Gameplay

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.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
86 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
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.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
64 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
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.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
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.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art design, SFX, and setting is amazing too, and it definitely gives off some Inscryption vibes while being quite different overall.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
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.
