At the beginning of July, Devolver Digital revealed Free Lives' popular run-and-gun multiplayer platform shooter, Broforce, was "en route" to the Switch following rumours earlier this year it was targeting the system. Well, now it's officially locked in for release on 6th September. The official announcement has been delivered via a message on the Devolver Digital Twitter account.
Broforce is coming to Nintendo Switch on September 6!
For the uninformed, Broforce has you take control of multiple bros as you take down endless waves of terrorists, rescue your fellow squad bros and blow up everything to sight to save civilians. It includes parodies of fictional action heroes such as Rambo, Die Hard's John McClane and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator.
Take a look at the original launch trailer for the game below, and tell us if you're ready for some action-hero multiplayer.

Can't be that popular if I haven't even heard of it.
That said, it does sound kind of interesting.
loved it on my PS4, will get it again day 1
Can't wait for the movie.
i've seen enough action bro
Day 1. Again. Lol.
gets old reeeeaaaal fast
@boop22
Really wish ye would mention whether a game has online multiplayer or not. With online play I would get, without it no.
I remember seeing this a few years ago but lost track of it. Looked like a fun game, so I'll definetely grab it on the Switch this time.
This 2D game is slow on PS4 for some reason, the fps is not optimal. I hope they fixed the problem for this Switch release.
I bought this in early access, never played the finished product but it was awesome nonetheless.
Really fun game, albeit some bros are a bit lame , or some are overpowered .
hope for local multi ...
I got this for free on PS4, it's a pretty fun game and I might double dip if it has online multiplayer. One cool feature is the light bar on the Dual Shock 4 would flash red, white and blue when you beat a level. Bro.
I've played it with friends on PC and it's ok. Of course, they don't have much else to play.
Played it through many times and had it since alpha on PC. What I am curious about if they include the editor or not.
@Heavyarms55 Well it was popular.
I'm the first one to look cynically on any game that attempts to a) cash in on the popular culture of the 1980s b) saturates itself with an atmosphere of over the top violence and c) has overly pixel-y graphics but with all that said I LOVE this game. The violence is cartoony without being grotesque, the '80s action movie milieu is handled extremely well with some clever puns that affect gameplay even more cleverly, and the retro graphics are charming and finely detailed.
Beyond that, though, the gameplay is awesome and incredibly addictive. Every bro has their own unique weapons and abilities which means there's more than one way to get through the level. And since which bro you get is randomized for the most part, the levels are very replayable (which is good, because you'll die a lot).
Even beyond THAT though, this game is perfect for a portable device as it's something you can pick up and play in short bursts (or sink several hours into at once, as there's a ton of content and it's very addictive).
Anyway, I didn't expect to like this game at all, but I really do.
The Best Game EVER!!! I will buy this a 2nd time for sure. I beat this game 3x and would love it on the switch!
