Elden Ring might challenge you with its difficulty, and a heated match of Counter-Strike 2 can certainly spike your adrenaline. However, if you’re craving the ultimate in intense gaming on PC, look no further than roguelikes. Over the past few years, titles like Dead Cells, Cult of the Lamb, and Hades have really elevated the genre. Yet, there’s a newcomer vying for the crown, and it’s completely free to play. Despite its fun visuals and unusual premise, Brotato has garnered an impressive 96% rating on Steam, positioning it as one of the most gripping, edge-of-your-seat roguelike shooters out there.
In Potato World, disaster has struck. An exploratory spaceship has crash-landed on an alien planet, with only Brotato, our bandana-sporting hero, making it out alive. Surrounded by waves of feral animals, bizarre creatures, and mutants, thankfully this spud can handle six guns at once. Prepare yourself for a fast-paced, exhilarating roguelike shooter where each run lasts around 30 minutes, transforming the screen into a whirlwind of gunfire and foes.
Your arsenal includes hundreds of weapons, and survival depends on overcoming successive enemy waves. With autofire guns, your strategy isn’t about shooting but rather maneuvering Brotato’s multiple arms in a wild dance to dodge incoming dangers. After each wave, hit the shop to upgrade your gear and gain new skills. Plus, you can join forces with up to three other ‘taters in co-op mode, and customize difficulty by tweaking enemy health, speed, and damage.
Among the 81,000 reviews on Steam for Brotato, a staggering 96% are glowing, earning it the prestigious ‘overwhelmingly positive’ rating. If you haven’t dived into this game yet, it’s available as a free download on PC for a limited time.
