Hi, freedom lovers!
Our latest game is now available on Steam and we're inviting you to the party. Anger Foot is a single-player first-person "booter" about kicking down doors, kicking in faces, and collecting kickass sneakers.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1978590/Anger_Foot/
Something smells in Shit City ...and it ain't the feet!
Lace-up a capricious collection of formidable footwear to fight through a diverse series of deranged city districts.
[previewyoutube=7kJo0miz08g;full][/previewyoutube]
The road to launch was an exceptionally fun one for us. We poured our hearts, souls, and skeletons into making this world come to life.
Starting as a simple shooter game made as a Seven Day FPS [7dfps] jam prototype, Anger Foot grew into a game that we're incredibly proud of.
We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we did making it.
P.S. Just before launch, Anger Foot took his kicking door and bad attitude to the British seaside this week to fight seagulls and win the hearts of Develop attendees. See how it went below.

P.P.S. While you're waiting for it to download, why don't you prepare your feet for action by taking a glance at the game manual available on the right-hand side in your Steam library?
We couldn't have made it this far without your support and input.
Join our community on Discord to share your experiences, give feedback, and stay updated on all things Anger Foot.

- Fixed versus mode not working.

A message from the Free Lives devs
That's it, it's finally out! Fun fact - getting this update out the door took longer than the entire rest of the game took to make. When we started it we thought it would be funny to call it "BROFORCE Forever", but nobody is laughing now. We had various elaborate ideas for the update - including things such as procedurally generated levels, or a standalone roguelite spinoff version of the game. Unfortunately, for various reasons - mostly that the ideas were bad and the execution worse - they did not work out. However, we did manage to scavenge some playable crumbs from that desert of disappointment and combine them into a substantial update (which happens to include desert levels) that we're proud of and that we hope you'll like as well. The best way to play this update, in our opinion, is to start a new game and replay the entire campaign and enjoy that nostalgic feeling you get about that time about ten years ago when we made you feel nostalgic about a time about twenty years before that. You can perhaps consider going on an elaborate recruiting mission beforehand to find all your old bros from years ago and get them back together for one last mission. Even though they said they were done and they are too old for this shit, their sense of duty to liberty, justice and freedom will compel them to save the world from Satanic terrorist aliens - just this one last time. Finally, we'd like to say thanks again to everyone for the support over the years. The reception of Broforce has surpassed every hope we could have had and we are forever grateful for that. Thanks also to all our collaborators, who are too many to mention, for all the invaluable contributions over the years. We'd also like to apologise to Special Reserve and the people who preordered the physical version of the game - the delays are totally on us as we really wanted the physical version of Broforce to represent the definitive and final version of the game. We'd also like to apologise for ignoring everyone's bro suggestions and adding Seth Brondle instead. [previewyoutube=8c2aYrFV9uE;full][/previewyoutube]
The Update
The final update offers an improved and expanded campaign with new unlocks, along with six new ultra patriotic bros, four new new democracy-spreading challenge levels, and the ultimate expression of military might bug fixes! The best way for a returning player to enjoy this is to play through the entire campaign again. And again. Forever.
The Bros
Seth Brondle
Harness the calculating intelligence and acid-spitting allure of Broforce Forevers biggest bug yet! Climb on ceilings and utilise explosive teleportation as you swat evildoers like flies.
Xebro
Use your formidable fighting and flying Chakram skills to help those who are unable to defend themselves. Strike fear into the hearts of terrorism with your war cry, then cut them up real good with your sword.
Desperabro
Harness the power of music to enchant evil before blowing it away with dual sawn-off shotguns. Every man deserves one last chance to dance before he dies.
Broffy the Vampire Slayer
Become the thing monsters have nightmares about, a stake throwing, unholy purging, self-resurrecting teenage Slayer!
Burt Brommer
Embrace freedom in the most patriotic way possible: OVERKILL. Snipe your way around the world vanquishing evil with pinpoint accuracy, or just get back to basics and ram dynamite down its throat.
Demolition Bro
Send a maniac to catch a maniac! With his Bouncing Bomberman Bomb and Freeze Grenade, this Bro is ready to put evildoers right back where they belong ON ICE.
New Features
THE BADDIES
A Bro only becomes a force when confronted with those who seek to destroy their freedoms, and in Broforce Forever, the terrorists are even more determined to delete democracy. Motorbike Maniacs will try to run you down or explode in ways that can really ruin your day. Dont let them! Ammunition-obsessed baddies now also have access to extremely large machine gun placements that will fire volleys of bullets at you and your fellow Bros, while aviation enthusiasts transport troops and fire bazookas from on high in their liberty-shunning new blimps. Nobody suns liberty, bro. Finally, urban terror has been greatly improved with barbed wire and sandbags strewn throughout cities, making liberation trickier but not impossible.
Muscle Temples
Bros in search of even bigger battles can flex their muscles in new challenge levels known as Muscle Temples. Each campaign tasks Indiana Brones with navigating a perilous temple that features a new Threat Level and specific enemy types and hazards. Succeed and unlock one of four new flexes that can be deployed by any Bro, any time, any place. Just like freedom.
and speaking of flexing...

Fellow Bros!
On this glorious new day, we can't be consumed by our petty differences any longer. We will fight side by side. We will be united for a common goal. On August 8, Broforce Forever will land. And it's the final update. Perhaps its fate that today is the announcement of Broforce Forevers release date and you will once again be fighting for freedom not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution but from annihilation. When we set out to make the most patriotic game almost a decade ago, we knew we needed to fill it to the bucket-brim with Kentucky-fried action. Did you make memories fighting alongside your bros? Did you have a literal blast along the way? We've put the game back on sale at a whopping 80% OFF to celebrate, so get more copies for all your bros! We hope we've done all of you freedom-fighters proud. Even though this may be the final update, we will be Bros in arms, forever.
Join us for Broforce Forever on August 8

NEW BROS!
The latest update to Broforce includes two new lightning wielding bros of Lambertian origin, the immortal Brolander and thunder god Broden, each with their own attacks and special moves.
TACTICAL OPS!
Tactical missions far behind enemy lines... with a single bro. Players can test their Broforce knowledge in these missions and maybe learn a couple tricks in the process.
SUPPLY DROPS!
All bros now have access to new tactical items like All-American Supply Drops, alien pheromones to distract xenomorphs, and performance enhancing drugs for that extra little boost when the odds are against them.
BROFORCE SOUNDTRACK
The Freedom EP - a five-track album of Broforce music including The Ballad of Rambro and the Broforce theme song - is available for free as part of your Broforce purchase. You can also purchase the whole Broforce soundtrack produced by Jo Ellis and Deon van Heerden, containing no less than 55 tracks for $4.99...and no, that's not a typo. The soundtrack proceeds go to the musicians, so not only are you investing in some ridiculously cool music, you're also helping said starving musicians to keep making said awesome music. Featuring the Broforce theme song by Strident, ultra-patriotic tracks The Ballad of Rambro and The Star Spangled Banner, massive percussion ensemble level music, power metal stings and epic hybrid scoring boss battles, this is the sound of a vinyl needle dragging over a disk made of pure testosterone. It also includes a ton of bonus tracks, such as music from the (mumble mumble)-Award-winning Expendables 3 tie-in game, ExpendaBros, the original proof of concept tracks, and that fiddly-fiddly guitar solo that plays at the end of the levels. Hell yeah! Deon gives us some fun facts about the making of the Broforce soundtrack: [quote] Personnel: Deon van Heerden (Composition, arrangement, guitars, MIDI programming) Christian Burgess (Drums and percussion) Jo Ellis (Production, mix and master. Also bass and additional guitars. And cowboy hat.) The album's massive percussion tracks were achieved by blending sample libraries with countless layers of live percussion - played by Christian Burgess of Strident - recorded at Jo Ellis' Blue Room Studios, as well as the Ladismith Church Hall. This live percussion included standard drum kits, anvils, rain sticks, tablas, djembes and Chris' own body. You know, because we could. The album features none of those amp simulators the kids are using nowadays. These are all Vintage Marshalls, baby. A Super Bass and a JCM800, to be precise. We used 12 different guitars; partly for a rich, varied sonic experience, and partly (well, mostly) just because we could.[/quote]
ROAD TO FREEDOM!
Road to Freedom is the new series that presents a tell-all depiction of independent game development. Set during the final days of Broforce's 3 year development, Road to Freedom provides a frank look into the lives of the people behind the bromance, and delivers their stories in ways as hard-hitting and explosive as Broforce itself. Episode 6, which will be live in the next two hours, is an epic recount of the final moments to launch. Experience what it was like for us, the Free Lives team, as the clock finally hit zero.

The United States of America – The freedom loving developer Free Lives and their democratically elected publisher Devolver Digital have announced that international sensation Broforce will shed its Early Access shackles and proceed with Operation Full Release on October 15. The full launch of America’s favorite freedom simulator will include a new set of challenging campaign missions as the bros charge into Satan’s stronghold for a final confrontation in hell with the dark lord himself!
To celebrate this forthcoming triumph of electronic entertainment, Free Lives and Broforce musician Deon van Heerden have released the ultra patriotic Freedom EP – a five-track album of Broforce music including The Ballad of Rambro and the Broforce Theme. The Freedom EP is free as a thank you to Broforce Early Access owners from now until launch on October 15 after which it will be prohibitively expensive but that’s capitalism for you.

“Broforce is the culmination of decades of American military superiority distilled into one sweet ass motherfucking video game,” said US Department of Defense Secretary Ashton Carter. “It’s even got versus mode and online co-op, bro.” P.S. If you've ever wanted to take a sneak peek behind the scenes of our studio as we develop this labour of love, check out the first few episodes of ROAD TO FREEDOM on our YouTube channel F R E E L I V E S! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDw15_6P1IOIzHKV7vrzB9g "Set during the final days of Broforce's 3 year development, Road to Freedom provides a frank look into the lives of the people behind the bromance, and delivers their stories in ways as hard-hitting and explosive as Broforce itself."
