And so begins Balacera Brothers, an Indie retro-style action game from Merso Entertainment that pays homage to the side-scrolling Run-and-Gun games of the past, with a gameplay format lifted from Contra, but set in (what appears to be) the 1940s.In a crime-infested city, the brothers Harold and Benny Balacera are former mob enforcers-turned-musicians, when a Demon named Nugnur decide to unleash his forces on earth. But the brothers still have their weapons and the skills to use them, at which point they'll live up to their names by unloading a pile of balacera on Nugnur and his minions.

Gratuitous Spanish: The game's title - "Balacera" translates literally as "bullets", and that's exactly what the two brothers spend the entire game emptying on the legions of hell,

Palette Swap: In a manner reminiscent to older arcade games, both brothers uses the same character model, the difference being their skin colours and clothing - Harold has darker skin and wears light blue, Benny's skin tone is paler and wears orange. Benny also have a hat, for good measure.

True Final Boss: After defeating Nugnur, the game doesn't end immediately - the brothers need to exit and fight a gigantic skull rooted at the back of Nugnur's lair. Blowing that up reveals the way out and to the credits.

Stationary Boss: The Final Boss, unlike all previous bosses, doesn't move around. Because it's a gigantic skull attached to a wall. Doesn't stop it from firing projectiles all over the place or having the ability to drop stalagmites upon the brothers though.

Giant Space Flea from Nowhere
 Balacera Brothers (Video Game) / int_902fa0b4
comment
Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: There's a dragon boss in, oddly enough, the shipyard stage and a really odd choice of a place for a dragon to pop out. But what makes it a Space Flea is that this one looks more like a serpentine Chinese dragon, despite the game being set in the west, and that it appears by crawling out of an oil pipeline from out of the blue.

Bottomless Magazines: The brothers' Tommy Guns never needs to be reloaded. Ever. They can just keep shooting at skeletons and monsters to their heart's content, and this applies even for power-ups! (Though dying would have them respawning with the default ammunition until they re-obtain a new pickup.)
