Shrooms

Brimming with untapped potential based on concept alone, but *so* not ready for Early Access, much less for a price. Worth keeping an eye on, but not to buy. Not quite yet.

It's an alright concept, but it still needs a lot of development to really warrent a purchase. As of right now (August 9th, 2016) the last update was almost 8 months ago (December 18th, 2015.) I'm unsure if the dev is really busy with developing this game, or has disappeared. Their last post ever on the steam forums was January 14th. Will be a good game if it's ever completed, but right now everything looks a little shakey with no Dev presence anywhere (Even their twitter, website, and facebook have been neglected and untouched since December/January.) So to avoid any heart ache and rage, avoid the game for now. (I'll definitly change my review after I find some trace of recent dev activity.) edit: Okay, new edit. They're dead, Jim. Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/immersivedouro/ ) and Twitter ( https://twitter.com/immersivedouro ) haven't been updated in almost a year, "Official Forums" ( http://projectshrooms.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2&sid=ff06827f53b28783ff3c8d0570ee0e46 ) is ...

I started off as Big-Booty-Judy, enjoyed Judy's booty. Gathered some supplies, made a fire, and hunted animals etc... Then I started experimenting with the shrooms/weeds. I grew horns, slung webs, shot a laser with my eyes, and swam like a fish. Got overzealous and took too many shrooms. Started having psychedelic vision changes. Enjoyed Judy's Booty in psychedelic colors. If this game had more variety/less bugs it could be a 10/10. As is - in early alpha stages - it's a 7/ or 8/10.

Abandonware. No updates for half year. Thats sad, cuz it had "plot" and few intresting mechanics

This game was abandoned two years ago, despite the fact that it hasnt aged well with its following of players being mostly dissapointed by the updates coming to a screeching halt, however this may be heavily opinionated, I certainly believe this game had great potential, but even in its current state, with the multiplayer being a tad buggy and the like, it is still an excellent game, there is no other survival game on the market that uses this formula of mutating your body to adapt and survive, that said it would be an excellent, EXCELLENT surprise to hear this game being picked up by another developer, those on steam who are willing to take up this challenge, I salute you.

I do not recommend this game, it has gone silent and no new updates for a long time. There is nothing to really do in this game other then to cook meat, and try a couple different evolutions based on what mutations you get by interacting with the world.Should offer about a hour of entertainment but thats about it.Keep an eye on the forum if you are still interested but do not buy into this game until a developer can show signs of still being alive and working on this game.

An incredible interesting idea though still in very very early creation. it also seems highly in need of description for almost everything ingame. If your interested in this title id suggest keeping it on watch, it is still too early for a purchasable game. even on sale the price tag just does not justify payment for such an early access program. I had trouble even playing it for the first week after i had purchased it, then miraculously it started working. Id like to see this one developed further though i think i may wait awhile before i try playing it again. Extremely rough around the edges with an amazing amount of potential. id love to recommend this game, though at its current state of developement i cannot recommend it.

Just another game where the DEVS grab your money and run. It has been over six months not a word from the Devs. Cool concepts but going no where. Wish I could repay the Devs with a good old fashion CO CK PUNCH!

Very cool but very rough Early Acess game. It's a typical open world survival game in the same vein as Minecraft and Rust, but with the unique mechanic of beng able to mutate your character with various fungi and give them special abilities. So far, the game doesn't expalin any of its mecahnics which makes things confusing- I can't figure out what mutations give me what abilities and how to activate them, and I have no idea how to restore my health (I think eating some food restores it but some doesn't???). [There is actually a guide to the game that the devloper helpfully linked to in the comments for this review, qhich certainly helps.] The game has a crafting system, but it's limited so far and there's a laggy minigame involved that doesn't really seem to affect the outcome. It's also very easy to die accidentally, whether by starving to death (there's a food meter under your health meter, and when that runs out you die instantly) or by the angry panthers that will chase you across...

[h1]Shrooms is in EARLY ACCESS and it's Alpha Build can be subject to changes![/h1] [b]This review will be updated with every new patch that Immersive Douro introduces into the Alpha.[/b] Shrooms looked interesting in the trailer, and I thought that the devs were just playing with a female avatar instead of a male one because they preferred the sexy booteh, but I was wrong. Devs are WORKING on a male avatar... right? D: Anyway, I had a blast getting lost in the game and being immersed in a words filled with shrooms and where biomes seem to be condensed into one small area. That was confusing and I really did not understand what was happening, but it was fun regardless. Harvesting, crafting and inventory confused me alot, because my mind has been hardwired to using the left and right clicks, the E key, etc. This is rather fresh, but can be infuriating at times. Using an item is very time-consuming and sometimes even infuriating(I'm looking at you, items that don't stack). While it m...
