About Mycelium
Mycelium is a roguelite pet-simulator where you guide a sentient fungi colony, growing and training specialized spores to explore dangerous post-extinction ecosystems and gather resources for your home base. Engage in fast-paced third-person combat against evolved insects across three procedurally-generated biomes, upgrading your colony's subspecies and customizing weapons scavenged from the environment to climb the food chain.
EXPLORE, CULTIVATE, AND THRIVE IN THE POST-EXTINCTION ERA
Spores–a new, sentient species of fungi–have evolved more intelligent than their rooted ancestors. The rest of the world, however, has evolved too. The Spore colony needs guidance to explore, overcome, and multiply across the exotic world they've bloomed into, lest they become nutrients for this dangerous ecosystem.

HOME-GROWN FUNGI
In this Roguelite Pet-Simulator, explore runs as the creatures you've grown! When safe at the home colony, upgrade and grow new subspecies to train and nurture. Unlock new furniture and decor to evolve your home, and boost colony happiness.

STAB, SLASH, AND SMASH THROUGH THE WILDS
Choose a Spore from your community to play as, and use their customized stats and abilities to engage in fast, third-person combat against an evolving insect ecosystem. Brave the wilds and bring back as many nutrients as possible to nourish your colony.

STICKS AND STONES AND SHARPENED BONES
Experiment with a variety of weapons, each with their own unique attributes. Scavenge for plant, stone, and bone weapons fashioned from the environment. The farther you adventure, the stronger you'll become!


WILD, EXOTIC, AND UNFORGIVING TO THE NAIVE
In the wake of humanity and Anthropocene life, insects, arthropods, and all things that scuttle evolved into vacant ecological niches. The Spores, plump with nutritious fungi, challenge the bugs for the top spot in the food chain. Fight your way through 3 lush, procedurally-assembled biomes, each presenting greater threats but yielding even greater rewards!

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Mycelium is a charming roguelite-slasher with adorable mushroom visuals, engaging combat, and a heartfelt design that players appreciate for its cute aesthetic and satisfying upgrade systems. However, the game suffers from optimization issues, camera controls that feel floaty and unresponsive, and movement mechanics that sometimes send players flying across maps, which detract from the experience. Players seem to enjoy it as a free offering or casual experience, though some feel the brevity and technical rough edges prevent it from being a must-play.
First and foremost I want to say that while I leave a positive review I would rate it more neutral at this time. The reason I leave a positive is solely for the fact that I can tell the person who made this truly wanted to create this from their heart. I love the little story in the beginning and the mushrooms are great to chill around and view! That being said there is plenty id love updated on in the future. 1.) please optimize this, it’s not an intensive game but it doesn’t run very well for some reason. Heck, putting down the render actually makes it run worse. 2.) though I didn’t play a ton, the rolling needs to not send me half way across the map. 3.) camera is very floaty, for a rouge lite it needs to be more snappy and less greased up. 4.) on all menus, please make the B button exit the menus. It’s a pain trying to find the exit half the time. 5.) Again not sure if addressed later but I’d love a jump button, I kept falling into a river due to the roll sending me flying. Overall the idea is great and I love the world building, I think it just needs some QoL changes and it should be amazing!3 found this helpful
They gave me $10 to give a good review.1 found this helpful
Very cute and simple roguelite-slasher/rpg. Just 4 maps and 1 boss + hub. Minuses: - short - low optimization (well, it`s Unity) - hit-boxes (but it`s not serious action, so doubtful minus) Pluses: + visual style + gameplay, fights + animations + music and sound + RPG-system, simple but usefull, like in big RPG games. + now it`s FREE! Highly recommended.1 found this helpful
