The Expendabros Loud couch co-op chaos

Run and gun through ten short missions with seven soldiers and up to three friends, where every fight ends in explosions and laughter.

Is The Expendabros worth it?

The Expendabros is worth it if…

  • you want a short, loud burst of action rather than a long campaign
  • you like old-school run 'n gun shooters with pixel art and a chiptune energy
  • you enjoy movies that take themselves exactly as seriously as this game does
  • you have friends on the same couch and a taste for friendly fire

Blow up the whole level

Almost everything here can be destroyed. Walls collapse, floors crumble, bridges go down, and an explosion can open a new route or drop the ground out from under a squad of soldiers. The obvious path is only a suggestion: you can shoot through buildings, blast obstacles apart, or level a fortified base until it is a pile of pixel rubble. It makes each mission feel less like a left-to-right run and more like reshaping the battlefield while dodging whatever falls.

Seven bros, seven ways to fight

You play as seven legendary soldiers, each with their own weapons and special attack. One carries a grenade launcher, another a machine gun with a chainsaw, another brings more unusual explosives. Rescuing your brothers in arms mid-mission adds them to the roster, and when one falls the next one steps in, so your loadout keeps changing. Each hero plays differently enough that switching forces you to rethink how you push through a level, and learning who suits close-range mayhem and who suits precision becomes part of the fun.

Four players, one couch, zero plans

Up to four players can team up in local co-op, and that is where the game gets properly ridiculous. Alone it is a fast shooter; with friends it turns into a shared mess of accidental explosions, last-second rescues and a screen that looks like total war. Nobody's plan survives contact with the first grenade, and the comedy comes from exactly that. It is an easy game to drop into for a session: join up, start shooting, and let the chaos sort itself out.
