Brotato
Brotato is a 2023 top-down shoot 'em up roguelite video game developed by French independent developer Thomas Gervraud under the studio name Blobfish. It was initially released in early access on Steam in 2022, during which it sold over one million copies. Brotato has garnered positive reviews from both critics and players and has since been ported to multiple platforms. GameplayPlayers control one of several potatoes from a top-down perspective. Many of these characters are unlocked at the start and possess different starting attributes. The objective is to defeat as many waves of enemies as possible using the potato. After each wave, players can upgrade and enhance various attributes and weapons, which can be purchased with materials collected during gameplay. Brotato is classified as a shoot 'em up. Shooting is automatically managed by the computer, although players have the option to change this setting to enable manual aiming.[2] Development and releaseBrotato is the fourth game developed by Blobfish, a one-man indie studio based in Lyon, France during its development.[3] It entered early access on Steam for Windows on September 27, 2022, followed by the full release on June 23, 2023.[4] The Android and iOS ports, developed and published by Erabit Studios, were released on March 28, 2023.

Rock Paper Shotgun, which reviewed the game during early access, compared it to "a hit Flash game on Newgrounds in 2006". While they appreciated the retro gameplay, they noted that death occurred a bit too easily.[2] TouchArcade remarked that although it initially appears to be a simple clone of Vampire Survivors, it incorporates roguelike elements and is more strategic, thereby establishing a distinct identity.[10] Screen Rant described the game mechanics as addictive, quick, and easily accessible, providing ample freedom for strategy and experimentation. The website included it in their list of the best indie games of 2022.[11] Digital Trends referred to it as a "smart evolution of the Vampire Survivors formula" that emphasizes more dynamic character builds.[12] It was one of the most popular roguelite games on Steam in 2022 and 2023,[13] receiving "overwhelmingly positive" reviews from users.[12] As of September 2022, it had sold over a million copies.[14] It was nominated for "Best Steam Deck Game" at the 2023 Steam Awards.[15] NotesReferences
