Expendabros is a really fun demo/movie tie in for Broforce and Expendables 3. You control the cast of the movie in something similar to Contra, with a ton more violence. Controls are simple and easy to pick up and the graphics are simple but appealing. With the wide range of weaponry between the characters, it mixes up the gameplay enough to cover for the fact that there are only a handful of enemy types. Each character not only has their own main weapon, but also their own grenade attack. Some are actually pretty fun to watch in action.

I haven't played Broforce, but this short game actually made me want to try it. That's about all you could ask for from a demo/tie-in like this. Give it a try, the price is definitely right.

Broforce is less polished than expendabros, but what it lacks in finishing detail it makes up for in content. more levels, more bros, level creator, etc. i highly recommend broforce as this years best platformer.

I guess it's been a long time since I've played Contra. It did take me a while to figure out you could only shoot left or right, doesn't feel quite right. Still the most similar type of game I can think of.

I would disagree with its likeness to Contra. In Broforce you can only shoot left and right. There are no power ups, just grenades. The game is fun, but Contra was a lot slower and more calculated with directional shooting. The "Bros" just blast though EVERTHING and it's super fast paced. Both great games, still not Contra.:tgrin:
