11 Great Games You Probably Forgot Were Once Early Access

Broforce

It’s a lot of fun to tear through Broforce’s pixelated levels, reducing enemies to bloody pulps and learning the ins and outs of the game’s massive cast. Each character has unique weapons and skills that interact with the levels and enemies differently. And because every level can be blown to smithereens, firing randomly is not a good tactic.

Born out of a game jam, the title was then worked on for a year or two before it slid into Early Access. With such a massive cast of characters, it makes sense that the developers would want to let players get their hands on the title, putting it through its paces and suggesting balances to overpowered characters.
