Our take on Mind Over Mushroom
The game emphasizes its unusual character roster and varied settings, but its scope is specifically tactical: characters reset between battles, and the stated content is 25+ encounters. It is centered on individual fights rather than persistent character development.
What is Mind Over Mushroom?
Mind Over Mushroom is a turn-based tactical strategy game where movement is based on distance rather than a grid.
Before each battle, players choose forces from more than a dozen unlockable character types, including giant snails, walking bombs, carnivorous plants, and necromancers. Characters have distinct abilities, and combat includes status effects that can be used in different ways. Individual characters do not persist between battles, so forces can be selected anew for each fight. The game includes more than 25 tactical battles in locations such as caves, deserts, jungles, and wastelands. Its story follows survivors on a journey to destroy a fungus that has infected much of the population and turned them into soldiers.
