Mycelium is a territory strategy game played in real-time where you need to grow a fungus colony underground. Begin with a small network of connections and grow your fungus to claim territories. You aim to defeat other colonies, disconnect them from the network, and conquer their lands.
Development is the essence of Mycelium. Extend your fungus into an empty territory in order to develop your network or go into enemy territories in order to start an assault. Play in single-player mode against computer-generated opponents or online against other players. Every battle will be new for you, and you will have to change your tactics according to the competition.
Development at all costs is not the best tactic you can choose. Find vulnerable connections between your opponents' networks and disconnect them to let the isolated territories die out. Also, keep in mind that all your connections should remain connected to the place where the network began to grow.
The game uses simple mouse and keyboard controls:
With Spore and Toxin, you can add additional tactics to your arsenal. Deploy them wisely to expand your empire and threaten your opponents. You should also be careful about distributing your biomass properly, as sending all your power to one place will expose others.
Mycelium brings together swift decisions, territory domination, and strategic attacks, thus offering you an interesting strategy game experience. Create a powerful network, safeguard its connections, and make perfect strikes. Will you manage to conquer the whole map with your fungus?
