The three-click gesture was a bit fiddly and prone to misclicks at first, but over time I got used to it and found it very useful - even if I still occasionally fumble an order. It’s tempting to send the entire force every time you attack, but it’s important to maintain garrisons, which you can do by selecting the size of the force you want to send out (100, 75, 50, or 25 percent of the village’s total pool). Sending troops out against enemy settlements is simple and elegant, and I’ve never gotten tired of watching the stolid little mushroom soldiers marching shoulder to shoulder (or perhaps, cap to cap) in their tight formations.
#SOLDIERS AT WAR GAME FATIGUE UPGRADE#
Double-clicking an eligible village will initiate an upgrade, and a single click on a town will open a small radial menu that gives you options to upgrade or transform into a forge, a turret, or back into a village. The simplest way to do this is to drag a finger from the origin village to the target village, but a triple click will allow you to draw a line through multiple settlements to send all their soldiers at a single target simultaneously. Larger settlements can hold more soldiers and produce them faster, but the later upgrades get expensive.įrom here, it’s a matter of directing troops toward settlements you want to reinforce or attack. You can sacrifice troops to make your settlements larger or change them into forges (which improve your army’s performance) or turrets (which will automatically fire at enemies). Your starting villages will immediately begin generating soldiers, with the number available displayed in a little cloud overhead. Once battle begins, you’ll have a few settlements to start out, depending on the map and scenario. They can speed troops up, add to morale, or sneakily take over unguarded enemy settlements. These don’t show up in battle, but instead carry a unique loadout of new special abilities. New to Mushroom Wars 2 are heroes, which you can select at the beginning of each match, whether you’re playing the campaign or multiplayer. This didn’t bother me, though-the times when I find myself playing mobile games are most often when I’m on a bus or a train, and I’d much prefer getting straight into the action over watching non-interactive exposition. While there’s a story of sorts, told wordlessly through painterly scenes of elder mushrooms passing knowledge along to the younger warrior mushrooms (mosquitoes are involved somehow), it’s vague and largely uninteresting. In this world, it has been fungi rather than primates who wound up achieving sentience, so you’re a mushroom commander of mushroom soldiers who live inside mushrooms and are at war with mushrooms. Mushroom Wars 2, now handled by developer Zillion Whales, has been out since last year, and now with a brand-new Steam release, we figured we’d give it a look-see.Īs in the first game, Mushroom Wars 2 is a conquest game about building up forces in villages in order to conquer new settlements and take over a map.
#SOLDIERS AT WAR GAME FATIGUE ANDROID#
One of these has been Mushroom Wars, which began life on the PlayStation 3 but found its fanbase on iOS and eventually Android back in 2013. Clash of Clans and Clash Royale, while not particularly great games, have proven incredibly popular, and their success has led directly to more developers exploring the RTS mobile space. After years of real-time strategy languishing as a genre thanks to changing player tastes and a dearth of new ideas, I found it a bit surprising that the shot of innovation the genre needed has come primarily from mobile games.
