We had a chat with Broforce director Evan Greenwood to talk about a game that started out as a joke that would up resulting in a phone call from Lionsgate (resulting in Expendabros) and an endorsement from Dolph Lundgren.

"Broforce was a joke. It was 'let's make a game this weekend and see what happens and we're going to put Rambo in it," says Greenwood of the start of the project.

"The game kind of wrote itself, we didn't plan far ahead and we put it together and it just felt good. And we were working on another game at the time and Broforce was more fun. It was just this game that people seemed to enjoy and they liked it and that was really encouraging. Eventually we scrapped our project that we'd been working on for six months and just said 'Broforce - that's it, that's what we're going to make now'. And that was about two years ago, just over two years ago and it's been crazy, it's been so much fun and as it's gotten bigger and more known it's just so surreal that this was this game that we doing as a joke at the start and were going to give out for free and we did for a while. And now suddenly it's on Steam and Dolph Lundgren recommended it."

Broforce has been confirmed for PC, Mac, Linux (eventually) with PS4 and PS Vita versions also underway. Greenwood hinted that micro consoles could also be on the horizon.

The Expendabros

REVIEW. Written by Mike Holmes

"It brings a bit of Broforce to the movie franchise, and at the same time acts a wonderful advert for the game."
