Our curated list of the best roguelikes showcases the incredible variety this genre offers, from the strategic card-play of Balatro to the puzzling depths of Blue Prince, and the bullet-hell chaos of Vampire Survivors. Falling squarely into the latter category is Brotato, a fast-paced, top-down auto-shooter known for its intense action and stellar Steam reviews. We’re thrilled to announce a special giveaway where you can snag free Steam keys for the base game and its fantastic Abyssal Terrors DLC. Keep reading to find out how to enter!
Imagine a game where the concept feels like a wonderfully wild brainstorming session: ‘You’re a sentient potato… wielding up to six absurdly powerful weapons simultaneously… battling hordes of aliens!’ That’s Brotato in a nutshell, and it works brilliantly. Much like other bullet-heaven titles, your attacks are automatic, but success demands clever strategic loadout choices and masterful movement across each chaotic map.
The game features a diverse array of alien enemies, each with unique behaviors and attack patterns. The Abyssal Terrors DLC amps up the challenge by introducing even more foes, all terrifyingly reimagined from the deep sea. Prepare to face nightmarish versions of anglerfish, goblin sharks, and colossal squid as you delve into its disturbed aquatic depths.

This expansion isn’t just about new enemies; it also delivers 16 fresh weapons, all with a distinct deep-sea flair. Imagine wielding a blunderbuss, a mighty trident, or a powerful harpoon gun! Furthermore, new characters—each a quirky ‘tato variant with unique traits—join the roster, including the Buccaneer, the Romantic, and the Gangster, adding even more ways to play.
Boasting an impressive 96% user score on Steam, Brotato stands out as one of the most highly acclaimed roguelikes available. Though initial runs might feel quick, the game offers tremendous replayability. You’ll easily sink dozens of hours into mastering higher difficulties and experimenting with the diverse cast of unlockable characters.
