Once you know about Brotato, you play Brotato, okay. No normal person plays Brotato and complains. This game has a 96.5% positive rating. All I ever hear is, why didn't I know about this game sooner. It's got aliens too. You must shoot them relentlessly in this top-down shooter. You're able to wield up to six weapons at a time, which seemed like the perfect number. Blobfish added co-op too. You should know that if you're into group gaming.

Gamers are throwing down too. Brotato famously hit the big ten million copies sold. I didn't even need to hound an insider to find that one out. Here it is in full expression: 10,000,000. I'm not sure if you're understanding yet, but Brotato is fun.



Brotato's a creeper, but not a creep. This game will be beloved for years. It's the type of game that seeps into your nostalgic memories. When you think back on those wonderful indie games you used to play, you'll remember Brotato first, second, or at worst third. You've probably never even met anyone who doesn't like potatos or bros, in that order.

It's even fun to say top-down shoot 'em up roguelike. Try it. The music can be a little cheesy but it's romantic and I like to bump it loud anyway. It makes wiping out troves of aliens more satisfying. This game reminds me of Vampire Survivors but prettier. Sorry Vampire Survivors, I still own two copies. Don't worry about it.



You can count on this: You will be in open areas with nowhere to hide, and infinite amounts of aliens will surround you with bad intentions. The execution on this game is perfect. I feel bad for anyone who tries to follow it. Gamers want pixels everywhere on the screen, and flashing colors too. Brotato delivered flawlessly on a top down shooter focused on a common enemy we can rally behind. None of us would trust aliens if we ever saw them. Still, we must work toward peace if that happens.
