Broforce is more bro than you. The newly-released February update (broptate?) for the upcoming shooter shows off some brand new features in the game, including multiplayer, and let us know that it's coming to Steam Early Access next month.
But what's this all about, Bro?
"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?"
Er, ok? The game has a little bit of a Metal Slug feel to it, just incredibly bro-ed up. The characters are all influenced by pop culture icons (Rambo, The Terminator, Chuck Norris, etc.) and this trailer features the introduction of two new characters, Bronan and Brochete. Hope you can figure out what they're going for with those, There's also a list of all new game features, such as Tactical Swine and Killer Coconuts.
The game will offer a campaign and multiplayer modes as well as a level editor that will allow players to create their own levels "just to watch their friends tear it apart in the name of freedom and democracy."
Devolver Digital is publishing, which delights developer Free Lives. " We're elated to find a publisher with enough luscious chest hair and neck girth to match up with Broforce," said Evan Greenwood, Director at Free Lives.
"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 in a statement. "Hnnnnnng," he added.
It's entirely possible that this might be too much bro for you to take and that's ok. We can't all be Broforce.
Check Steam Early Access in March or just go to the Humble Bundle Store to pick up the Beta. A full PC and console release will hit this summer.
