History VideoGame / Broforce

Broforce is an indie platformer game (still in development) created by FreeLives. The whole point of the game is to basically shoot things and blow stuff up. The goal for each level is to kill a red demon. The characters are all various action movie stars with "bro" in various arts their names.The website can be found [[http://www.freelives.net/broforce-game here.]]

* UnwinnableByInsanity: Since most of the terrain is destructible, you can destroy levels in a way that it would be impossible to progress, forcing you into no choice but to kill yourself until you GameOver so the level can reset.

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: The bros [[LordBritishPostulate can blow up]] the rescue helicopter at the end of each level ([[KaizoTrap And it can crush them when it falls]]). A new one will appear several seconds later.

* BoringButPractical: In a game where a standard ability is using a gatling gun to fly, the combat knife is obviously this. It's really short range, but it does good damage (strong enough to one-shot standard mooks, a feat comparable to the rocket launcher, shotgun, and sword), can hitstun the giant mooks and is quite useful against tanks and the first boss, considering you'll be too close for the tank to shoot you easily.

* CherryTapping: If something can be killed, it can be killed with the combat knife (with the exception of the second boss, the hovercraft.)

* GatlingGood: [[{{Terminator}} The Brominator]] can blast off with a powerful chaingun, but much like regular chainguns, it has a bit of spin-up time and the recoil drives you back. His special weapon is a transformation to his Endoskeleton form, which cancels out the recoil effect (and also makes him invincible). One trick is to use the recoil to move around faster than you walk.
** The [[{{GiantMook}} large terrorists]] carry these as well, minus the knockback. The first boss-a giant tank-has two huge ones that tear through anything in their path.

* OneHitPolykill: [[{{EscapeFromNewYork}} Snake Broskin]] can do this with his piercing rifle.

* SoCoolItsAwesome
* WhipItGood: [[{{IndianaJones}} Indiana Brones]] has this as his special attack.

* MacrossMissileMassacre: [[{{Commando}} The Brommando]] does this for his special attack.

** The CPU controlled partner suffers from this as well. It seems to have three settings: [[{{LeeroyJenkins}} Leeroy Jenkins]], throwing all it's grenades (often killing you in the process), and standing still after you die, forcing you to restart the level.enemy bullets.
* AttackDeflector: Both Brade's katana and Ash's chainsaw can block
* BackToBackBadasses: The two player characters. Actually [[{{InvokedTrope}} invoked]], as the game provides an AI partner if no one else will play.

** Basic mooks can be killed by hitting them [[TacticalDoorUsage with a door]] while opening it.

* OhCrap: The mooks will flee and scream in terror when Ash charges them with his[[ChainsawGood chainsaw]].

* BoringButPractical: In a game where a low level ability is launching a M3, the combat knife is obviously this. It's really short range, but it does good damage (strong enough to one-shot standard mooks, a feat comparable to the rocket launcher, shotgun, and sword), can hitstun the giant mooks and is quite useful against tanks and the first boss, considering you'll be too close for the tank to shoot you easily.

* DeathFromAbove: Airstrikes randomly appear in a good many levels, first visible as a series of [[{{CrosshairAware}} red crosses and lines]] to let you know to get out of the way fast.

* LuckBasedMission: Since each Bro has different strengths and weaknesses, some segments can be near impossible if you happen to spawn or rescue the wrong Bro.

** MacBrover will, if ordered to throw dynamite (his standard attack) when within knifing range of an enemy, stick it on the enemy instead, and the mook will proceed to run around until he blows up.

** The [[{{EliteMooks}} large terrorists]] carry these as well, minus the knockback. The first boss-a giant tank-has two huge ones that tear through anything in their path.

* ActionBomb: The red terrorists can blow up in addition to trying to shoot you.

* StuffBlowingUp: Well, duh

* KatanasAreJustBetter: Blade's sword can cut down many enemies with one swing, and is one of the few weapons that can go through shields.

* PlayerGuidedMissile: Judge Dredd allows you to do this.
