In keeping with the comic tone, each character is a parody of their celluloid equivalent with a “Bro” woven into their name. This lottery-style selection means that you have to get to grips with all of the different play styles, be they explosive and self-damaging or short-ranged sword slices that put you in danger's way. Rescuing a new character, or dying, randomly spawns another member of the cast you have unlocked. Almost as damaging as a gun, the blades do not attract attention and have a greater range when used as a special attack – a mix that opens up a whole new play style. Rescuing the first new member of your squad, it becomes apparent how the different abilities will affect play, with the character of Lee Broxmas only equipped with knives. These are quite versatile, but do attract unwanted attention. You start as Broney Ross (Stallone), who has a light machine gun and grenades. Seven of the movie's cast members make an appearance as playable characters, and each has their own weapon and special ability. Though small and pixelated, each spite is clear and easily distinguishable, making it easy to see if an opponent is going to shoot you or run towards you and explode without having to strain your eyes. The power lines are my favorite piece of environmental flavor, with sparks flying off them as you run their length before knocking down the generators to kill enemies beneath.Ĭharacters and enemies complement this look.
The green and brown jungle styling plays host to huts, rope bridges, and other makeshift structures. If that isn’t enough, the more modern influence of Tarraria is also apparent, with destructible landscapes allowing to create your own path through the bite-sized levels.Ī polished 16-bit visual style offers a surprising amount of detail. Taking classic platform shooting from games like Contra, The Expendabros adds a sense of verticality and agility with wall jumps that would happily have been at home in Shinobi.
Fans of games of this era should quickly see the blend of styles.
