The levels themselves are fairly simplistic, but where they impress is in their deformability. Each level is a bullet-strewn run through a bunch of heavily-armed grunts, culminating in the messy assassination of a devil-like figure, and occasionally a hulking boss. Fortunately, Broforce has more than the novelty of its controllable characters on its side.
These characters unlock after a set amount of rescues, and you'll be revealing distinctive new Bros deep into your time with the game.
Bro In Black's tiny laser gun kicks like a mule - in both directions. Bro Dredd has homing bullets and a guidable warhead special. Anderbro is Neo from the Matrix by another name, with a deadly melee attack and the ability to defy gravity.
Those are two of the least interesting protagonists, too. Or Bro Hard, essentially Die Hard's John McClane with twin sub-machine guns and flashbang grenades. So there's Rambro, a clear take on Stallone's battle-weary 'nam vet, complete with an M60 machine gun and a stack of grenades.
