You can play the game with one hand and hold beer in the other.
Brotato is an awesome game. It is one of the better roguelike bullet hell shooter games out there. It has a lot of unique different characters and some cool combinations to get. It gives me the same addictive rush as when I play Vampire Survivor. If you like roguelike bullet hell shooter games, Brotato is a must play! It plays perfectly on the Steam Deck.
I bought a potato game. Somehow, it became a full-time job with no salary, no benefits, and increasingly hostile working conditions. 717 hours later, I've learned that: RNG is not random. It has a personal vendetta against me. The shop knows exactly what I need and will never offer it. “One last run” is a legally binding lie. Nightmare difficulty is less of a game mode and more of a personality disorder. I've unlocked 175 out of 179 achievements. The remaining four are apparently guarded by ancient gods who feed on my sanity. And the worst part? I'd still recommend this game. It's ridiculously addictive, surprisingly deep, and somehow makes getting murdered by a potato-shaped creature feel like a personal failure. 10/10. Would lose another 717 hours.
