Unfinished: Broforce 04/09/2014

Broad Shoemaker and Brony Caravella bro* it up pixel-style. *They're not actually brothers.

Sometimes we look at a game before it's done. When that's the case? Well... it must be Unfinished.

Man, indie games are SO varied. I've never seen pixel art or 2D platformers / shooters before!

Who needs AAA when you got the valiant and brave indies taking so many risks?

Looks like an ok game but dat $15 indie greed! What a shitty trend $15 indie games are, this game would have more of a chance for impulse buying if it was at $10, would help it's community, but then you could make that argument for all the greedy $15 indie games that came out the last few months, one mod I mean game insurgency even had it's white knight community go so far as to say "I like it because it's a smaller community" yes you enjoy that getting matches going is effectively harder because of greedy devs.

Nothing wrong with a $15 price...leaves room for a steam sale price drop

They went with Blade over Simon Phoenix as their Wesley Snipes character of choice? Maaan. Granted, maybe they needed to be "heroes" to qualify.

This looks super fun, but there are a ton more iconic action heroes that could to go in it for sure.

Alright, I can get behind this kind of idiocy, I feel this still needs a cobra reference, and possibly one for Sniper.

Maybe they're working our how to make the laser on Cobro's gun to work

I don't know if it was mentioned, but there is an older brototype out there for free download.

I replayed it like five times. I'm definitely buying the full game sometime soon.

They only recently added Brochete (Machete) and Bronan the barbarian, so I imagine they're still gonna be adding more characters.

I wonder who Vinnys favorite pony is. I'm going to bet Rarity.

Come on, it's probably Applejack.

Those Homer Simpson screams are golden.

And I agree about the name and the Bro'ing in this game, can't think of a witty and fitting name though.

Because 90% of indie games are 2D side scrollers. There's only so much you can do with that.

@sooty: Yeah, and 99% of AAA games take place in a 3D environment. There's only so much you can do with that.

I'm obviously being facetious, but it's not like all indie side scrollers are the same. There are shooters, puzzle games, racing games, straight platformers, adventure games... just seems kind of weird to get bothered by the fact that it's obviously easier and cheaper for indies to make 2D games.

One hit deaths seem completely out of place in this game. First, it kills any sense that you're an OP 80's badass if it only takes one hit to kill you. Second, with this much chaos, you seem to just die because, I don't know, explosions? Does this bug anyone else?

EDIT:

The one hit kills seem better in deathmatch.

I'm halfway through. I hope they figure out you can charge up Brobocop's main gun and unleash a ton of bullets all at once.

Nah, I think there's a lot more you can do with the 3D plane. Side scrollers might not all be the same, but there's a bigger sense of repetition to them for me.

I agree. Especially if it gets much more chaotic. 2-3 hits of health would help make it feel alright taking some crazy risks. They can still make the bosses hit hard if they want.

The game looks great. I guess I'll try to remember it when/if it ever gets finished.

Sometimes I really wish the Giant Bomb guys would at least watch a trailer before they quick look a game. If they did for this one they would have realized a ton of stuff they could do that they missed. Like using the beehives, or riding the pigs.

Is that scream Homer Simpson?

No, that's clearly Bromer Simpson.

I can't believe you haven't had more love for this comment/amendment. C'mere, I got a hug just for you.

You know what? I was resistant to this game, but then I saw Fake Judge Dredd and now I am ALL THE WAY IN.

I was never resistant to the game, but I fully agree that the Judge Dredd inclusion is wayyy rad.
