There will be so many 'bro' puns AND YOU CANNOT STOP ME

Broforce is a 2d shoot-em up in the same vein of arcade shooters, only thirty times more destructibro. In this game, you take command of the titular Broforce, essentially a brollection of action heroes and heroines from films, and go after terrorists in historical locations, ranging from Irakistan to an alien spaceship. Of course, the plot is an absolute excuse; It's a send-up/bromage of action flicks and it's meant to really get you into the game as soon as possible. I mean, one reason you're spreading freedom is literally 'they said we couldn't find them on a map'.
Gameplay is simple; You can go it brolo or in up to four-player bro-operative play, or even in deathmatches if you need to show your friends who's the best, but no matter how you bro, it's a 2d side-scrolling shoot-em-all-up with destructible environments. The Broforce sends in one-to-four bros at the start of a level, and any additional lives are imprisoned, and must be freed. This is your extra life, but it also switches your Bro to a new Bro; You could get anyone on the Force you've unlocked at that point, and everyone has their bros and cons. Macbrover hurls dynamite, causing copious amounts of stuff to bro up, but can leave the level a bit tricky to navigate; Rambro has a simple arsenal that excels in nothing but doesn't leave him wanting for much, and B.A Broracus has a short range, but his flamethrower lets him dig like nothing else. This is three Bros out of a lot of them.
All of them die in one shot with very few exceptions, so you'll find yourself going through some brotions of levels previously destroyed if you're not careful with your apbroach. Thankfully, the game conbrols pretty well, all told, and accounts for a lot of things you can do; It is, suffice it to say, very hard to blame anything except your skills for when a broment goes bad. Even if things go south and all bros go down, you'll simply respawn at the last checkpoint, and continues are limitless.
Graphically, it's 16-bit goodness, every Bro is distinct, every balaclava-bearing baddie is bursting with blood, and it's all just good fun.
Music and sounds are pastiches of 80s action flicks; The dials all bro to 11, guitar and heavy bass are in abundance, and it's also jolly good fun to listen to. While nothing particularly stands out above the chaos, that's okay; You didn't watch action films for the music then, you don't play Broforce for the tunes now.
Can I recommend Broforce? Yeah I can. Especially considering it's due for an update several years after release, which is a shocker indeed. If it's broing on sale, I can especially recommend this game; It's America through the eyes of everyone else, it's a loving send-up of films where the heroes win via shooting the bad guys until they die, it's as ridiculous and brover the top as possible, and it's just a fun time. And in today's dark, depressing world, sometimes you need a fun game where your brain can relax for a bit while you enjoy exbrosions.
