Broforce unleashes hell on the PC next month

Get ready for more action-movie cliches than you eve thought possible as Free Lives and Devolver Digital’s genre-lampooning side-scroller is set to hit Steam on the PC next month.

If you’re an action movie junkie from the land of the high-octane ’80s, then that was pure gold for you. Actually, the sheer amount of staple characters and actors from both the ’80s and the ’90s is pretty impressive in Broforce.

From the press release:

Capetown, South Africa – In what industry pundits are calling the most obvious pairing ever, developer Free Lives and rogue publisher Devolver Digital are joining forces to bring Broforce to Steam Early Access in March 2014 with a full PC and console release this summer. Born during Ludum Dare 23, Broforce has been through an extended training montage over the past year and is now poised to dominate international politics and possibly end terrorism through a sheer show of force.

Broforce brings the shock and awe as gamers across the globe take control of an under-funded, over-powered paramilitary organization dealing exclusively in excessive force. Stroke your MURDER-BONER™ with up to four friends, locally and online, in non-stop, explosive run ‘n’ gun action and eliminate the terrorist forces that threaten our way of life. Adapt your tactics as you select bros from a massive roster of true 80’s and 90s action heroes, each with unique weapons and abilities. Set off incredible chain reactions of fire, napalm and limbs in the name of freedom. Then, as the dust settles, face off against each other in one of many competitive modes. Finally gain closure by answering important life questions that have been keeping you up at night: who would win in a flex-off between the Brominator and Brobocop?

“Broforce is sure to put hair on your chest, regardless of gender, and give your neck that thick, tree stump look that is coveted by all true bros,” said Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker. “Hnnnnnng.”

In addition to the campaign and multiplayer modes in Broforce, more creative bros will be able to use the level editor to create and share their own custom playgrounds of destruction just to watch their friends tear it apart in the name of freedom and democracy.

If I had designed a game at about 15 years old, I’m pretty sure it would have sounded almost exactly like that (minus the murder-boner maybe). Also important to note here is that I have absolutely no problems with that.

Insane action gameplay with tons of stuff to shoot, a whole bunch of spoof characters of the action icons that you already know and a level editor? What’s not to like there exactly? Get ready to lock and load, Broforce lampoons some of the best of all time when it hits the PC as a part of Steam Early Access this March.
