What is Brotato?

An arena survival action roguelike set on an alien planet, where a potato stranded by a spaceship crash fights while awaiting rescue. Weapons fire automatically by default as you dodge waves, gather materials for experience, and buy items between rounds; runs last under 30 minutes and support up to four players in local co-op.

What players say

96% of 119,049 reviews are positive · 89% of 1,104 in the last 30 days

Players praise the short runs, varied characters and builds, and replayability. Their most common complaint is that the recent Nightmare difficulty adds too many projectiles, feels poorly balanced, and favors damage-focused builds.
