It's strange being nostalgic for a nearly 10 year old game that's centered around nostalgia for a decade my parents grew up in. Life's weird like that.

The game's fun. I really enjoyed that most of the characters had unique moves for you to discover and exploit.

While clearly designed for co-op, Broforce's co-op experience is pretty repetitive. It heavily leans into the chaos, making levels even less predictable and restarts more common. It's unfortunately one of those co-op games that you'll play for maybe 2 hours and then switch to something else.

Weirdly enough, I think single player is where the game can really shine. The game's really at it's most fun when you're speedrunning through levels, abusing movement mechanics, and skipping everything. Unfortunately, the game feels at it's worst when you're playing a level for the first time in single-player, and repeatedly dying in the chaos. So it's kind of a difficult recommendation.

As a bit of side tangent: Most of the single-hero-restricted 1-life "covert" missions aren't fun. However, the one with time bro is easily the best level in the game.
