I celebrated the release of Broforce on Switch by redownloading it on PS+, it's still pretty okay imo!

There's a lot worse in the derivative indie pixel art game genre.

I don't like fighting the Lagombi. It moves so fast, and since you can't get a great sword with green sharpness yet I keep bouncing off it's belly

Wait, how early is the Lagombi again? I had a green sharpness sword not too late in maybe 2* village quests. The one with the fangs that extend when drawn. Maybe it was leveled another time to get the green sharpness.

Do easy. Its still not a guaranteed win but having less enemies spawn in can really help as you try to figure out how to use different teams.

Something I wish the game made clear is that if a mech is destroyed but has a heaing effect trigger on it as part of the same action it will undestroy itself. I.e. a mech with one health does a move that deals three damage to itself and heals itself for one will explode then stand back up again at one health and with the pilot still alive.

The other thing is that the final island is 2 back to back fights. You heal and get your resets back between them but you cant get sloppy on defense until the second round. Nearly lost my first run due to that.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.

There's little incentive not to, at least until you've unlocked all the teams. The only caveat is that you get half the citizens rescued, which is meaningless, and you can't get the achievements that rely on you beating the game on Hard.

I just clicked the BroForce trailer on Nintendo's channel, and the trailer for a game is a really lame early 2000s adult swim GI Joe parody animation, with no gameplay footage, so not exactly reassuring or grabbing my interest.

Cartoon/non-gameplay trailers can gently caress off. Though to be fair I haven't watched any game trailers in ages. It helps to avoid hype and if I want to know about a game I'll just look at videos on YouTube.

Yeah there's also a Wario game with "fart" in the title which, while very in character for a Wario game, I don't think they would allow "fart" in the title for one of their own first party games. Which means either the guy knew about Yoshi and BS'd everything else, the guy got very lucky with guessing the name of the Yoshi game, or there's actually a loving Metroid horse racing game coming out??

This video effectively captures the attitude and tone of the game, but the gameplay is pretty far updated since the beta, although they seem to have removed explosive coconuts from the final version (!!!!!!)

Now I want explosive coconuts back in the game.

They added a ton of new characters for the 4th of July DLC and the Hell DLC, both of which come with the switch version

Maybe for FTL, but ITB on easy is an idle clicker game and playing on Normal you can win with near certainty if you know what you're doing.

e; I am a fairly vocal ITB critic but still totally recommend getting it.

Yeah, once you learn how to get on top of the vek and use your turns efficiently then easy becomes Much, Much Too Easy (or Perfect for Farming Difficult Achievements, depending how you look at it)

Great game, though, normal difficulty feels just right to me. If you manage to not choke for an hour or two then you should probably win

I think my problem is that I keep loving up my deployments with my first team. I try and space out the mech and the tank with the artillery in the back and inevitably the enemy moves in a way that I can't reach something major.
