Potatoes may be delicious, but don’t even think about chowing down on Brotato’s chippy heroes. In this top-down shooter, arm your tater commando with six auto-firing weapons – from crossbows to rocket launchers – as you battle 20 waves of increasingly nasty aliens. Between rounds, enhance different body parts and bust out new gear. Plasma sledgehammer or pair of scissors? Your call, bro.

What we love: Mixing and matching! With more than three dozen Brotatoes to unlock – like the pistol-packing Ranger and the healing-focused Doctor – there are tons of tactics to try. Load up the Wildling with hatchets and spears, snag the jetpack and cape to boost his dodging skill and run headlong into the hordes. It just might work!

Quick tip: Don’t buy weapons willy-nilly between rounds. Your ultimate goal should be to gather six that suit your play style, then upgrade them to rare (purple) or legendary (red) status. Keep an eye out for duplicates and merge them to form more powerful versions of whatever you’re packing.

Meet the creator: Swiss indie developer Thomas Gervraud (aka Blobfish) seems to have something of a potato fixation: He also made games about potato gladiators and potatoes that lure their enemies into traps. Singapore-based publisher Erabit Studios has introduced players to games like Indies’ Lies and 20 Minutes Till Dawn.
