BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

BROFORCE! THIS GAME IS SO EPIC AND FILLED WITH RAGE AND TESTOSTERONE THAT IF A FEMALE PLAYS IT HER OVARIES WILL EXPLODE!!!!

I did consider doing the entire review in caps but it would blow your mind. Broforce is still in the Beta version but still amazingly good fun. It cost just over £10 on steam but definitely worth it. Broforce is done an a 8-bit/ retro way and considering everyone has a hard on (myself included) for that retro look and the amount of shit that goes on screen it makes sense to.

The object is to battle through each stage with your Bro's (or if you want the ultimate test - Bro it alone) and kill the devil at the end. Then you jump onto a CHOPPA and the levels explodes...obviously. The controls are simple enough and pretty god damn tight! Arrows keys to move (surprisingly), Z shoots, X is a special attack and C is CQC / rescue/ HIGH FIVE! Although the controls are simple, there are still many parts to master. Like riding a pig. Or flying through the air on gas canister to traverse the stage. The latter more dangerous. 

Enemies range from the puny and small, to giant beast dogs! But they all die in a mass of explosions! 

The game fucking rules. I don't think there was one point where there wasn't an explosion on screen. Maybe the start but I'd make sure that in the first...10 seconds something/someone was on fire. Everything is destructible which is both good and bad. Good because it gives you the freedom to play the level any way you want. Bad because you'll accidentally kill yourself...a lot.

Each character or Bro has a unique special and attack which changes how the levels play. To get more Bro's you have you rescue prisoners in cage that give you an extra life. After freeing so many you are rewarded with a new BRO! These include: 

Mr Anderbro - who can dodge bullets and punch through EVERYTHING. 

Bronan - armed with his trusty sword can send shock waves that mutilates anything in it's way. He also does an Arnie GGUUUUUDAAAAH when you use his special. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khWeDJP6riU)

 EXXXXPLOOOSION!!!

I could name more but I don't want to spoil too much. One play through will take 90 minutes to 2 hours but there's countless amounts of fun to be had and I found myself playing this many times over. The best way to play is multiplayer though. A high five will slow down time and make everything more epic by tenfold!
Last thing I'm going to mention is the sound. This game just bleeds awesomeness. When you move you hear the small patter of the characters feet on the ground. The explosions sound larger than life and would perforate a small child's eardrum. By far though the greatest sound...the enemies dying. The screams are hilarious. I'm sure one is a sound bite of Homer Simpson. AND a Wilhelm Scream. Even the music feels like something epic is happening AT ALL TIMES.

To sum up *ahem* (add epic voice) BROFORCE IS LIKE BEING THE ULTIMATE MAN AND STOPPING EVIL IN A HAIL OF GUNFIRE AND EXPLOSIONSSSS! DONT BE A PUSSY...BUY THIS MOTHERFUCKING GAME!!!! AND ITS NOT EVEN FINISHED!! 

Addendum: keep your eyes open for a video review coming soon chums!!
