Brotato

Brotato is a roguelite arena shooter from the indie developer Blobfish, and Steam files it under action, casual, indie, and role-playing. You play as a potato whose spaceship crashed on an alien planet. Brotato is the only survivor, and he is the only potato able to carry six weapons at once. Your job is to hold out until rescue arrives, so every run becomes a fight to survive the next wave.

The core loop is easy to pick up. Weapons fire automatically, so your attention goes to positioning and manual aiming. Each enemy wave lasts roughly 20 to 90 seconds, and you try to kill as many enemies as you can while staying alive. Between waves you collect materials that give experience and spend them in a shop on new items. Runs are fast, with each one lasting under 30 minutes, which makes it easy to fit a session into a short evening.

What stands out most is the build variety. The store page describes a large roster of characters, each suited to a different playstyle such as one-handed fighting, all-out attacks, lucky builds, or mage-style play. Hundreds of items and weapons are on offer, including flamethrowers, submachine guns, rocket launchers, staves, and rocks, so no two runs need to look the same.

Difficulty is flexible too. Accessibility options let you adjust enemy health, damage, and speed until the challenge feels right for you, and local co-op supports up to four players.

Brotato holds an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam, which is the 壓倒性好評 label on the Taiwan store. About 95% of its reviews are positive, and the total volume is in the hundreds of thousands of reviews.

A high positive percentage across a review count this large generally means a broad group of players has been consistently satisfied, which is a stronger signal than the same percentage from a few hundred reviews. Smaller titles can swing sharply, so the bigger the sample, the more you can trust the overall mood. Check the reviews section on the store page for the latest breakdown.

All prices here are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. Brotato is currently NT$ 51, which is 50% off its regular price of NT$ 102.

Our price record is still short, so this verdict is tentative. The current NT$ 51 is the lowest paid price we have recorded so far, and it is also our latest price. The game has been discounted often in our record, with the deepest discount logged at 50%. We have not recorded any free-to-keep offers for it.

Whether now is a good time depends on your budget. Half price on a title with this kind of reception looks like a reasonable entry point, but because our record is still limited, waiting a little longer to see how the price moves may be worthwhile if you are not in a hurry.
