New Roguelike Game on Steam Is Like Brotato Meets Doom and Diablo

[RW YuukiKING]

 

A new roguelike bullet heaven game on Steam, called Arms of God, blends Brotato's progression system with a Doom- and Diablo-inspired universe, and it already has Very Positive reviews. Brotato is an autoshooter with cartoony visuals and a lighthearted and comical tone. Arms of God, meanwhile, takes Brotato's gameplay formula, strips away the art style, and places it in a dark, gothic setting.

 

Arms of God is another solo developer success story on Steam. Dominik Sójka spent the past four years working on the game alone, though its recent success prompted him to bring two more developers onto the project. Together, the three-person team behind Arms of God now operates as Dark Jay Studio, and its debut title is already gaining traction on Steam among fans of the bullet heaven genre. 

 

Released in early access on Steam on June 8, 2026, Arms of God has accumulated nearly 1,000 user reviews as of this writing, with an overall rating of Very Positive. Dark Jay Studio describes the game as a fresh take on Brotato, but with "actual lore, giant gothic cathedral, and demons," starring a futuristic Templar wielding a holy superweapon.

 

 

Arms of God's Steam page sheds light on the inspiration behind its world-building, describing the game as a "roguelite bullet heaven arena autoshooter with Doom-esque gore vibes, metal music, and a satisfying combat feel." The character designs also appear to draw heavily from id Software's iconic shooter series. At the same time, the isometric camera perspective and flashy combat effects across hellish environments are likely to remind many players of the Diablo franchise.

 

The game's lore also leans into religious themes, adding another similarity between Arms of God and Blizzard's long-running action RPG series. In Brotato, players experience a bullet heaven gameplay loop split into a series of short stages. Each run feels like a collection of quick sessions, where the goal is to survive enemy waves, eliminate as many foes as possible, and gather XP. Arms of God follows a similar formula. The game features 60 handcrafted levels, each with its own enemies, bosses, and objectives. Arms of God also features a supporter pack on Steam for around $13 USD. While the pack does not include any gameplay-affecting bonuses, it offers basic character customization options. The developer also plans to expand the bundle with additional content in future updates.
