Both are great games. I saw someone recommend Deep Rock Galactic Survivors as a followup to Brotato, and I would like to second that recommendation.
Some of my favorite games that are somewhat similar to Slay the Spire are Slice & Dice, Dicey Dungeons, and Card Quest. All of them also have phone versions.
Slice & Dice is amazing, I've been playing it for literal years. The mix of risk taking with the dice rolling and being able to combine different characters and items to break the game is incredibly satisfying.
Dicey Dungeons is by the same guy who made VVVVV and Super Hexagon. It's another Dice based crawler, much simpler in mechanics than Slice & Dice but still super fun with really catchy music. It's a testament to how good Slice and Dice is that this isn't the best Dice game available.
Card Quest has the lowest art/etc budget of all the games listed, but makes up for it with really smart game play. At first it seems absolutely brutal, but it's that you're not being smart enough with your moves. Unlike other deck builders, you're expected to figure out how to chain your cards to take zero damage every turn. But the interplay of balancing multiple resources, card draws, and more. It's the kind of game where every single action you take feels like a miniature puzzle to be solved. I actually played this before Slay the Spire, and it made StS turns feel really low option/low complexity in comparison.
Ooh. Thanks for the suggestions. Not sure about Deep Rock (multiplayer eh? Can't pause mid game, right?) but the Slice & Dice and Dicey Dungeons sound like something I'd be interested. Much appreciated.
DRG Survivors is a "Survivor like", just like Brotato. It's a spin off game of the Deep Rock Galactic game, and is a fully offline and solo-player experience.
Main difference between it and other games in the genre is that there's cave walls you can dig through. The enemies in the game generally feel stronger than they do in most other games like it, so you have to plan escape routes and kite properly to survive.
I haven't played DRG: Survivors, but I can attest that regular DRG can pause when playing solo (and it does a good job balancing for solo play). I would guess that solo play in DRG: Survivors likely has the same "solo pause" feature.
