Fun
"From the very first seconds"
The fun is immediate and explosive: the moment you shoot, the scenery collapses and everything goes up in smoke in gleeful chaos. No learning time, just the glee of destroying everything, multiplied tenfold when playing together on one screen.
The bosses are outsized parodies of action-movie villains, to be demolished amid collapsing scenery. Fighting them is total chaos where the ground vanishes under explosions, and that is precisely where all the fun lies.
Better with friends
Four-player co-op is the game's apex: four 'bros' blowing everything up on scenery collapsing beneath their feet. The chaos becomes total, the teamwork improvised and hilarious, and every level turns into a festive demolition amid bursts of laughter.
Is Broforce still worth playing in 2026?
Years after release, Broforce remains one of the best co-op blowouts on a single screen, elevated by its fully destructible environments. Its meathead parody of action movies and permanent chaos spark laughter that hasn't aged, further enriched by the Broforce Forever expansion. As couch gaming surges back, it's a must for evenings with friends. On Switch, you share the controllers and blow everything up anywhere, the moment there's a group.
