Mushroom Evolution Tower Defense

|



This tower defense, if you can bear with the annoying BGM (it gets annoying the longer it goes) and the feeling of being the mushroom king, is kinda fun and addicting. In Mushroom Evolution you are given 20 types of towers to defend your base(farm) with. You'll have to combine elements in order to unlock towers to defend your mushroom farm.

Each element costs 200 gold, and every 5 levels the game gives you a random item. Your mushrooms start off with one element and item slot, they gain more element slots the higher you level them up. The max level of a mushroom is 5, with a max element slot of 3 and an item slot of 1.

The Mushrooms (or as the game calls it, Gomphus)
The Gomphus are your towers, and there are two kinds of towers you can build. The pure elemental kind, or the mixed elemental kind. Pure elemental mushrooms can be upgraded until level 6, they have sick damage compared to most mixed mushrooms, and they loose their weakness to different elemental types(each gem gives +25% more damage to their counter element).

Mixed elemental mushrooms have a -50% and +50% damage depending on the element of creature they are firing at, have much lower damage, and can only be upgraded until level 5. Pure elementals don't get elemental penalties, they only get the +100% damage bonus. The upside of the mixed elemental mushrooms are they get some cool abilities.

The elements you can combine are Fire, Earth, Water, Thunder and Wind.

Fire- deals 50% more damage to Earth, deals 50% less damage to Water
Water- deals 50% more damage to Fire, deals 50% less damage to Thunder
Thunder- deals 50% more damage to Water, deals 50% less damage to Wind
Wind- deals 50% more damage to Thunder, deals 50% less damage to Earth
Earth- deals 50% more damage to Wind, deals 50% less damage to Fire

Mushroom Evolution Upgrades
Every time you finish a map, you earn skill points which can be used to buy upgrades from the world map. The upgrades are adding a random gem or accessory at the start of the game, extending the time you have to finish a wave, earn cash over time (PICK THIS), increase max lives and increase max damage.

I always pick cash over time, max damage, and random gem. I think the extra lives are useless, if you don't plan to loose any lives, and why would you, what's the use of getting extra lives lol. 50 lives are good and plenty.

Mushroom Evolution Tips
You want at least two level 6 PURE elemental mushrooms, and a lot of support mushrooms. Mainly slow, confusion, stun and teleport.

Place the slow mushrooms infront of your damage dealers, the confusion mushrooms somewhere in the middle, and your teleport mushrooms at the back. It's best to position your mushrooms somewhere that the creeps will pass twice or more. Teleport mushrooms placed near the farm can save your ass from losing lives, or the game.

For damage, you always want to go for the pures. Save clovers for your teleport mushrooms!

Final thoughts on Mushroom evolution
LET US TURN OFF THE BGM!!! The sound effects are okay, but after hearing the freaking Battle hymn of the republic after an hour of playing it, it really makes you crazy. When you turn off the sound, sadly the sound effects also go away, which makes it boring. Either play with no sound effects, or suffer through the annoying back ground music. lol

Mushroom Evolution Tower Defense is a nice game, I would play it more if I could turn off the background music while keeping the sound effects.
