With the worldwide release of the action star-packed movie "The Expendables 3", we also get news that the movie franchise owned by Sylvester Stallone also teamed up with Broforce to release a promotional video game that is free to download on Steam and it’s called "The Expandabros."

Developed by Devolver Digital, fans of the "The Expendables", will have access to this game if they have Steam accounts and installed the Steam Client. The free "early access" version of the video game will be available until the end of December 2014. A full version of "Broforce" which you will have to buy will be released by early 2015.

Whilst the early access version of "The Expendabros" is also a full campaign of version "Broforce", there is a caveat. This is more of a development version which will evolve over time before it's official release. What you see in the early access version will not be exactly the same with the full official version. Your playing the early access will give feedback and input to the game developer for them to improve the gaming experience. If you want to say that it's a Beta version, then you are probably correct.

The story of "Broforce" is about a powerful and underfunded paramilitary organisation that goes about its missions with excessive force.  The "Bros" will have to eliminate the terrorist forces as they proceed to the different levels in the game. In "The Expendabros" the "Bros" characters will take on the characters of some of the characters from "The Expendables 3" such as Broney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Broc (Wesley Snipes), Bronar Jenson (Dolph Lundgren), Trent Broser (Arnold Schwarzenegger), Bro Christmas (Jason Statham), Bro Caesar (Terry Crews), and Toll Broad (Randy Couture).

The game reminds us of the old Duke Nuke `Em game in the 1990s though this one's more of a side scrolling run and gun video game. If you like playing games like this that gives you a nostalgia of the old Super NES or MS DOS -based video games, then better download it whilst it's available for free. From there you can evaluate the game for several months until the full release next year, and you get to decide if you want to fork out some money to have get the 2015 release.
