What players say

A trip down memory lane, I used to play this all the time on the Playstation 3 back in 2010 It's a game with a short campaign and few options to play with in the sandbox, but in the simplicity is a numbers game that if you underestimate your opponent, you lose everything within the blink of an eye. The characters are cute, but cold, calculating, and ruthless. Each round doesn't take long, but seeing the time limit...

Mushroom Wars is a node-based RTS and defense hybrid. It's fun and fast-paced, with simple but appealing visuals. The downside is balance. The last level spikes hard, and only one game mode really stays fun long-term. I did finish the final level on Normal, but I almost gave up. Overall, it's a good pick if you like a challenge or don't mind leaving a game unfinished. Recommended, but narrowly.
