We don't have the time, nor manpower to port to other platforms.ģ. The promotional tie in is almost 3 years old.Ģ. The Expendabros won't be released on other platforms because:ġ. Broforce and anything linked to it has taken a back seat. Now that Broforce is complete, we have four other games under way. As soon as it was released on Steam, we continued crunching on Broforce. You would have noticed that we didn't put The Expendabros on Humble either. However it gained so much popularity that discussion were had with Steam and Devolver Digital (our publishers) and it was kept live and still is free to play. it was only meant to be freely available on Steam until December 31st 2014. It was made in 2 or so months while still having to do regular Broforce updates. It was a cross promotional tie in with Lionsgate and Free Lives, for the Expendable 3 movie and Broforce. It would be more interesting to have an answer explaining why it can't be on GOG (lack of resources, rights, not enough sales on GOG.) and, please, without the bullshit part (we have politicians and PR for that). Because, you have here people asking gently if an update available elsewhere would one day come and the answer is "No, if you want it re-buy the game or pirate it. However, I find the kind of answer above given by a developer of the game quite sad since it's really empowering this "second class" feeling. Regularly, people complain of being treated as second class citizen on GOG due to update being late and, I have to admit that, while I agree on some points, there is a feeling of entitlement I don't feel much comfortable with. Add to that the fact it's free (it’s basically a mod of the also stellar Broforce) and you have a game that everyone should have in their Steam library.Cal74: Hello, just bought your game during the Spring sale and browsed the forum. The Expendabros is a wonderfully tight shooter, with a great sense of humor that ties in with the movie perfectly. Others, however, feel a little more forced, like Trench Mauser who becomes Trent Broser… Wonderbro Sometimes this blending of name and Bro can be quite subtle such as Randy Couture’s character Toll Road becoming Toll Broad. In keeping with the comic tone, each character is a parody of their celluloid equivalent with a “Bro” woven into their name. This lottery-style selection means that you have to get to grips with all of the different play styles, be they explosive and self-damaging or short-ranged sword slices that put you in danger's way. Rescuing a new character, or dying, randomly spawns another member of the cast you have unlocked. Almost as damaging as a gun, the blades do not attract attention and have a greater range when used as a special attack – a mix that opens up a whole new play style. Rescuing the first new member of your squad, it becomes apparent how the different abilities will affect play, with the character of Lee Broxmas only equipped with knives. ![]() These are quite versatile, but do attract unwanted attention. You start as Broney Ross (Stallone), who has a light machine gun and grenades. Seven of the movie's cast members make an appearance as playable characters, and each has their own weapon and special ability. Though small and pixelated, each spite is clear and easily distinguishable, making it easy to see if an opponent is going to shoot you or run towards you and explode without having to strain your eyes. The power lines are my favorite piece of environmental flavor, with sparks flying off them as you run their length before knocking down the generators to kill enemies beneath.Ĭharacters and enemies complement this look. The green and brown jungle styling plays host to huts, rope bridges, and other makeshift structures. ![]() If that isn’t enough, the more modern influence of Tarraria is also apparent, with destructible landscapes allowing to create your own path through the bite-sized levels.Ī polished 16-bit visual style offers a surprising amount of detail. ![]() Taking classic platform shooting from games like Contra, The Expendabros adds a sense of verticality and agility with wall jumps that would happily have been at home in Shinobi. Fans of games of this era should quickly see the blend of styles.
