PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist

One day, I want to grow up to be like the pewdiepie !!!!
He is my favorite youtuberrrrr !!! SUBSCIBE TO PEWDIPIE!! BROFEEST!!!!

A bit over 10 years ago i made my steam account exclusively to get this game. I was about 10 back then, this game was actually fire, loved every second playing it and i think up until today it's a really fun game, i really wanna thank Pewds and the crew for these memories!

After owning this game for years, I finally beat it. It's actually a fairly solid platformer, and playing on Bro difficulty really adds a lot of challenge. It's funny, but in the "it's so old, it's cringe now" way

I don't even know who this guy is or anything about him, and I still enjoyed this game, so that should tell you something. It's a pretty decent platformer with a couple of interesting mechanics, like your followers jumping in to take fatal hits for you. The humor is hit or miss, but I'm guessing I am missing a lot of inside jokes. Worth it overall.

This delightful little arcade game is full of funny and creative ideas, reminiscent of Angry Nerd games but with a lighter, sillier vibe and no offensive language. You play as a blogger on a mission to reclaim stolen fans from the Barrel King, who wants to keep all the thumb up for your videos to himself.
The enemies are mostly hopping barrels, some can shoot lasers or fly or divide into 2 smaller barrels once being hit. Your character wields attack and defense skills, my favorite attack ability is the sword that spins around you, hurting any enemy that gets close, with defense skill as a clock freezes time, letting you slip past enemies with ease.
Game map and enemies are well varied. Like in South Africa you ride and jumps on rhinos, dodge suicidal tiger sharks with bombs, and face a sniper rifle giraffe boss in the end. At the North Pole levels, you pass slippery ice, avoiding seals and exploding cows while rescuing a trapped whale. Later, you’ll encounter aliens, werewolves, bats, and even a T-Rex in a subway station with Slender Man trying to nab you... Those wild mixes of bizarre yet funny ideas work out fine.
You’ll usually have enough hearts (up to 16 when maxed out) to reach checkpoints, however, falling off the screen is an instant game over unless you have an animal friend with you. Since the game demands precise jumps, it is not uncommon to restart a level especially in special festival levels like Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine. These themed levels are nice crafted but the Valentine level is frustratingly tough. Thankfully these are optional levels, you can complete the main game without them.
For a 2015 release, PewDiePie holds up well in 2025. The creativity makes it a joy to play.

The game is very good.
As of the time of writing this review, I've been working on beating the game on the Bro difficulty after beating it on easy.
The main complaints I might have about the game are as follows:
All enemies seem to have square hitboxes, though very few, some projectiles and enemies don't perfectly match it.
Having a simple restart button would be nice. In some cases I am far in a level and know that I won't reach the end so I have to keep getting hit by enemies to restart. Going to the map and back into the level also plays cutscenes again. making it not ideal.
The story can have some odd moments that might not have aged well, (mild cringe and cutscenes cannot be skipped), but then again it's YouTubers from over a decade ago and not all of the cutscenes are too drawn out. (Except for the ending moon one with Cryatonic.) The voice acting makes it seem like everyone was recorded separately and makes the conversations seem odd.
The second difficultly, Hard, seems unnecessary, most players would likely either play Easy or Bro, Easy for casual players and Bro for those who want a challenge. Why play on Hard when playing on Bro would be more rewarding?
A timer would be nice so that players could more easily share how fast they can complete the levels. I found several tricks where small waiting sections of the level can be skipped and competing for times would be nice.
There is a softlock on one level. On the Rhino Desert Platforming level, skipping over one of the rhinos causes the game to move the camera forward. but no enemies/obstacles appear and progress is halted until death or level exit.
Overall the game is good, the main reasons why are as follows:
The controls are great. I played this on the Steam Deck and had no issues. (Though I remember having issues back when I played this on my phone, but that seems more like the nature of touchscreen controls than an issue with the game.)
Effort was put in to make the game very replayable. From collecting Patches, unlocking characters/abilities, playing the game on Pug Mode, as if Bro wasn't hard enough, and even some holiday themed additional levels.
The gameplay is great. Some small details show how great the effort for this was. For example, during the final boss, breaking many of the barrels to get a bouncer platform is technically not required. With a good timed bounce off of a barrel or Markiplier's flying power, the boss can be hit early.
Coins seem hard to farm, however the snowy level Hurry Up! makes it otherwise. Just run the level on Bro difficulty and collect coins. Fast completion with ~200 coins per level play.
Many of the patches are genuinely well hidden and fun to find. I only had to look up the location of one. Halloween level, you'll likely know which one it is after playing it.
Overall I highly recommend the game. I got the game on discount for ~$1.59. Even at full price, I would highly recommend the game. (SteamDB for users who don't want to pay full price for a game that came out a decade ago:

Nice. fun and quite challenging game. Reminds me of games from my childhood.
Very well done and I love to see the references of memes and youtubers from back the day.
The pixel art and music is the top from this game <3
