This is one of the worst twin stick shooters I have experienced on steam and its ratings reflect that. It is clunky with a terrible interface which can be important with all the control styles available to a controller supported game. The levels and objectives are unsophisticated, the "art style" looks to be made with paint and the narrative while understandably simple in a game called "Tango Fiesta" tries to insert humor, nearly always in vain. While any co-op game can be fun with friends, this one is hard to enjoy. Buyer beware.

About This Game

Tango Fiesta is an action packed top-down cooperative two stick shooter for 1 to 4 players. Set in a world where the events from every single 80’s action film ever made actually happened to one unlucky hero called John Strong, you and up to three friends get to blast, shoot, knife, and high score your way through endless procedurally generated levels in the ultimate true story behind all those amazing movies!

4 PLAYERLOCAL COOPERATIVE PLAY!

Help John Strong as he unveils the true story behind all of your favourite classic 1980’s action flicks. Go with him if you want to believe!

SUPER EVIL BOSSES!
Every Quaid needs his Richter. Every Ripley needs her Alien Queen. Every Matrix needs his Bennett. We’re going to cover you in so many iconic, hilarious, over the top and challenging bosses you’ll wish you’d never promised to save the world.

MASSIVE ARSENAL!
Will you choose the Oozy 9mm, Arius A1, Matrix 80, Sawn-off, Viper Combat Rifle, or one of the other 25 to crush your enemies with? Say hello to every little friend you could ever want - unlock them through play and then buy them for your hero!

FULLY DESTRUCTIBLE SCENERY!
Our heroes ain’t got time to bleed, but the rest of the world doesn’t get off so lightly. Getting overrun? Destroy those Spawn Huts to stem the tide of bad guys. Stuck between a rock and a hard place? Blast your way through any wall or structure - show those bricks who’s boss!

It was better when it was early access then the final game got worse and now it's crap. Enemies have too much health, weapons do too little damage, it's boring and tedious with no pay off. Devs are also smelly.
This game is one of my favorites of all time! I love it so much! It gets very adictive and I'm sure that even more content will come as the game is under development. I have been waiting for this game to come out for months and have followed the Dev Diaries and Tweets too :D I can't recomend this game enough.
BRO FARCE. Having had some serious difficulties with running this during Early Access, both with the controls in local co-op and the game just straight up not working on my old computer (for a reason related to drive letters, I think?) I decided to come back to Tango Fiesta now that it was released. It... uh. Bleh. Guns are really bad at describing what they do before you use them in a level, which is fantastic since they're all terrifically expensive and several of them are an incredible pain to unlock via any method except running around in circles killing easy enemies for an hour, since you need to get hundreds of thousands of points in a single run. "But points! You get them by doing well!" Well, actually you don't get all that many by doing well, because you get points for killing enemies en masse, and you complete levels by ignoring most of the enemies and destroying the objectives, since enemies infinitely respawn and can be rather tough... especially enemy corporals, who som...
Shooty guns! 80s action hero... uh... action! Decent twin stick shooter. Get it if you like 'em!
Awesome drop in and play game that great as a couch game with friends. Working together is really the best option. Also on early access there have been awesome updates that really have added to the game since launch.
I cannot recoocmend this game, at all. It's a twin stick shooter that doesn't use the second stick for shooting, just aiming... Enemies take way too much damage, objectives are extremely repetitive and dull(such as hold A button next to a radio tower to fill the meter or shoot a building for 4 mins, both while enemies spawn around the point). Seriously, it's clunky, awkward and bizzare for a twin stick shooter. Just buy any other twin stick shooter, it will be guaranteed better than this pill of junk.
SHOOT LOTS OF MOOKS, GRAB LOTS OF MONEY, HAVE LOTS OF FUN
Feb 1 Early Access Review: 1. Submerge Broforce in Nuclear Throne. 2. Dilute awesomeness with drunk icefishing physics. 3. Break until broken. Mission COfaMiPLleETdE Today: Give it a qualified Thumbs Up. It's a by-the-book arena twin-stick shooter a la Geometry Wars, made by a small studio. Solid mechanics. Crisp vector-based cell-shaded aesthetic looks alright but it's out of place in a contemporary game intent on exploiting '80s pop culture nostalgia. Lingering concerns: frame stutters with a screen full of enemies, framerate drops with extended play (suggestive of a memory leak somewhere), texture flickering after an enemy's death is distracting, the coarse language detracts from the experience (think UnEpic, Kane and Lynch: Dead Men, Always Sometimes Monsters) rather than adding to the atmosphere and style (think The Darkness II, Spec Ops: The Line, Kane and Lynch 2, Far Cry 3). Still, there's enough that's good here to keep Spilt Milk Studios on my radar.
This Game Is Absolutly Amazing. The Style Of it is something that I havent seen before and its originaltity gets you hooked on it. I havent tried co-op yet but will in future. The only issue is that there is no way to exit the game,you have to tab out or open task manager to end it.
