Whatever you want to call the genre that Vampire Survivors popularized, Brotato is one of the best of them. The concept is inherently stupid, and they lean all the way into it. It’s also only $5.

I enjoyed them all, but Asylum was my favorite by far. It struck a perfect balance between being a tight, contained experience, while giving you a great set of tools to deal with things as you saw fit. It was claustrophobic in a great way, and you felt like an apex predator when you figured out how to work within the constraints.

The rest of them feel excessive in comparison, both being too open and giving you too many tools to work with. I never felt like I could get into a “flow state” with them like I could with Asylum.

I’ll probably try it eventually, but I don’t have high hopes since Edmund isn’t involved. SMBF was awful, and this looks like a similar mess.

I do the opposite of taking care of mine, and they’re still going strong after 20ish years. Corcoran boots are damn near indestructible. They’ve only been semi-retired because I’ve moved other boots that are nearly as tough, but much more comfortable. Specifically Red Wings for normal wear, and Ariat cowboy boots for actual work.
