“It's a fun way to casually waste time and probably good enough for the price. There are a lot of items and a lot of interesting characters and the game finds a good balance between luck and skill. However, I also can't…”
“After spending about 70 hours in this game, I decided to give it a negative review. When it's fun, it's really fun, but more often than not, it just feels frustrating. First of all, I enjoy the variety of characters,…”

“Amazing game, has various difficulty and characters to try and the hardest mode is actualy hard”
“What to say about Brotato? This game is super fun for anyone who likes the shooter roguelite genre. I’ve already tried several games like this, but none of them felt quite the same as Brotato. You have plenty of…”
“I picked this up thinking it’d just be a silly little brain-off survival game to kill some time when I’m bored. It is exactly that…but somehow also weirdly addictive?? Went in thinking “haha potato with weapons,” and…”

“Some of the best $5 I've ever spent on gaming. An engaging vampire survivor like game without all of the horror elements and one of the best games to listen to a podcast while playing, or just turn the volume up and…”

“This game is a fun rouge like, if you like cartoony and goofy rouge likes this game is for you. Can get repetitive after like 10 hours though”
“Brotato is a masterpiece of a game. The only issue is the repatativeness. (sorry). Although with Evil Empire taking over more content has been released more frequently.”

“Brotato is a fantastic game, one of the best "survivors-likes" on Steam. I personally prefer the term bullet heaven but this game leans more into the bullet hell genre if anything. It's much, much better than it might appear to you at first glance. Brotato has enough of its own…”
