Steam artwork — Brotato
Quick read

Brotato is an arena roguelite where you play a potato holding up to six weapons at once: survive twenty short waves of aliens, then spend what they drop in a shop between waves.

What kind of game is it?

Top-down arena survival in short waves. The weapons fire on their own; the player moves, dodges and collects materials, then spends them between waves on weapons and items. Dozens of characters bend the rules of the run, each with its own bonuses and penalties.

Who is it for?

For players who want a whole run between two coffees and a new character to try right after.

What makes it different?

The shop between waves is where a run is won: which weapons to combine, which item to lock for later, and when to spend on armour.
