PlayStation Plus Free Games: 'Broforce' Chosen For 'Vote To Play' For March
The PlayStation Plus community has spoken: after concluding the "Vote to Play" initiative where members voted for the game that they want to include in the list of free games for the month of March, the side-scrolling action game "Broforce" got the most number of votes and has been revealed as the first free game on PlayStation Plus. According to a report in GameSpot, while members of PS Plus are waiting for the official line-up of free games for the month of March, "Broforce" has already been announced.
"Broforce" was the favorite among the three games up for selection, which also included the speed platform game "Action Henk" and the arcade-style speed shooter "Assault Android Cactus." At one point, "Action Henk" was leading in the poll but eventually "Broforce" took the lead.
"Broforce" is a side-scrolling "run and gun" shooting game that was developed by Free Lives. It was earlier released in October 2015 for PC, OS X, and Linux and is set to be released for the PlayStation 4 console this year. The game is described as one that brings back the 80's-era action heroes and their moves, coupled with an online multiplayer experience. The game's publisher is Devolver Digital.
