This weekend, we celebrate our nation's independence. We celebrate America, the greatest nation on Earth! And of course, no game is going to celebrate all that is America (or "MURICA," to you denizens of the Internet) quite like Devolver Digital and Free Lives' Broforce, for li-bro-ty and justice for all! They are issuing a new 'Death From Above' update for the game, to go along with your weekend of hot dogs and ham-bro-gers.

The 'Death From Above' update welcomes in two new characters. The explosive Colonel James Broddock brings in his array of grenades, while Cherry Broling (the game's second female bro) brings out a terror-inducing assault rifle bro-sthetic leg. The new update will also introduce some bug fixes that will take care of any lingering bro-ken issues. That full list can be found here.

To help celebrate the weekend of our nation's independence, Broforce is 33% off on Steam this weekend. Find it on Steam Early Access.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. 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?
