Brotato:Premium 12+

As somebody who has put dozens of hours into the Steam version, seeing this on iOS was an instant buy. It’s definitely a 5* game, but I wish the UI was more like the the PC version, especially when playing this on iPad, it seems like there’s a lot less information available on the upgrade screen that could easily fit on an iPad screen, but isn’t included.

Additionally, the game only has partial controller support, which isn’t a dealbreaker, but it is annoying to have to switch between the two.

Still highly recommended for the price, keep it up, devs!

The game plays a little different from the PC with tweaked speed settings etc. I don’t mind 99.9% of this at all and find it to be appropriate. However, there is one difference which I have to imagine is simply a game breaking bug where elites on difficulty 5 are essentially impossible to get past. They attack more frequently and with less delay between the hit box showing up and actually dealing their damage, and the attacks will one or two shot you, where you usually have about 4-8 hits with a typical build on the PC (as well as the ability to kill the elites - on the mobile port it seems they have at least double the health pool so racing their damage is also not feasible). This renders almost every single run on difficulty 5 a guaranteed defeat on the first elite you encounter, regardless of character or item quality. You can Google this known issue by searching for something like “Brotato Elites Difficulty Mobile Bug”. If they fix this one issue the app would deserve five stars, but I would say in its current state it’s not even worth purchasing as you will end up progressing very quickly to a point where difficulty 4 is not challenging and 5 is impossible. I hope anyone reading this chooses to wait until they release a bug fix for this before buying - I already put the money in for the premium version and consider it a waste of money until they do fix this.

I played the free version, was up to the mage, then a friend suggested the premium. I highly regret it. It’s been 20 losses with the very first character on the easiest setting. The easiest setting shouldn’t take 20 or more tries to complete, especially since I beat it before in the free version, the first time through. This paid version is way harder than the free version and it honestly is too hard and unrewarding. I’ve gotten nothing for my 20 attempts. Not a single thing. At least in the free version you get stuff when you die.

I play difficult games. I like them. But this isn’t one of them. This is simply a terribly balanced one stick shooter. At what point am I to be rewarded for my efforts? At what point are you going to lower the difficulty on the easiest setting? How am I supposed to unlock stuff when level 11 is unbeatable and even if I beat it the boss is unkillable but that’s not the hard part. The hard part is getting hit by random things when your screen is full of enemies. That’s fine, btw. But not on the easiest setting. The easiest setting- 0 - should allow players to easily progress and unlock various things so that they can play the harder difficulty levels. We are unable to do that here. Here, level 0 means nothing, as you continually try to beat it you get nothing for the losses.
