Shrooms! Tower Defence Mini-Review

Shrooms! Tower Defence is the debut game of solo developer Terra Mater Games. Their background in biology shines through as real mushrooms are vivified to protect their habitat from loggers. A simple tower defense game providing a unique challenge from an inability to control mushroom (tower) locations, making every mushroom selection critical to properly defend your trees from destruction. Each mushroom has several skills to choose from for further specialization, on top of a selection of buffs and debuffs to pick from at the start of each match. This in-depth control of gameplay and difficulty helps this game stand out from others in the genre. After completing 50 waves, players also have the option to continue in endless mode for further challenge. I would recommend this to anyone interested in tower defense looking to shake it up a little.
