''Gun Bros'' is a [[Top Down View|Top-Down]] [[Shoot
It's [[The Future]], and the [[Mooks|evil forces]] of [[Fun
The player controls either [[Expy|Percy]] [[Hulk Hogan|Gun]] or [[Angry Black Man|Francis Gun]] and proceeds to lay waste to hordes of [[Mooks]], accompanied by the AI using whichever brother not picked. The player uses twin touch-based "thumbsticks" to control movement and shooting, respectively. The player can equip two different guns and switch between them at will, and use "Smartillery" [[Power
The game is divided up into waves, 50 per mission, or "revolution". Each world contains multiple revolutions, and there are multiple worlds. Each successive wave, revolution or world yields greater rewards but also tougher foes. You earn [[Experience Points]] and [[Power Glows|glowing]] purple [[Green Rocks|Xplodium]] crystals as you play. [[Level Up|Leveling Up]] increases your maximum health, and you can increase the Xplodium you receive by clearing waves without taking any damage, thus increasing your "Xplodium multiplier". Dying resets this multiplier but not your overall progress- you can begin from the last wave you reached. When you return to the menu, you can then refine your Xplodium for cash to purchase new guns, armor and [[Power
The game can be connected to your Facebook account, which allows you to recruit your friends' Bros to aid you in battle, thus replacing the default AI bro who is stuck with starting gear. Doing so also earns you bonuses. There are also daily challenges for rewards, asking that you [[Play Every Day]].
----{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Bomb]]: The T.O.O.L. suicide bombers. [[Fate Worse Than Death|They've been tortured into insanity by their helmet video feeds endlessly looping]] [[What Do You Mean
* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]: However, the clothes confer useful stat boosts.
* [[Angry Black Man]]: Francis.
* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: [[Fire
* [[Bald of Awesome]]: Both Bros, at least by default. You can give them various stat-boosting hairstyles.
* [[Badass]]: In spades.
** [[Back
** [[Badass Beard]]: Percy sports one, linked to his [[Badass Mustache]] for the full wrap-around combo.
** [[Cool Shades]]: The Slick Shades, which combined with the rest of the Slick gear turns your Bro into a super spy.
Line 29 ⟶ 28:
** [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: A certain armor gives the Bros these.
** [[Lantern Jaw of Justice]]: Ayup.
** [[World of Badass]]: The Bros are in good company, [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink|living in a cracked-out sci-fi galaxy]] populated by [[Recycled in Space|Space]] [[Samurai]], [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja|Ninja,]] [[
* [[Bash Brothers]]: Guess.
* [[BFG]]: And then some. Your starting pistols, the Whippersnappers, are bigger then the Bros' heads and they just get bigger from there.
** The update added the Kraken missile launcher which seems to be the ultimate end all be all gun, which costs 1400 warbucks, which would take ages to earn through challenges, and if you were to buy warbucks for it, it would cost around $200. The description is epic, though.

* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Just keep shooting, bro.
* [[Chainsaw Good]]: The Bros can use the a circular Buzzsaw weapon, while Haven's basic enemy, the Buzzkill, uses a chainsaw.
* [[Death From Above]]: You can call in various forms of support strikes, ranging from the "Shock and Awesome" air strike, to [[Kill Sat|an orbital beam]] from F.R.A.G.G.E.D. HQ, to a full-on [[Nuclear Option|nuclear strike.]]
* [[Deflector Shield]]: The "Green Shield" [[Power
* [[Energy Weapon]]: Several guns, like most spread guns and the Energy Gauntlet weapon, as well as the newly added [[Frickin' Laser Beams|laser gun.]]
* [[Evolving Weapon]]: Guns acquire "mastery" as you use them, [[Level Up|Leveling Up three times total,]] each conferring and experience bonus and an increased chance to deal [[Critical Hit|Critical Hits.]]
* [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Expy]]: Percy Gun sort of looks like a bald [[Hulk Hogan]].
* [[Fire
* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]: T.O.O.L. grew from [[Murder, Inc.|a band of criminals]] into an [[NGO Superpower]] bent on galactic domination.
* [[Gatling Good]]: The XL Grinder, a five-barrel minigun. [[Up to Eleven|If that isn't enough,]] try the XXL Mulcher, two tri-barrel gatlings stuck together. Still need [[More Dakka]]? Then invest in the XXXL Liquifier- a whopping ''[[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|three]]'' tri-barrel gatlings in one mucho shooty package.
** An update added the Quad Blender, which is ''four'' goddamn gatlings in one. Cue the carnage.
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: How the Bros use any pistols. They also do this with [[Trick Arrow|explosive crossbows]] and ''[[Machete Mayhem|machete]] [[Impossibly Cool Weapon|launchers.]]''
* [[Fun
* [[Heavily Armored Mook]]: The aforementioned [[Fire
* [[Healing Shiv]]: Healing ''explosives.'' Available in grenade, stack of plastic explosive, and nuke sizes.
* [[Helmets Are Hardly Heroic]]: It's stated that the Bros never wear their standard-issue helmets. [[Armor Is Useless|Armor is most definitely not useless, though,]] so you can [[Averted Trope|avert this right off the bat]] by equipping one of many useful [[Cool Helmet|Cool Helmets.]]
Line 63 ⟶ 62:
* [[RPG Elements]]: You gain [[Experience Points]] and [[Level Up]] to get more maximum health, while your guns become more likely to land a [[Critical Hit]].
* [[Screaming Shooter]]: On the title screen, and in one trailer.
* [[Shout
** A weapon called the Pulse Rifle makes mention that it's very good at taking out [[Aliens|drooling E.T.s on derelict mining vessels.]]
** The description for a tri-barrel shotgun called The Boss notes that you will [[Department of Redundancy Department|show them who's boss,]] [[The Lonely Island|like a boss.]]
Line 75 ⟶ 74:
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Often, thanks to [[Exploding Barrels]] and a selection of rocket launchers available to the Bros.
* [[Testosterone Poisoning]]: Much of the flavor text portrays the Bros as being improbably manly, as you've probably discerned by this point. Case in point, their favorite headgear- the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Man-danna.]] "[[Shirtless Scene|Shirtless]]" is a wearable item.
* [[Top
* [[One
* [[Universal Currency]]: Two. Coins can be obtained from refining Xplodium, while Warbucks must be earned from challenges. Many better items can only be purchased with Warbucks. Warbucks can be converted into coins, a rate of 500 coins to the buck. [[Bribing Your Way to Victory|Both types can be purchased through the magic of micro-transactions.]]
* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: The newly-added planet Bokor is a planet-sized toxic waste dump crawling with the unruly dead.
