Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.00 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The primary risks in Broforce stem from its content, which includes frequent and intense violence as players fight 'terrorists' and cause large-scale destruction. There is also a notable level of nationalistic propaganda, with objectives centered around planting the American flag on enemy territory. Mild language may also be present, consistent with its parody theme.
