Brotato: A Top-Rated Roguelike with a 96% Score, Now Free to Play

Elden Ring is renowned for its challenging gameplay, and a tense match in Counter-Strike 2 can undoubtedly get your heart racing. However, when it comes to the PC gaming scene, nothing quite matches the intense experience that roguelikes deliver. This genre has flourished in recent years with standout titles like Dead Cells, Cult of the Lamb, and Hades, each offering their own unique thrills. But there’s another game vying for the top spot that you don’t have to spend a dime on. With an impressive 96% rating on Steam, Brotato, despite its quirky style and offbeat premise, is arguably one of the most exhilarating roguelike shooters you can dive into right now.

The game kicks off with a bit of a predicament in Potato World. After an expedition spacecraft crashes on an alien world, Brotato, our potato-shaped hero sporting a bandana, finds himself surrounded by waves of ferocious wildlife and mutants. Luckily, this spud can handle six firearms simultaneously. This sets the stage for a fast-paced roguelike shooter experience where each session lasts about 30 minutes, with the screen teeming with projectiles and adversaries.

In this game, you’ll encounter a dizzying array of weapons, and your main goal is to endure the relentless waves of speedy foes. The guns fire automatically, so your task is to masterfully maneuver Brotato’s numerous arms while dodging incoming threats. Between enemy waves, you’ll visit the shop to upgrade your arsenal and acquire new abilities. Plus, there’s a co-op mode available where you can team up with three other potato buddies. You can also fine-tune the difficulty, adjusting aspects like enemy health, speed, and damage to tailor the challenge to your liking.

The community response to Brotato has been overwhelmingly positive, with 96% of the 81,000 reviews on Steam praising its gameplay, earning it the coveted ‘overwhelmingly positive’ status. If you haven’t tried it out yet, now’s your chance to snag it for free on PC for a limited time.

Just head on over to the Epic Games Store. If you’re already a member, you can add Brotato to your library instantly. If not, simply create an account, and it’s yours to download. This offer runs from Thursday, November 28 until Thursday, December 5. Don’t miss out on grabbing your free copy right here.
