With a steady stream of summoned mushroom warriors and crafted elemental golems by your side, rally your forces to victory and discover the fate of the world beyond your grove. Command your army in a cycle of strategy and action. Take time to place rally markers on the battlefield and create golems, then watch the battle unfold until your next chance to adapt. Rinse and repeat. Adjust your army’s movements, tweak its composition, and outsmart your enemies.Your mushroom troops can’t do it alone! Deploy over 50 distinct Golems to turn the tide of battle. Each Golem is forged by combining seven elemental types, resulting in unique strengths, weaknesses, and special attacks. To defeat the corruption, you'll need to experiment with different combinations and craft the perfect Golem for every situation.Harness over 100 unique Blessings, powerful traits that enhance your abilities and strengthen your troops. If enemy forces overwhelm you, retreat to your grove and regroup, but not all is lost! Carry forward the knowledge and power gained from previous runs, rally your allies, explore the world, and take the fight to the corruption once and for all.

It's... fine. But it is short and shallow and the challenges come more from artificial difficulty and pathing than genuinely making you come up with different ways to approach the game. And it has just one short sequence with a boss at the end. That's it. I don't hate this game, I'd give it a neutral if that were possible. But at the moment it's just not very enjoyable for me.3 found this helpful
My fiancee and I have been having a great time playing this game! She loves the mushroom and I love experimenting with the different element combinations and seeing how they interact. The gameplay loop is fun and the mechanics are easy to understand, but the levels still challenging enough to enjoy the progression. I'd highly recommend giving it a try!3 found this helpful
Great game. Gives me pokemon and pikmin vibes. Most of the strategic decision lies in the shop and what elements and golems you choose to push. I found its better to focus a few elements in a run, instead of trying to pick up every element .2 found this helpful
Really neat little game that I come back to every once in a while to relax to. The gameplay is pretty simple but solid (not everything needs to be chess), with chill auto-battler style combat where you direct mushroom soldiers and combine elements to create different cool golems. I recommend this for someone who wants a lighter roguelike tactics game with cute animations and a relaxing vibe, a welcome change in tone from more "serious" games. There's something about this game that feels nostalgic in a lovely way, tapping into some of the carefree fun that I remember having as a kid playing popcap games and such. In a world of edgy grimdark games that take themselves ever so seriously (I love those too), it's nice to have some cozy games with good vibes.1 found this helpful
very enemy sided1 found this helpful
so, i've played a few hours, attempted a number of runs, and aside from my 2nd run i had run ending bugs on nearly all of them. units getting stuck losing you the game or making the game state stuck (cap regeneration buildings) forcing you to forfeit your run. once my units weren't even stuck on terrain, they just sat out in the open and refused to fight, ranged units were literally in range to shoot and would just let the opponents murder them. so yeah, the game flat out doesn't work. i have no clue how it was even released. asking for a refund1 found this helpful
