Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?!

A very average gaming experience full of repetitive gameplay and weak humor that tries too hard to be funny. The game also has some serious bugs. For example, after completing the final quest, the ending story trigger simply did not happen. Instead of an ending or cinematic, nothing happened at all, most likely because two game events triggered at the same time. Overall, a disappointing and forgettable experience.

A chill and fun shop keep sim.

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.
