![]() Watching them jump for joy when they capture an armory brings a smile to my face every time. There is no story mode here which is a shame because I’d love to get to know these little shrooms. It’s an easy enough game to grasp yet it’s tough to master. It’s simplistic and straightforward and it makes for an easy game to pick up for a couple of minutes and feel satisfied. The game is simple enough, you are a fearless commander and skillful strategist and your role is to battle opposing tribes, capture and hold settlements, defensive towers, and armories, and increase the size of your Mushroom forces and win the battle. Who knew being the General of the Mushroom Army would be so hard? Who knew I’d be writing about mushrooms and not talking about a Mario game? 2016 is weird. Mushroom Wars starts off easy enough for the first few battles but once it lets you fight on your own things get hard fast. And from here on out I promise to lay off the Mushroom puns. Of the games I mentioned before I’ve conquered them all, except for Mushroom Wars. Thankfully it was released on Steam back in April of this year and I could finally dive into this colorful real-time strategy game where smart strategy meets furious action in epic PvP and PvE battles. With some many games out this summer, it’s hard to find Mushroom to pay attention to the little guys, I get it, you don’t have time for Shittake but Mushroom Wars is worth your time. ![]() It received an 82/100 score on M etacritic and was given “ Honorable Mentions” on Gamasutra. Mushroom Wars was included in IGN‘s “ Top 25 PSN Games” list that year. My year of partying meant I missed out on a lot of good games like Uncharted 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Assassin’s Creed II, Minecraft, Prototype, Borderlands and the PSexclusiveve Mushroom Wars. It was also my last year living in Vancouver before I hopped on a plane and headed to Toronto. I couldn’t tell you a single game or movie that came out that year as I was to focused on being out till 6 in the morning every night dancing to some guy wearing a mouse head that we called Dead Mau Five. I could go to bars (legally), I was working a dead-end job that barely covered my bills and I didn’t do much but party. I had moved away from my mom’s place and was living with some guy I met off Craigslist. ![]() For the first time in my life, I didn’t have to go to school. ![]()
