Three characters. Three philosophies. One question: how much are you willing to risk?
A content mod adding The Flagellant, The Vessel, and The Gambler — three fully realized characters with dedicated
item pools, unique weapons, weapon sets, and custom mechanics that fundamentally change how you play Brotato.
72 items | 13 weapons (4 tiers each) | 3 weapon sets | 13 languages
"The house always wins. Unless you are the house."
Kills drop Casino Coins — a second currency that opens the door to the Casino Shop, a parallel economy where every
purchase is a gamble.
Between waves, spend your coins on offers — powerful bonuses paired with nasty maluses. Better odds cost more.
The Gambler doesn’t just play the game — the Gambler plays the meta-game. Every wave is a new hand, and knowing when to hold,
fold, or go all-in is the real skill.
4 House Edge weapons with damage that’s never the same twice. The House Edge set rewards stacking the odds in your favor
— but the house always takes its cut.
"Pain is the currency of power. Every wound a transaction, every scar a trophy."
Hurt yourself to get stronger. The Flagellant stacks self-damage sources — the more items that hurt you, the more devastating
your bonuses become. Reach a critical mass and enter Ecstasy, a heightened state of dodge and crit.
Self-damage can never kill you. Your HP can’t drop below 1 from your own effects. Go absolutely wild.
Build cheap and wide with many small sources, or go deep with fewer expensive ones — both paths lead to power, but the tradeoffs are
real.
5 Thorny weapons that turn your suffering into everyone else’s problem. Equip the Thorny set for escalating bonuses —
the more thorns, the deeper they dig.
"A hollow shell seeking to be filled. What it lacks in vitality, it makes up in capacity."
Heal beyond your max HP and the excess becomes Overshield — a decaying barrier that fuels your damage. The fuller the vessel,
the harder you strike.
Only active combat healing builds your shield. Life Steal, on-kill heals, abilities — you have to earn every point. Passive HP
regen does nothing for you.
Once per wave, fatal damage consumes your Overshield instead of killing you. Keep it topped off and death becomes optional.
4 Sanguine weapons built around blood-fueled combat. The Sanguine set rewards committing to the playstyle.
Each character has their own exclusive item pool. Flagellant items only appear for the Flagellant, Vessel items for the Vessel,
Gambler items for the Gambler. Base game items remain available to all three.
