little moving around above him to change where he aims them he'll just dig himself to the bottom of the level and die.
