Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?!
A hero isn’t a hero at all without the right weapon… or a shop to buy one from! Become the man (sorry, potato) behind the heroes, forging amazing weapons and selling them on for tasty profits in Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?!, a hilarious mash-up of management and simulation.
As a true chip off the old spud, take charge of your dad’s weapon shop and turn it into the place to be for hard-boiled adventurers. Employ eager smiths to craft hundreds of weapons, then sell them to any heroic spud you like. Peel off the profits to buy more materials, find relics and enchantments on your travels, train up your smiths and then do it all over again! The better your weapons, the better your reputation becomes… keep it up and soon enough, you’ll have a shop that really creams the competition!
Includes the bonus adventure – Spud Tales: Journey To Olympus – completely free, no hassle(back)!

A Weapon Shop?! is a super fun kind of Tycoon where you craft weapons for... potatoes, and gradually get better and better with every planet.

Solid shop management game. You take over your grandfather's old smithy and wind up making weapons for local heroes (and brigands). The goal is to get as much fame and notoriety as possible while also figuring out how to run the shop. Other heroes, legendary heroes, have special tasks your smiths must complete to progress the overarching story (what happened to grandpa). You also have to manage your smiths and make sure they don't get so tired and mad that they lave... by making sure to send them on vacation.
Everything comes out of the money you make in the store. Figuring out when to hire and how many people to hire is part of the game. It's a solid simulator. Very addicting early on once things gear up and get going. Later on, things do lag because the plot wraps up. I will say... the potato puns and the memes of all the heroes got tiring fast, especially when they interrupted the groove of making/selling weapons. This goes for the Golden Hammer awards, too.

Cute little shop tycoon, but the music is annoying after like 20 min.

The game is extremely grindy and repetitive. If you have nothing to do and you would prefer to spend a few hours without using your brain - this game is good enough. I would say it's around 6/10.
Btw, achievements are SUPER EXTREMLY ANNOYINGLY,,, grindy. It will take you hours to finish "craft 50 " achievements even after you have done everything this game has to offer. So yeah, if you have anything interesting going on in your life - you'd be better off just completing the game to a certain extent and giving up 100%. (i got 100%...)
If you still want to go for 100%, remember, MAX OUT HEROES BEFORE YOU MOVE TO THE NEXT LOCATION.
Oh also, dlc... If it's on sale and almost free in a bundle you can take it, but the dlc is 3/10 at most.

It's a pretty good game, definitely get it on sale (I got it for $0.99)! Decently fun gameplay loop, but it starts to get stale in area/world 3 or 4. Definitely buggy, but nothing game-breaking.

This is my go to game when I can't sleep and just want to do fun lighthearted tasks to shut my brain off. Thank you for such a cute relaxing little game. I love keeping my little spuddies happy and training them to do really good and clocking the references!

Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?! is a charming little time-waster with genuinely funny potato-fied pop culture references — spotting the spud versions of Tony Stark, Gandalf, and Lara Croft got a real laugh out of me. The art style is cute and the management loop is smooth enough that I lost track of time more than once just cycling through weapon crafting and selling runs. That said, the core gameplay is pretty shallow: you're essentially doing the same thing over and over across each region, and once you've figured out the systems there's almost no challenge or meaningful decision-making left. It's the kind of game that works best in short sessions alongside something else, like a podcast, rather than as your main focus. If you can grab it on sale, it's worth a playthrough for the humor alone — just don't expect the depth of something like Recettear.
