What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Shroom & Gloom is an excellent entry in the deckbuilder genre, blending atmosphere and gameplay in a way I have been looking for in other titles.
The concept of building 2 separate decks is present in Griftlands, the atmospheric and immersive visuals are reminiscent of Inscryption, as is the first-person perspective which you can also find in Diceomancer.
If you do make the right choices at camp, your combat cards will be way stronger, and if your combat deck is strong enough, you have more HP to be greedy at the camp.
And don't get me started on the music, the atmosphere, the awesome, quirky playable characters and synergies that you can make with the dual deck system.
The art design, SFX, and setting is amazing too, and it definitely gives off some Inscryption vibes while being quite different overall.
Despite the tag, runs great on Steam Deck, did not run into any issues with the controls (other than having to use touch screen to open unlocked card packs), bugs, or performance.
