Mycelium Conquest

2026-06-21: The dev seems incredibly responsive and fixed my two major complaints within a matter of hours! I have even greater hopes for this game now. ----- Original Review, 2026-06-20: I look forward to what this game will be. I don't regret the time I've spent with it, but there are quite a few bugs, like the hover UI for buildings completely disappearing (You depend on this to tell you whether that building is operating well.), which requires a full save and reload to fix until it breaks again, so far as I can tell. This seems to happen sometimes when building things, which leads you to not want to build things for having to completely reload the game as a reward. This is the most egregious one, but expect things like teleporting fauna and various visual glitches as well, though these aren't gamebreaking. With that out of the way, the game is an interesting sort of literal 4X where you're spreading a fungus across the map to autoharvest flora and fauna. You get attacked by perambulating creatures in addition to waves that occasionally come. There's no penalty for overproduction and while resources do sometimes move on the map and you can build storages (which just raise your global cap and don't actually store or move anything), most of the time things seem to just magically be where they need to be if they're autocollected by your meat machine. it's very difficult to ascertain what you should build when. I assume these are things that will be fleshed out later. While I appreciate the "organic" nature of the building UI, it's really unfair to the player that one has to just memorize where things are rather than having some sort of list with attributes clearly displayed without needing to hover. Also, it's confusing that each tier has buildings that require the next tier or even two tiers to build. Nothing that one can't overcome through determination to play, because the main gameplay loop is very entertaining, but the UI could really use some love. Like I said at the start of this review, I look forward to what this game will be. There are the bones of something great here and every time I see it update, I plan to hop back in and see what's changed. I'll try to keep this review representative of my experience. To the dev: please take all this as constructive feedback and know I'm rooting for you, because what's here is quite unique and fun already. P.S. - The music rocks.
