Steam reviews

What players say

Most players recommend this Brotato-style roguelite for its varied characters and cheap price, but many say it is a close copy that is less balanced and polished than the original.

Many players enjoy the premise of playing as the final boss who fends off waves of attacking heroes, along with the large roster of about 45 characters, the variety of weapons and the upbeat soundtrack. Quick, replayable runs and a low price also win praise, and some note that the game suits couch co-op. Most complaints concern how closely it resembles Brotato, with its interface, stat system and shop nearly identical; many players feel it is less balanced, with many weak items and shop rerolls eating most of the money. Some players report bugs and crashes, and a few note that the game stopped receiving updates. Reviews from the last year are more critical than the older helpful ones, mainly over undisclosed AI-generated art and the developer's communication, though some recent players still find the game fun.

Praised

  • Varied characters

    Players enjoy the large roster of characters, each with different stats, perks and drawbacks that change how a run plays.

    Many players
  • Playing as the boss

    The premise of being the final boss defending against heroes, with their dialogue and kickable balls, gives the game its humour and fresh identity.

    Many players
  • Replayability and unlocks

    Players like the steady stream of unlocks across difficulty levels, which keeps them starting new runs with new builds.

    Many players
  • Low price and easy to pick up

    Players call it cheap and good value on sale, and easy to play in short sessions without much thought.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Too close to Brotato

    Players say the interface, stat screens and mechanics copy Brotato so closely that the game feels like a reskin rather than its own game.

    Many players
  • Unbalanced items and stats

    Players find many items weak or redundant, with stat upgrades that cancel each other out and item balance that feels random.

    Some players
  • Shop rerolls and repetition

    Players say they spend most of their money rerolling a shop with little worth buying, and runs and bosses become repetitive over time.

    Some players
  • Bugs and abandoned development

    Players report crashes, a broken shop and game-launch problems, and say the developer has not fixed them or updated the game in a while.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who already know Brotato and want a similar roguelite with a different theme and a low price.
Who should skip it
Players who want a clearly original game or a well-balanced item system, as many say Brotato does this better.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with over 40 hours more often find the bosses and unlocks repetitive and the balance weaker, while newer players mostly praise the variety and humour.
