Spuds Unearthed is an experimental combination of an action game and a real-time strategy. The game is distinguished by a polished setting, humor and a unique idea for the gameplay.
Have you ever made a pump flamethrower, commanded the army of potatoes, and conquered the planets in VR? If your answer is no, it’s time to change this!
Jump into Spud’s Universe where mayhem is never-ending! Use your strategic thinking to conquer planets, specialize your crew by assigning them different classes, create frontline by sending vehicles and robots, produce bizarre turrets with cranks, springs, and everything you can imagine!
While Spuds Unearthed isn't the worst VR experience out there, it is certainly one to avoid.
There's a core gameplay loop that could have some substance, but it's surrounded by a confused interface, a simply awful tutorial, with surface-level complexity that needn't exist.
Spuds Unearthed ultimately fails in all respects.
It surely offers quirky and fun gameplay but Spuds Unearthed is held back by its simple structure that doesn't really go the extra mile.
Spuds Unleashed was not a bad game, in fact, I grew to somewhat enjoy it. I just feel it took too long to get to grips with the controls and the aiming was sometimes too inaccurate to be enjoyable. If you persevere you can get over this issue, I just feel most people will be put off well before then.
