Brotato

Brotato is a roguelite with arena-shooter elements, developed by Blobfish and released in 2023. In this game, you take on the role of an anthropomorphic potato armed to the teeth, fighting off endless waves of aliens. Its humorous concept, dynamic gameplay, and build variety have made Brotato a standout title in its genre.

The story is simple but sets a lighthearted and humorous tone. The main character, a potato named Brotato, has miraculously survived a spaceship crash on a hostile alien planet. Now, he must fend off hordes of enemies until rescuers arrive. This straightforward narrative provides a foundation for the action-packed gameplay. Gameplay is the core of the experience. Brotato lets players control their character from a top-down perspective, dodging enemy attacks while simultaneously mowing down waves of foes. A unique feature of the protagonist is the ability to wield up to six weapons simultaneously. Weapons fire automatically, but there's an option for manual aiming to focus attacks more precisely. The short runs, typically lasting less than 30 minutes, make the game ideal for quick gaming sessions. The game is divided into waves, each lasting 20 to 90 seconds. Between waves, players can spend collected materials in the shop to purchase upgrades and items. This adds a layer of strategy, as the choice of weapons, modifications, and tactics directly impacts success in the next round. With adjustable settings, such as enemy health and speed, the difficulty can be tailored to individual preferences. Brotato's graphics feature a minimalist 2D style with bright, cartoonish visuals that emphasize the game's light and comedic nature.
