"Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?! has a cutesy art style and offbeat premise going for it. That's plenty. I'm am down." - Destructoid

Игра супер, играю на пиратке.

@Hokuten IF this looks like a ripoff to Swords and Potions

Then Swords and Potions would be a rip-off of Recettear.

Recettear is almost guaranteed to be MUCH MUCH older than both this and Swords and Potions "2" (and 1, since there is a 2 there).

The Carpe Fulgar Westernized/translated version on steam, Is probably even older than Swords and potions, on it's own.

Recettear: An Item shop's tale, and Weapon Shop de Omasse are both billboarded as inspirations already as well, So clearly, they should be what the creators/devs were looking at and taking notes and/or aspects from when moldings their mechanics.
