Brotato: Primal Dread (2026)
I do need to say only PC gaming services has this paid DLC right now. But they are planning to release it for console versions next year. There's a lot of new content added making it essentially a truly unique experience. We're talking it actually felt like a different game!!! I won't cover everything in detail otherwise this would've been quite a lengthy blog entry.
There's a new third map being the Jungle map. You are facing off against dinosaurs with a few twists thrown in. A lot of characters can collect stuff for either mutated or mecha dinosaurs. Yes both notably impacts the overall game play in so many ways. Now when you get to Shop, you'll see two new bars on the right.
Which are colored differently representing evolutions your enemies could undergo during waves. A rather cool thing on the mecha side is you also collect microchips. Which can be used to gain additional abilities to your weapons outside regular currency. The higher either evolution meter is, the more tanky the enemies will become.
Mutation are notably greenish while mecha being more purple. Obviously mutation is much uglier to look at. Mecha ends up being very awesome designs. Who cares if they felt like they couldn't decide which evolution to go for? I'm personally glad they took extra time to go for both of them. Some waves could have holes you have to move around.
Thankfully you don't have to worry falling down holes coughs Atari E.T.!!! There's ten more characters added making it seventy four of them. Yeah ten more than GoldenEye on Nintendo 64!!! They added a lot of newer stuff you could get from Shop. They also added twenty one newer achievements. I'm glad I didn't have to do extra runs with these newer characters.
No it doesn't matter which map you complete runs on with them. Some of these newer achievements work best on the new map. This really felt like an evolution of the game play. Just when I was already blown away by Abyssal Terrors DLC. Damn this one really took things to an entirely new level. I didn't even knew existed prior it's that great!!!
I won't describe how every newer character impacts the game play. But I will describe a few that ended up being their own unique experiences. Caveman's waves will kept getting darker. Yes to the point you can't see anything!!! But you will figure out turrets and pets will help a little bit. Turrets stay in a spot during waves while having a small portion of it's location lid up.
Pets ends up being a little better since they can move around the maps. But you don't control their actions meaning you got to stay close with them or get loss in the darkness. Survivor doesn't get weapons from Shop like most characters. Instead you get em from getting loot crates. Which only can be opened following a wave.
Basically up to you get an weapon for every weapon slot. You have to decide on the spot if you want em or not? Of course I gotta mention the one character some people expect me to talk about. Veteran is a full blown parody of John Rambo!!! Yes a character based on Rambo in the actual game. Yes he even has the iconic Rambo hair.
Veteran is basically the fewer your health during waves. He gains more increased damage towards the enemies. He also doesn't regain health between waves. Yes I went out of my way to get six M60s for him during my 1st run with the character. Can you imagine if Rambo had six of those? Well in a way you get to live that reality in Brotato.
Considering how cheap this DLC is? I didn't expect they went this big with the concept. Somehow they made dinosaurs fun in a video game. Honestly, this added so much depth I am not even sure. If they could add anymore to the game? These potatoes faced insects then sea creatures now dinosaurs!!! They literately gave evolution the finger!!!
There's no question among the best DLC free or paid I played this year by far. You really do get your money's worth with this!!! Especially if you love dinosaurs I recommend buying the actual game. Then buy this DLC it's truly fantastic work!!! I really can't criticize it because they absolutely knock this out the park!!!
