What's a bro to do once liberty and freedom has been spread across all corners of the planet? Democracy has spread, the bad guys are dead, and there's nothing left to blow up. So what's next?

It's time to fight aliens. Duh!

The over-the-top 2D action fragfest Broforce has received its largest update so far called Alien Infestation, adding a whole new campaign. And as is the natural progression of the type of action movies this game is lampooning, the next step is to battle an extra-bro-restrial menace. Look for new stages, as well as whole new enemy types that take inspiration from 80s and 90s films, like chest bursters, Facehuggers, and sandworms. Additional alien content will be coming in future updates, with developer Free Lives already working on a Contra-style boss for the next one.

Broforce remains a part of Steam Early Access, but is getting a 25 percent discount to celebrate the new update. Check out just how much the mood changes in the trailer below.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
