After Brotato addiction I found this gem of a game, right before the sequel announcement it seems. It’s such a perfect game for the Deck at least for me - you have time to think, the controls just work and you can just put the game down and continue your run later.

Do yourself a favor and try it out even though your first runs will probably be a disaster. The core game mechanic is so tight and well done it’s a pleasure to play loop after loop. 50 hours later I still want to do ‘one more run’.

    I completely agree!

    Once you’re done with slay the spire, you can start the cycle again and play Vampire Survivors and Balatro 😁

      I started Brotato after some serious Vampire Survivors. I want to know what the heck is the genre of Brotato and VS and find more games like them.

      Heard only positive about Balatro. I need to keep my addiction to one game at the time hehe. You know any (roguelitish?) games that are off the radar or more obscure? They seem to be my jam.

        I’ve heard them referred to as “survivor-likes” (I believe Magic Survival was the first) or “bullet heaven” (you are the one creating the bullet hell)

          I like the term “single stick shooter”

        Check out Bounty of One and Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. Those are two of my favorites.

          You’re the second person suggesting Deep Rock. Now I’m guessing that there are two games: one multiplayer, one not with similar names. I guess I have to research on them. Thanks mate!

            Yes, there’s Deep Rock Galactic which is a cooperative mining/bug killing game, and Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor which is a single-player bullet heaven. Both are great, though if I had to choose I would go with the coop game (which can also be played solo).
