This in combination with the fact that the bulk of the content in the game is in its campaign, you are really just gonna buy this for the multiplayer. When I loaded it up and started the story mode, it wasn’t more than 10 minutes into the game before I was bored and driven to play something else. That being said, there really isn’t much more driving this game. Still, it’s easy to sink an hour or so into this game with friends, because the matches are fairly quick.Īs I said, the thing that Mushroom Wars 2 does the best is the online multiplayer. This might seem like a lot, but there is not enough variety between the game modes or maps to set them apart from each other. There are over 40 different maps to play with online and three game modes head to head, king of the hill, and capture. You basically drag and drop where you want your army to go, and you can choose what percent of your building you want to deploy. The combat system feels very fluid and does not over complicate things. I don’t think you’ll be making any prize money, but there are still leaderboards and ranked ladders to climb in this game. There is just something satisfying about crushing all your buddies with the help of little mushroom soldiers. There is also a competitive online scene when it comes to Mushrooms Wars 2. These can range from speeding up your troops, turning your enemies into chickens (my personal favourite) and shrouding your troops in a fog, hiding their movements.
There are 12 different heroes you can choose from, each with four unique abilities that will totally piss off your friends and opponents.Įvery hero has abilities specific to their persona that you can use in your skirmishes. This can be done in a 1v1, 1v1v1, or 2v2 style. The meat of the experience of Mushroom Wars 2 lies in the online matches you can play with up to four other players. While it’s kinda cool to deal with obstacles like that, the campaign isn’t very difficult and you don’t achieve the same sense of satisfaction that you do when playing against other players in real time. However, there are few maps in the story that have obstacles such as a giant frog snatching your mushrooms with his sticky tongue. The campaign is relatively the same thing as the online matches. The campaign is pretty lacklustre in content but it does a nice job at introducing you to the mechanics of the game, allowing you to take other players head on without having to learn on the fly. I would recommend looking at your abilities before going online, this way you won’t get stomped right away like me. A single mistake can suddenly decide the fate of the rest of the game. One thing I particularly liked is because the games are so short, there is not a lot of time to plan your attack, which keeps you on your toes the entire time. I had not expected this game to keep me entertained for hours, but it did so without fail with the quick-paced combat and short matches keeping me hungry for more. The fast-paced action of the game and the abilities at your disposal quickly immerse you in the fight. Mushroom Wars 2 has a very simplistic style to its gameplay, essentially having you move troops from one building to the next until you control everything. But once I started playing it, that all changed.
