An old school platform shooter developed by independent South African studio Free Lives. The game employs a parodic style to resurrect the legend of classic side-scrolling arcade shooters and the cult of movie tough guys from eighties and nineties. Playing as such icons like John Rambo, Texas Ranger, John McClane, B.A. Barracus, Robocop, or Conan, the player moves through levels filled with typical evil mooks and villains.

Broforce for PC, PS4 and PSV is a 2D platform shooter that reanimates the legend of classic side-scroll arcade games and indomitable tough guys featured in the film industry of the 1980s and 90s. This game came to life thanks to South African studio Free Lives and Devolver Digital, the publisher of an equally distinctive indie game – Hotline Miami.

The game lets you play as the most famous action film heroes of the late 20th century: John Rambo, Texas Ranger, John McClane from the Die Hard franchise, and B. A. Barracus from The A-Team TV series. Because of licensing issues, their names received a ‘bro’ affix, resulting in such combinations as Rambro, Brobocop, or Bronan. Gameplay is as simple as it can be – you travel through a series of locations freeing captives, eliminating bad guys and, from time to time, facing more demanding mega-bosses. You are armed with a main weapon (different for each hero) and grenades. You reach checkpoints when you manage to raise the American flag, and when the mission is complete you fly away on board of a military helicopter, leaving nothing but smouldering ashes behind you.
