The worst aspect of this game is the hundreds of hours you could spend playing all those AAA games you bought on sale to put your PC specs to the test will be spent on this instead, a Potato game that can run on actual Potatoes.
i uninstalled the game. it was the only way i could stop playing. i'll be back in two weeks.
New stuff added with new developer was okay t first, but they took it too far and ruined the core of the game.
처음 할 때, 튜토리얼 없이 바로 시작해서 이게 뭔가 싶었지만. 그 만큼 단순하고 심플한 게임이다. 하지만 재미는 확실히 있다. 무기도 종류 별로 매력 있고, 밤 새서 할 수도 있는 게임이다. 오늘 도전과제를 다 클리어 하였으나, 올해 새로운 dlc, 도전과제가 또 나오니 그 때 복귀할것이다.
The last update is not fun it's BAD. I wouldn't say it's hard either cause if the shop gives you what you need half of the time it's kind of bearable but that's just luck and that would be fine with me if I were playing a slot machine. Having the new difficulty and harder enemies is a great but fighting the shop to be able to do so with so much niche useless ♥♥♥♥ that works on like 5 characters not even remotely related to what yours does is the top reason I now despise playing this game that I've put absurd time in. Even winning feels like a chore cause you skill didn't change at all it's just the run you had won against the shop. And this may be your 1st or 2nd one but most of the time is the 15th that you started over anywhere between round 3 and 14.
I like the game as something to play while I listen to video essays or music. It's just an overall fun game and I like that depending on what I pick I'll have to change how I play. Plus the DLCs are free so that's great. It's a fun bullet hell game.
Brotato is more of a cute distraction than it is a fun game, but don't let that deter you from giving it a try if you like the genre and that's what you're after. For me personally, it feels lacking in the exploration and roguelite elements that kept me coming back for another round of similar action/bullet hail games like Vampire Survivors and Binding of Isaac. All you do is survive each 60-second wave by mashing the WASD keys to evade enemies while your various weapons automatically fire on the purple alien mobs rushing you. Lather, rinse, repeat for all the waves. It's more like a mini-game than a whole game, but if you grab it on sale, maybe that will suffice for you. Yes, you can get a lot of adorable items like the catling gun that fights alongside you, and the hedgehog you wear on your head, but it doesn't change the fact that you're perpetually stuck in the same brown dirt square fighting (mostly) the same aliens over and over again until you win or they overtake you. You do start getting more beefed up versions of the mobs by Wave 8 or so, but with the exception of the bosses, they felt generic and forgettable. The one enjoyable part is the Shop. It can feel satisfying when the Shop RNG finally gives you the weapon you need to upgrade your build, or an item that synergizes well with your strengths. But then you're back to the dirt square to WASD around more purple aliens, and the concept wears thin quickly. The 3 best things I can say they got right are: the artwork, respecting your time, and respecting your hard drive space. But the experience didn't stick with me, and I didn't feel compelled to try ramping up the difficulty or playing through all the characters. It's not a game I would refund, but definitely one to uninstall and then go read a book.
Brotato is good. I didn't quite have the magnetic, addictive pull to this that I had to its close cousin in Vampire Survivors, but it is certainly a tight, entertaining experience. While not as purely imaginative, I enjoy Brotato's bold-lined, cutesy art style far more than the pixel-throwback style of Vampire Survivors, which does a lot to carry it. The music is also superior, although Brotato seems to suffer from a lack of variety on that front. There's enough here to unlock and enough different play styles to keep one engaged. This is a perfect Steam Deck game for me; it runs superbly well and is a great pick-up and put-down title when you have a few minutes to kill, or simply want to turn your brain off for a while after a hectic, stressful day. Recommended to folks who enjoy roguelites or bullet heaven. Solid game. 🧾 Feel free to follow [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32979487-Greatjon-Umber/]my Curator page[/url] if you like my reviews.
Completely worth the price, even when off-sale, it'll be worth the $5 with the amount of replayability. Suggestion for players, get the 'multiplayer zoom mod', which expands your FoV to the entire playable grid like in multiplayer, it definitely helps!
Brotato is a great game, it is really good with friends as it's simple gameplay allows you to not put all your focus into the game making it a great game to play while having a conversation. I love all the different items and charcters, there is always somthing new to try.
