好玩，爽

Good platformer

gets boring really quick

Broforce is the kind of game where every mission feels like a challenge you're ready to accept. At the start of each level you're given a randomly selected character, and from there it's all about surviving, fighting your way through enemies and reaching the extraction point. The constantly changing roster is one of the game's biggest strengths. Every character has different weapons and abilities, so even replaying the same mission can feel quite different. As you progress, you unlock even more characters, making every run a little more unpredictable. But there's a caveat: the changing roster also makes the gameplay more chaotic than it should be. The gameplay is simple but demanding. Since you die from a single hit, every mistake can send you back to the last checkpoint. Completing missions requires both skill and patience, but the difficulty can sometimes feel a bit unfair. There were plenty of moments where I carefully cleared an area only to be killed instantly by artillery shells raining from the sky or some other seemingly unavoidable hazard. I also found it frustrating that enemies occasionally seemed able to shoot through destroyed vehicles or debris while my own bullets could not. As a single-player game, Broforce often feels like a process of trial and error. Sometimes you get a character with an excellent weapon for the situation, while other times you're left wondering why you were given someone whose weapon barely seems useful. Certain sections almost encourage you to stop thinking entirely and simply sprint forward while constantly jumping, hoping you'll survive long enough to reach the next checkpoint. And beating a boss after dozens of tries doesn't feel like you got any better — it feels like you finally got the right roster and the lucky high-damage attack you needed all along. One issue I had with the combat is that encounters can feel unnecessarily restrictive. Many enemies attack from awkward angles, yet most characters can only fire horizontally. Fighting enemies below you — especially dogs — often turns into a frantic race to shoot before they reach you. If you happen to get a character with a weaker weapon, these situations can feel less like a test of skill and more like bad luck. There are also lots of bugs. I got sent to the moon in the last boss fight (literally) and I got stuck multiple times during my campaign playthrough. But knowing the kind of game this is, that much is to be expected. But I have to admit that the game has an addictive quality. After failing, I almost always wanted to give the level one more try. I'd approach the encounter a little differently, get a better character or simply play more aggressively, and eventually I'd succeed. The environments, enemies and bosses change throughout the campaign, but the core gameplay loop remains the same: run forward, adapt to whatever character you've been given, survive and keep pushing onward. Some levels feel quite nice and cleverly put together, while others can feel either way too easy or way too hard. I imagine Broforce is probably even more enjoyable in co-op, where the chaos becomes part of the fun. Playing solo, however, I found the randomness and occasional "unfair" deaths more noticeable. Most boss fights felt like a pain in the bottom rather than something genuinely fun. Overall, I'd give Broforce a 6/10. It has an entertaining core gameplay loop and plenty of charm, but the randomness and sometimes frustrating difficulty made me notice the weaknesses of the game more than its strengths. Broforce is the kind of game that's fun in short bursts rather than long sessions. After a few evenings I felt like I'd seen most of what it had to offer, and I didn't have much desire to come back. It's still worth picking up on sale, especially if you're looking for a challenging arcade-style action game or something to play with friends.

Mira... es un juego super rico, a mi me gustó!
