So I just started playing Brotato, the cousin (or should I say brother?^^) of Vampire Survivors, as if I didn't have a backlog enough. I avoided these games until now, for whatever reason my curiosity picked up. But now I can see the appeal to it. Well for one price was not the actual issue. You can get them for 5 Dollars / Euros, or 3 on a sale.

Why would I chose to play Brotato instead the more famous (and vampires are cooler) Vampire Survivors? After researching and reading opinions about both games, I came to a conclusion that Brotato might be better on the gameplay side, with more depth in it through meaningful different characters and items. And Vampire Survivors is also focused on collectables, which I'm not such a big fan of, but for many that is a plus. I also like the idea of Brotato releasing enemies in waves and then in between one can purchase stuff with money in a shop. I will probably end up playing the other game too... and then there is Mega Bonk, which I also ignored until now.

Deep Rock Galactic Survivor is my personal favorite in the genre, so one more for your backlog.

It's actually not a bad "problem" to have. ;-) Thanks, looks also good its wishlisted now.

Holocure would be my recommendation for the free tier of the Survivor genre. However, last I heard it has performance issues when there's lots of enemies on screen...

I've seen this game too, but forgot about it, as I'm not really into VTuber stuff. But decoupling it from this, looking at the game itself, I might try it out. I mean i'm into the genre now, so its only a matter of time. :p Thanks for the suggestion.
