A spaceship from Potato World crashes onto an alien planet. The sole survivor: Brotato, the only potato capable of handling 6 weapons at the same time. Waiting to be rescued by his mates, Brotato must survive in this hostile environment.
Choose from a variety of traits and items to create unique builds and survive until help arrives.
Evil Empire, the developer of Rogue Prince of Persia and Dead Cells DLCs, has revealed that they have taken over development of Brotato, under the watchful eyes of original developer Blobfish Games who will now fully focus on making brand-new games.
To mark the occasion, the Evil Empire team released a taste of what new and old bros can expect when Brotato gets its first full update next month - a new mob, The Gobbler.
Evil Empire is best known for its unnervingly long, strong and steady hand bringing years of content to fans for the GOTY hit Dead Cells from Motion Twin, culminating in the Return to Castlevania DLC. The Evil Empire team, founded by ex-Motion Twin developers, was originally created for this specific type of game development work - to support and work with energized, enthusiastic communities of games to bring fresh and inspired content to the games we all love.
Thomas Gervraud, Blobfish CEO and founder, said, “I'm excited to see how the game evolves under the direction of such a talented team and what fresh perspectives they'll bring to the table. Above all, though, I’m just eager to dive back in and have fun playing Brotato again.”
Evil Empire is joining in to keep baking Brotato, adding the ever-necessary topping of fire updates packed with new content and even more roguelike goodness. Experienced shepherds of roguelikes that they are, Evil Empire’s additions to Brotato won’t be thrown on willy-nilly (much like tuna on a baked potato, because who even does that).
