Fighting for My Life in A First Person CARD GAME! - Shroom and Gloom

Play it yourself: teamlazerbeam.itch.io/shroom-...
Shroom and Gloom - it's a first person card game like Inscryption, but this feels like you're in the action personally, where Inscryption is more like playing a card game with a friend. Cool take on the genre, and the game itself is great as well!

WOO NEW CARD GAME

[@briansun9261]

cool

[@zulhaikal1599]

Ive got a game you might like, its called For The King. Its an adventurous strategy game, and it can be challenging even for the easiest difficulty

[@dovahchicken935]

This game reminds me of another game called slay the spire, in my opinion slay the spire is better. You should check it out.

[@doomse150]

@@kendrickvickers2610 Vulnerability works different here, because more stacks also increase the amplification modifier, meaning 1 stack is +50% damage, 2 stacks are +100% damage and so on. Which you would know if you paid attention to the video. And since the stacks still only wear off one by one, it is actually way more broken than in e.g. Slay the Spire.

I would like to point out that your unholy soup was made from 3 toasties, so presumably if you end a fight with unconsumed toasties in your deck, you can throw them into the pot to make soup without losing anything too valuable.

[@brendenhawley2225]

Yep, that is a lot of the fun of the game, all the things cards give you do not go away at the battle, so one can use the toasty to get the soups with 99 uses and than use those soups to make more soups in a kind of soup Oroborus. Notably cooking only uses one use just like eating, so it actually a good deal.

I don't know the extent of the game that the developers have in mind, but this definitely feels like it has a lot of potential.

The 1 cost "if fatal activate twice" (forgot the name) is really frickin good, especially against the stupid shield shit. Extremely fun, kinda want these guys to make a longer and more in depth version of this game. I would totally pay 20+ dollars for it

[@alissommclim]

Whoever did the thumbnail did an AWESOME work, it is beautiful.

[@TeamLazerbeam]

[@potatolife3694]

Tyler if you want to beat the game easily you can get a scythe and use the training dummy (one training dummy is fine) on the scythe to get both vulnerable and if fatal increase damage by 2 and just spam the scythe with a small deck and it will power up per enemy it kills. If you get either of the sacrifices and growth cards will power it up quicker. I got a 91 damage scythe and rekted the final boss. The vulnerable is to get rid of shields quicker. You can give your other cards replenish and energize for consistency. Also you can run by holding shift.
