How co-op works

Up to four local players clear the same ten-mission run-and-gun campaign, rescuing seven Expendabros whose distinct weapons and special attacks change the active character. The team advances on one screen, destroys terrain, frees replacements, and recovers fallen players by opening later cages.

About this game

The Expendabros is a free-to-play run-and-gun side-scroller inspired by the Broforce universe and the action film franchise. Up to four players team up to battle through chaotic missions, blasting through enemy forces and destructible terrain in Eastern European war zones. Cooperation is key as you rescue captured allies and survive explosive confrontations.

Gameplay revolves around fast-paced gunfights, environmental destruction, and unlocking additional playable characters styled after action heroes. Each character brings unique weapons and abilities, and the destructible levels mean constant mayhem as buildings crumble and enemies scatter. The combination of frantic shooting and team coordination makes every session feel unpredictable.

Local multiplayer supports up to four players on the same screen, with split-screen and Steam Remote Play Together options available on Windows and Mac. Sessions are short, intense, and built for quick couch sessions where friendly fire and chaotic destruction often create as much challenge as the enemies themselves.
