“People keep talking about making the video game equivalent of The Expendables… how about somebody make a Hollywood version of this? Because this is how I remember 80s action movie heroes to be.”
– KOTAKU, Luke Plunkett

“Broforce is what The Expendables game should have been.”
– EUROGAMER, Jeffrey Matulef

Developers: Free Lives (Cape Town, South Africa)
Expected launch date: End 2013

Broforce is a hyperviolent action platform game. It features 90′s blockbuster movie action heroes making up the Broforce team- an under-funded vigilante paramilitary organisation – saving the world from satanic alien terrorist investment banker businessmen in non-stop, fast paced co-operative strategic mayhem filled with more action and explosions than anything else, ever.

The game is still in development – the official Brologue is scheduled for release in June, and the full game will launch towards the end of 2013. Full game features:

* More explosions, camera shake and action than anything else, ever.
* Fully destructible terrain.
* Local bro-op play and online multiplayer bro-op.
* Deathmatch arenas with leaderboards and rankings.
* Unlockable “bros” – each with distinctive attacks and special brobilities.
* A level editor, the ability to challenge your friends and share your custom levels.
* Design your own Brofort – with unlockable rooms and additions to defend against terrorist onslaught, or just hang out.
* Vehicular action sequences, dinosaurs, aliens and epic Contra-inspired boss fights.
* Nuanced and strategic combat, explosive action and deadly stealth.
* For every terrorist killed in Broforce, a terrorist will die in real life.

“BROFORCE is what you would get if you had a tap labelled ‘The 80s’ in your house and, one day, you just left that tap running, coming back many hours later to find your home flooded with ACTION and CAPITAL LETTERS.”
– PC GAMES, Paul Dean

Broforce is being developed by Free Lives, an indie games studio based in Cape Town, South Africa. Broforce began as a Ludum Dare entry in the Ludum Dare #23 Game Jam in April 2012, where it was awarded First in the “Humour” category, Second in “Fun” and Fourth in “Graphics”. The Free Lives team loved what they had created and decided to focus their efforts full time into releasing it as a full, commercial game. The first Broforce “Brototype” was released in October 2012, and received excellent feedback. Since then the Brototype has been regularly updated and is available to play for free online.While the Brototype shows the kind of combat being developed, it does lack the depth, scale of content and narrative that the final game will include (and a lot else besides).

“I think when given the option to destroy everything that isn’t nailed down, I’d like to do it pretending to be an ultra-violent action movie star from the 90s. In Broforce, which is kind of an awesome name, players are doing exactly that. Shooting everything from aliens, terrorists, and satanists, Broforce is the Hollywood action id unleashed.”
– COMPLEX GAMING, Hanuman Welch

“A manic 2D platform-shooter – and that’s in a very literal sense, given that you can blow up most of the levels into pixelly gibs.”
– PC GAMER

NEW DEMO LAUNCHING JUNE 2013 – THE BROLOGUE!

“It’s rare for me to finish a game and say, ‘Let’s do it again!’ But that’s exactly what I said when I finished Broforce‘s self-proclaimed ‘brototype’. In fact, I’ve been replacing syllables of random words with ‘bro’ since then, like an anxious tic. It is a deliriously fun homage to  80′s action flicks, so much so that it desperately needs a high five button. More apt would be to say this is Contra by way of someone who plays Spelunky by throwing dozens of bombs per level. It’s pure, unadulterated carnage. Definitely the kind of insanity I’m going to be looking out for. For now, all we can do is support it on Steam’s new Greenlight program.”
