Shared: Wave Survival

Forty-five-plus potato characters, six weapon slots, and a shop that fires every 20 waves: Brotato distills the horde-survivor loop down to its most potent form and dares you to put it down.

Shared: hack-and-slash

Proof that dying can be the best part of a story: Hades turns every failed escape attempt into a character beat, and the combat is sharp enough that you will want to fail a few more times just to try the shield next run.
