What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $2.99, set in August 2021. It has been discounted 98 times in the 12 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 15 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 83 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Expendabros (free, scores 95) beats it on value, while it beats Duck Game ($12.99, scores 92).
83 from critics against 97 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 3 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2022 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 89 percent of the 4,466 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
It is really fun and replayable. I love how the levels are specifically designed to cause as much chaos as possible. the gameplay is really fun and chaotic, and the online play and level editor makes it hard to stop playing. it is a great game to have fun with your freinds. you HAVE to play this.
A great platformer that looks like a mindless action game at first, but becomes surprisingly throughtful as the difficulty increases. The huge variety of characters keeps the gameplay fresh, and the satire is a big part of its charm. A classic that is still a lot of fun. 100% steam achievements Time : 29.9H Completion Difficulty : 7/10 Playthroughs : 3 recommended - 2 possible Missables : None Notable requirements ...
I was expecting a traditional platformer but it's actually more of a party game. I think you see most of what it has to offer in the first stages. There's not much depth beyond that. After a while all the chaos and accidental deaths gets tiresome.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Broforce scores 93/100 on the BANG Score (a BANGER). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/274190/broforceThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 12, price as of Sep 24.
