Brotato is a twin-stick shooter roguelite game where the player controls a potato character surviving on an alien planet. With simple but enjoyable gameplay, the focus is on movement, dodging bullets, and choosing the right power-ups. The game offers various characters, power-up combinations, and enemy types to unlock, providing a challenging and fun experience. Visually pleasing with clear graphics and adequate sound, Brotato delivers a satisfying and balanced gameplay loop.

Despite the game not having much more than its single-player and endless mode, Brotato is capable of being can't-put-down fun. Thanks to quick rounds, accessible controls, and easy upgrade options, each run has the potential to be intense and memorable. Still, Brotato's adorably violent art style and characters are begging to be more thoroughly fleshed out with lore. The game would also be a blast on handheld or mobile devices, and with a multiplayer mode where friends could join their spuds together in chaotic cooperative combat. Still, Blobfish has proven itself with Brotato, a fun action game that stars a six-weapon-wielding potato who fights alien hordes.

Brotato is an exceptional arena-based rogue-like shooter. This fast-paced and aggressive game will get under your skin and make you swear! With addictive gameplay and simple controls, this is hard to put down and easy to learn. Yet, it'll take plenty of practice and effort to master this deep and fulfilling indie title.

Turn your brain off Vampire Survivors clone. Nothing innovative to see here.

This is a fun little game where you play as a brotato, running circles around aliens and upgrading your brotato accordingly after defeating the waves. Level up for better stats and survive.

It's beyond idiotic that my build can blast through twenty waves of enemies at Tier 5 without me dying once only to be useless against the two bosses they throw at the player at the end because the developer ran out of ideas. I'll be goddamned if I force myself through another playthrough to get back to a fight that stupid, what an incredible waste my time with this game has been.

An absolute gem. Pure fun. If you are interested in something that focuses on the gameplay, look no further.

I love Brotato — I’ve purchased this game three times on different platforms: Xbox One X, Steam, and iOS!
This game is incredibly addictive, simple yet absolutely genius. I play Brotato everywhere — it’s my favorite 2D game of all time. I really appreciate the addition of the co-op feature and all the new content.
Easily a 10/10 — a brilliant tactical masterpiece!

Brotato makes up for its lacking depth, enemy variety, arena variety, and mash-up of mechanics seen elsewhere, by making the best of the combination to create an addictive title that fans of pure, arcade-like gameplay will love.

This game is really great. It is quite simple, as you are just left in a rectangle map with survival as your only goal, but man does this simple concept allow for a fun, smooth gameplay. The weapons synergise very well with the different characters, and have their own feeling. Some characters may be too easy to beat the game with, whereas some characters really are a hard mode, but I'd say you can still enjoy the game with any character, as long as you find the appropriate build.
Another thing this game does very well is shopping. Unlike some similar games, items in Brotato feel impactful and a single item can save your run, get your character to another level, or, at the complete opposite, completely ruin it. Definitely recommand this game.

I tried brotato in an extremely perfect time where I was exhausted by hard games and desire a short fabulous game that feels challenging but not frustrating. It did the job well, the game don't provide you tedious instructions but it doesn't overwhelm you with a bunch of new things. In conclusion, It is good, cheap and worth a try.

Pretty fun addicting rougelike, but the game is so simple that there isn't any real variety to everything, as even with the likely hundreds of options, they are in reality very similar. Like for weapons the only real variation is melee and ranged. There are tons of its own categories within those that give different set bonuses for using that class of weapon, and different weapons with some different abilities within those, but they all feel the same when you play. The game is very very very addicting, but fun wise it is pretty much the same from the get go with little actual variety.

Nice art style and music, but gets incredibly frustrating at higher difficulties due to the luck necessary to win. Maybe fun if you play it casually, but if you find fun in mastering the mechanics, just about every other game in the genre does it better.

Bland enemies and bland gameplay. The weapons and item combinations don't synergize well at all. It's so repetitive. This is the worst vampire-survivor-like game I've played.
