    Game was fun at first.
    I liked the upgrading ship, crafting weapons, hire crew members stuff and the fights as well.
    Also i liked the characters and the sense of humor. But after a few warp-gates i noticed that the game is not challenging at all when you always use all your "sols" to explore as much planets as possible before using the next warp-gate. I was completely overpowered and    Game was fun at first.

    I was completely overpowered and not a single fight gave me a hard time anymore, even the boss fights were much too easy.
    Why is there no difficulty setting?
    The standart difficulty feels very easy for me.
    The overpowered fights bored me and i only kept playing because i wanted to know the end of the story.    … Expand

    A comical roguelike that borrows elements of style and procedural generation from the company's previous game, this new game gives hours of entertainment through simple but effective mechanisms. My only complaint is that there's somewhat limited replay value for this, as once you've beat it a few times there are not a lot of different paths through the game to explore.

    Bought it at 9pm, when I stopped playing to go to bed it was 7am and I didn't get to sleep. 9/10.

    Space themed turnbased roguelike that's very lighthearted and very addicting

    This game is a spaceship themed roguelike with a somewhat linear progression and direction.

    This is one of those games that begs a look at a 'lets play' youtube video before deciding if is your style of game and I encourage anyone to do so.

    I found this game appealing enough to take up an evening but not the sort of game I could really get into.    … Expand

    The space cowboy game with vegetables in the leading role effectively combines narration, humor and gameplay and presents an unusually dense portion of entertainment.

    I didn’t expect much. So maybe that is why I was taken by surprise with the challenging battles. Your freedom is limited, but within its borders these potatoes embark on an interesting space adventure.

    Holy Potatoes! We’re in Space?! Is a very cute game that balances turn based strategy with lots of fun humour, pop culture references, and witty puns. At times if you spend all your money and resources early on it can becoming frustrating and repetitive to build them back up (especially when you face the challenging ‘boss’ levels) but I definitely enjoyed the quirkiness of the storyline. It really is what made this game great fun!
