Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?! is a game about making weapons to sell to heroes—famous geek icons even drop by occasionally to have a special weapon made. There’s a lot more to it than simply making the weapons—you send out your own people to conduct the sales, gather materials and train in their fields. Your potato peeps gain levels, not just in weapon-making, but also in things like selling and exploring, getting you better bonuses in those areas. Having a high-level merchant means extra money on sales, and high-level explorers bring back more. The heroes you’re selling to are a picky breed, each wanting certain weapons with certain attributes—making the perfect weapon for each hero is key to making bank. You have a boost and enchantments at your disposal to help make that weapon just right. Aside from making weapons, there’s a few other things you can do. You can send ouscouts to find enchantments and relics, which you can then research back at the shop to make cooler new weapons and even discover new weapon types. Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?! is full of badass weapons and more layers than your typical sim game. –Ashley Lippert
