Released on June 23, 2023, Brotato is developed and published by Blobfish. It is actually a top-down arena shooter roguelite game where, as well mentioned earlier, you take on the role of a potato.

But not just any potato. A weapon-wielding potato.

The potato's name, as you may have already guessed is Brotato, the sole survivor when a plane from Potato World crashes into another planet. While waiting to be rescued, what you should do as Brotato is to use up to six weapons at a time to keep yourself safe from the hostile environment.

What to Expect from the Game

Brotato features fast runs that last for around 30 minutes or even less, while waves can last from around 20 to 90 seconds. Your goal, quite simply, is to kill as many enemies as you can during that span of time.

There are dozens of characters available that you can customize so that your runs can go the way you want them. You also get variety in the weapons that you can equip so that you can last longer in the game. Among the weapons you will encounter are rocket launchers, flamethrowers, and even the most basic sticks and stones.

Here is the full release trailer for Brotato to get a better idea of the game.

Steam Reviews for Brotato

Brotato has more than 69,000 reviews on Steam as of press time. These reviews are generally described as "Overwhelmingly Positive" by the platform.

"Another 'one of those' that seems plain on it's surface and at the start of each run," user bisickle says in a Steam review. "But as you progress, especially after the 15th wave, the items and upgrades and abilities become very hectic. Great game."

"Brotato has a highly addictive game-play loop with fun weapons and hilarious characters (potatoes), all with their own unique play-style," user Crimson Agent says in a separate review. "Difficulty levels add more nail biting moments and completing said levels opens up more POTATOES and weapons."
