It is a phenomenon that usually occurs in the same way almost always, with a kind of pattern where a small signal on the horizon ends up becoming a giant wave that all developers want to ride. The problem is that many of them fail to hit the key while a few do. And it serves to boost them from that moment within the industry thanks to names like Brotato .
Rogelite with many shades
Brotato is the story of a success that is anticipated by the presence on Steam of a certain Vampire Survivors , a game so elementary that it hurts to tell its development in just one line: we control a hero who, located in the center of the screen, must Eliminate all the enemies that try to surround you while you level up, get items and extras that add greater attack and defense capacity.
Well, we left out the most important thing, and that is that our protagonist cannot shoot when we want, but when he has to. In other words, there will not be a button to open fire, but we will have to move around the screen calculating the moment in which the weapon will activate itself and, thus, cause the greatest possible damage to the hosts of savages that are about to finish off U.S.
So, if it has already been invented, why has Brotato succeeded? Well, here comes what we told you before: what is a simple isolated success of a game like Vampire Survivors ends up becoming a fever and a need for players, who continue to look for similar alternatives to keep themselves entertained, so they put its sights on other developments that meet these same premises.
the pissed off potato
So in this way, Brotato has taken the essence of that idea that has been fashionable for a few months on Steam and has made it his own with a richer and more casual graphic aspect, to tell us (briefly) the story of this pissed off potato that we can customize the arsenal that is displayed during the game. We’ll start out pretty skinny and fluffy but as we make our way, combinations will be our main asset to win.
All its main mechanics revolve around the weapons that we get with each new item, or level up that we star in, which gives Brotato more power while the enemies appear in greater numbers, size and voracity. It is, yes, a game of short games, of progressing with the character with each new event that we start and, of course, it will not take 300 hours to have to reach a point where we feel completely satiated with his mechanics and entertainment mode.
You should know that the game is in the Early Access phase, that is, although it is fully playable, its developers are still putting the finishing touches before it is a final and official release. Even so, you have it for a really cheap price, such as 4.99 euros, and you will have access to all the content that is added as Blobfish develops it. Try it… it deserves the potato.
