No bro selection option?

[NeoKurow]

Why the character change every time you die or you rescue someone? Is there any way to keep the same character all the time?

I was wondering the same thing. It's still Early Access, so hopefully they will add the ability to select your starting bro in a future update.

It's meant to be like a Super Crate Box set-up. Random pick-ups. Stick with the character you like at the expense of less lives.

The roulette mode is a good idea because it keeps the game varied and chaotic, but it'd be nice to have a mode that has selectable characters too.

This is something so basic and something that you just take for a given. They need to add a character selection option!!!. I want to do runs with specific characters! >.<

The randomness is fun, but there are two problems I have with it.

1) eliminates player choice. If you want more lives you have to rescue the hostages. Give me a way to choose whether I'm switching characters or just rescuing them.

2) becomes impossible to follow with four players. There's no way to keep track of "who's who". For both the players and anyone who's spectating.

Then make your own maps. There's an option to force which bro you'll play as.

I see no harm in having a seperate mode where you can choose your bro from the ones you've unlocked.

The game wants you to learn to play with all of the bros and not just with few. If you play more, you'll see that even the bros you disliked first, have great ways to play with them. I wouldn't say that an extra mode, to play with specific bros would be useless, but it would be against the idea of the game.

I was considering this, and I understand that switching bros is like switching powers ups in other games. So, I suggest making it like Super Contra, where you had two weapons. Basically you have a primary and a secondary bro, and the next rescue replaces the currently selected bro.

Pls make a character selection screen. i prefer to play what i chosen instead of keep switching characters to get lifes.

[NeoKurow]

The best would be to have a team of 2 or 3 bros and be able to switch between them at any time! That would be just awesome. If that is just to difficult to do them at least let us select the character and keep it!

[Nail_Bombed]

I thinhk the randmoness of the bro switching makes for more emergent gameplay myself - if you 'git gud' with one bro, you're less likely to pick up on the idiosyncracies of the others, so I think the game should stay as is for the time being - maybe stick in a selection option for 'Easy Mode'.

If the devs are reading this, if you do add a character select, please make it optional or make it different mode. The randomness and having to adapt to new bro is what keeps the action exciting and interesting. If I had the option, I'd probably always play as Neo, but the game would probably get boring fast.

I've played the campaign four times already, and for me, it doesn't get boring because each time, I'll be tackling missions with different bros than before, allowing for a new experience and challenges than the last attempt

I can understand your point but I want to play for example with brochete or Brobocop more and I just don't get the character that I want and even if I don't die when I clear a level in the next level you get a completely different character. The character select option is really needed

But the whole point is like in Super Crate Box, in that you need to adjust to a random character with different abilities, even if they might not be the one you want. So I don't think a character select is needed in the campaign. Maybe in some other mode, but I am totally against character select in the main campaign missions
