Mushroots

Fun RTS game with active development. I don't think the video trailer for this game gives it justice as it only shows explosions. Think of this game as creep spreading in starcraft 2, but the creep can attack other creep in multiple ways and harden itself to defend. I hope the devs make a better gameplay trailer to showcase how this game really plays. The game currently only has matchmaking (vCPU and online) with 2 maps finished, but campaign and arcade modes are in progress. Looking forward to more updates!

This is a decent RTS game with quite the unusual mechanics - there are no moving units, only quickly propagating shroom-buildings through which map control and battle is done. It feels fairly balanced, and the AI is good enough to pose some challenge for the player - though not overwhelmingly so. The presentation of the game is somewhat rough, but it doesn't subtract from the gameplay. Keep in mind that currently (at release) there is no tutorial of any shape or form, and you will need to figure out the mechanics of the game just by playing. Thankfully, most of them are intuitive enough to get a grasp of quickly. Overall, this is a fun little game to put a few hours into, and hopefully it has potential for becoming more than just that.

It is indeed a root based mushroom RTS as it claims and it is sufficiently different from other RTS games that it can stand on its own in the genre. I've lost my first round after 30 minutes of battling back and forth, until suddenly my mushrooms all died quickly in a surprise attack.
