Last year we also talked to Broforce director Evan Greenwood about the amusing origins of the concept: "Broforce was a joke. We like it so much that we can't stop talking about it, it would seem.

We've also reviewed the free Expendabros playable demo that was available for much of last year, and we previewed the full game as it was back in March. If, like us, you're partial to a bit of classic Die Hard and the like, you'll find plenty of reasons to fall in love with Broforce.īroforce was actually one of 25 games to appear in our Indie Calendar at the end of last year, and we spoke to Free Lives about their aspirations for 2015 in one of our featured previews.

This isn't simply homage to some of the most explosive films of the past thirty years, but rather it's a series of love letters to the cheesy action movies of our collective youth. What makes Broforce stand out is the well-weighted character movement, the huge array of different special attacks on offer to the player depending on the hero used, the destructible environments and the onscreen carnage you regularly see unfold, and finally the love that's clearly gone into the design of the characters. Upon death, should the reaper tap you on the shoulder for any reason, you revert to a new hero until you run out of extra lives and must restart. On the way you can rescue fellow "bros" from imprisonment, each time changing your playable character and banking an extra life for later use. The premise is thus: you control an 80s- or 90s-inspired action hero with two signature attacks, and using them you must blast your way through destructible environments on your way to the helicopter evacuation at each level's end.
What we can't wait for is the game to be finished, because with so many games hitting Early Access in recent months, we've started waiting for developers to declare their games fully cooked before we sink too much time into them. Well, that's not actually true, because Broforce is currently in Steam Early Access, and it's already a fleshed out experience that we'd be happy to recommend to pretty much anybody. There can be only one, and Free Lives' homage-riddled platformer is our headline indie of 2015, and out of all the games mentioned below, it's the one that we can't wait to get our mitts on most.
