I picked this up during the steam sale, is there a way to choose which bro you get or is it just randomized every time you rescue someone?

Random, that's the gimmick of the game.

I think in like versus mode or something you may be able to pick, but those aren't even finished yet.

It'd be nice if you could gain a Bro, but be given an option to swap out your current BROtagonist in favor of a reserve-bro or to remain with your current.

There's also some gamebalance that needs to be done because I've sometimes come across two POWs in quick succession. That's a lot of Bro hand-offs.

Yeah an option to keep your current bro when you rescue would be really nice.

Sometimes you're playing as rambro and then you get macbroder and its like "gently caress! :v:" But again, that's kinda the charm of the game.

I wouldn't mind it as much if the bros stacked, so if you have B.A. and then you get Brode and die then you go back to B.A. again.

Sure that would make sense but for what? There isn't really that much strategy to anything and while the differences in bros is technically functional its also essentially superficial.

What's up bros?

Grabbed this at the tail end of the sale and dude, bro...this is even better than I'd hoped it would be! Good and difficult, but with how the re-spawn's work, it keeps me going back at it to get to the end out of sheer spite. Love it!

So far, my best Bro's are Ashley Browilliams and the Boondock Bros. Their secondary attack is hilarious!

Haven't tried any co-op yet, but I can only imagine it's amazing. Do we have a Goon Bro group on steam yet?

Broddock has grenade launcher as primary and throws a grenade that explodes into 8/9 more grenades as his secondary.

Cherry walks slower and can only fire down, however when firing in the air her primary gives her some lift for a short while and also fires angled away, kinda like a weaponised jetpack. Her special is to fire a rocket out of her leg.

Yeah, but then you'll lose a whole ummmm .04 cents.

So is there any special magic I have to do to get online coop running? The interface seems to be pretty bare bones and every time I search for an online game it says there are none and every time I try to host a game to have a friend join, they can't find it. Hell, I can't even set a password or change the game lobby's name.

Yes. Yes you did.
If they can have a Time Cop reference, I think they need a Demolition Man reference. :colbert:

Also, I read the whole thing about changing characters when you rescue someone is because you're making a decision: Keep the character you have because you like them in exchange for the extra life you'd get from the POW.

Certain parts of the landscape are indestructible, you have a good jump distance, and most importantly you have an infinite ability to wall climb upwards. It's pretty hard to lock yourself out of getting to the next area. I've created a lot of scenarios where some precision jumping was required, but have only maybe once made it impossible to complete the level due to missing terrain.

We don't need a thousand melee characters. The game is mostly about gunning.

For some reason? Multiple Arnolds working together to cause destruction is what makes BROFORCE amazing.

Speedball posted:

As others have said some tiles can't be destroyed; but the real answer is you just die and try again.

BROFORCE is very much like a side scroller Hotline Miami. Run in, shoot some dudes, get popped, respawn. Run in, shoot more dudes, make it further, get killed by dog, respawn. Rinse, repeat.
