Games like Brotato
Updated for Brotato 1.2.0.1 · checked 2026-11-05

For more auto-attacking horde survival, start with Vampire Survivors, Halls of Torment, Soulstone Survivors, or Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. For active aiming, try 20 Minutes Till Dawn. Boneraiser Minions replaces your weapons with an army of minions.
The later rows widen the comparison: Risk of Rain 2 and Gunfire Reborn add 3D shooting, while Hades and Enter the Gungeon use room-based encounters. Balatro shares the pleasure of combining upgrades but uses cards rather than action combat.
