History VideoGame / Broforce

* GutturalGrowler: The Announcer, both in-game and in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR9k7KsbMIc game trailers]].

* LandmineGoesClick: And it is pretty audible.

* ActionGirl: [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Ellen Ripbro]], [[Film/PlanetTerror Cherry Broling]], [[Film/KillBill The Brode]], and [[Film/TankGirl Tank Bro]]. Coming in as an assist, there's also little [[Film/TheProfessional Brotilda]]. Forever adds [[Series/XenaWarriorPrincess Xebro]] and [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Broffy]]
* AdaptationalBadass: All of the bros, given that none of them engaged on the downright ridiculous levels of slaughter this game displays in their source material. The most evident examples are [[Series/TheATeam B.A. Broracus]], since B.A Baracus didn't kill {{Mooks}} despite participating in an [[ATeamFiring occasional firefight]], [[Series/MacGyver1985 MacBrover]] since [=MacGyver=] was a TechnicalPacifist in the series (although he does make a lot of explosives).

* SequelHook: [[Spoiler:After the credits roll, you're treated to a cutscene of Rambro visiting Satan's grave. You are then prompted to press the fire button to pay respects... in other words, prompt Rambro to pee on Satan's grave. After enough peeing, Rambro leaves... and then Satan's skeletal arm reaches out of the ground as a ScareChord plays.]]

* SentryGun: Missile turrets fire on their own. Some even emerge from thr ground.

** The only things that can kill a rescuable character is either having a block falling on top of him or falling in a bottomless pit. Otherwise, being shot, caught on explosions of falling from a huge height won't harm him, so your extra life (and potential character unlock) is safe.

* ArtificialStupidity: The player characters can survive falling from any height. The terrorists cannot. That doesn't stop dogs and red terrorists from charging headlong off cliffs to their deaths.

* MultinationalTeam: Ironically, alongside the American majority, Broforce contains Bros from [[Film/MadMax Aus]][[Film/TankGirl tralia]], [[Film/TheBoondockSaints Ireland]], [[Film/{{Braveheart}} Scot]][[Film/{{Highlander}} land]], [[Franchise/JamesBond Great Britain]], [[Film/{{Machete}} Mexico]], [[Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian Cimmeria]], [[Film/TheProfessional Italy]], [[Film/EnterTheDragon China]], Sweden (if counting The Expendabros), [[Franchise/{{Alien}} outer]] [[Franchise/{{Predator}} space]], and even [[Film/MortalKombatTheMovie Heaven]].

* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Parodied in the ''Expendabros'' campaign. After beating [[FinalBoss Stonebanks]], you're treated to a quick time event where you "interrogate" him by repeatedly punching him in the face. Once you've punched him black and blue, the words "INTERROGATION COMPLETE" flashes in the background, with no indication that you've actually got any information out of the boss during such. In fact, [[CrossesTheLineTwice you can keep punching him until his]] [[YourHeadAsplode head explodes]], [[spoiler:during which it's revealed that Stonebanks is actually [[ActuallyADoombot a robot decoy.]]]]

On November 18th 2022, a new update called "Broforce Forever" was announced. It will feature new Bros and missions. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPv0KXdNxao See the teaser trailer here]].

* RocketJump: Cherry's special launches a rocket straight down. Using it from the ground allows her to boost herself slightly in the air. Tank Bro can also perform one by sprinting into her rocket's explosion.

* ScreamingWarrior: Upon using his special, Bronan leaps into the air with a battle cry befitting of [[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger the man he was modeled after]].

* TestosteronePoisoning: The game stars ridiculously masculine heroes (and heroines), terrorists being shot into chunks, explosions everywhere, and even [[spoiler: beating Satan to save the United States and the rest of the world]].

* TeleFrag: It's very difficult to do it on purpose, but [[Film/EscapeFromNewYork Snake]] [[Film/EscapeFromLA Broskin]] can do this when teleporting using his new special.

* [[Film/EscapeFromNewYork Snake Brosken]]. '''Main Weapon:''' [[GunsAkimbo Double scoped Mac-10's]] with silencers. '''Secondary:''' Hologram/Teleport Device. '''Melee:''' Knife.

* [[Film/{{Braveheart}} Bro Heart]]. '''Main Weapon:''' Claymore/Punches. '''Secondary:''' Freedom Rush. '''Melee:''' Sword Throw/Punches.

* [[Film/DemolitionMan Demolition Bro]]
* [[Series/XenaWarriorPrincess Xebro]]
* [[{{Film/Desperado}} Desperabro]]
* [[{{Film/Tremors}} Bro Gummer]]
* [[Film/TheFly1986 Seth Brondle]]
* [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Broffy]]

* CheckPoint: The flagpoles act as this, and when you touch one, you raise an American flag. [[Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice FUCK YEAH!]]

* ActionGirl: [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Ellen Ripbro]], [[Film/PlanetTerror Cherry Broling]], [[Film/KillBill The Brode]], and [[Film/TankGirl Tank Bro]]. Coming in as an assist, there's also little [[Film/TheProfessional Brotilda]].

* BadassInANiceSuit: [[Film/MenInBlack Bro In Black]] and [[Franchise/JamesBond Double Bro Seven.]]

* BattleBoomerang: Bro Max's special is a single bromerang, which can decapitate enemies and be picked up and reused.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: [[Film/DieHard Bro Hard]] is barefoot both in game and in the launch trailer.

** Some levels feature enemy-controlled [[WalkingTank Walking Tanks]] that the player can gain control of. They are equipped with thrusters that allow them to fly (which is a good thing because of how [[MightyGlacier sluggish]] their walking pace is), and falling from a decent height will cause them to dig a deep hole in the ground, crushing anything and anyone they land on except for checkpoints. If the layer of ground covering the BottomlessPit below the level is too thin, the vehicle will punch through it, which can potentially cause the player's death.

* [[Franchise/IndianaJones Indiana Brones]]. '''Main Weapon:''' [[WhipItGood Whip]]. '''Secondary:''' [[RevolversAreJustBetter Revolver]]. '''Melee:''' [[PowerfulPick Pickaxe]].

* DungeonBypass: Players can skip large portions of a level by digging through terrain or by using Indiana Brones and his [[WhipItGood whip]]. Mr. Anderbro, Bronan, and the Brode all have leaping techniques that can be used to bypass several obstacles.

* WhipItGood: [[Franchise/IndianaJones Indiana Brones]] has this as his primary attack.

** Broden's looks and avatar portrait are taken from ''Film/MortalKombatTheMovie'', but his special and melee attacks are a reference to the [[Franchise/MortalKombat games]] (his special is Raiden's SignatureMove and his melee is Johnny Cage's [[VideoGame/MortalKombat1 MKI]] [[https://youtu.be/MKsL-q6mhjw fatality]])

* WhatMeasureIsAMook: PlayedForLaughs. At one point in the main campaign, there's a cutscene depicting the life of a suicide mook, from his birth to the moment he decides to charge at you.
