Last year in July, potato lovers worldwide rejoiced when Daylight Studios and Rising Star Games released Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?! on the Switch eShop. In this wacky potato-themed game, you had to grow a weapon shop while expanding your business across the universe.
Now, the second entry in the trilogy series will arrive on the Switch eShop next week - in both North America and Europe - on 17th January for $14.99/€14.99/£12.99. If you missed the initial announcement in March 2018, this is a game where you must manage your very own spaceship while exploring the universe. Here are some of the features in the title, direct from the PR:
- Micro-manage your crew and craft weapons to create the greatest spaceship ever seen.
- Fight enemy ships in turn-based combat - will you show mercy or blast them to tater tots?
- Explore the universe to complete missions and uncover an ever-changing storyline.
- Want stress-free pew-pew action? Try Casual mode and take the pressure off!
- A charming, vegetabulous soundtrack of over 150 tracks by the talented Jeff “Pumodi” Brice will keep you entertained while blasting your foes to bits!
Take a look at the amusing trailer below:
The third and final game Holy Potatoes! What the Hell?! will follow this release.

Trailer looks interesting, missed the 1st game in the series. I do like these types of games so may check it out
I spy a non original audio track. That background music track in the trailer at 1:13 sounds extremley similar to the one played on the nintendo 64 game Jetforce Gemini...>_>...just sped up a little. theyre pullin for nastolgia here i see hopeing to gain a quick buck...even though it does look kinda fun.

Looks like a cheaply made parody game playing off of lazy parody humor.
Shame, because I like the idea, building a space ship and crew and micro-managing it along a variety of missions in a Star Wars-like setting. But not like this.
I love comedy in games, but I rarely, if ever, like games where humor is a core focus. You're not gonna be able to keep me laughing at the same humor for an entire game. It just wont happen.
Looks like a half baked FTL
