Source facts

What is the core gameplay loop of this title?

Our guidance

How do the two distinct decks function during a run?

You manage two separate decks for different purposes. The combat deck is essential for surviving fierce battles against fungal foes, while the explore deck is used to navigate dungeons, modify your cards, and unlock new weapons and abilities.

Our guidance

Can I improve my starting cards throughout a session?

Yes, the game offers unique ways to grow and modify cards infinitely. You can evolve low-level starting cards into over-powered attacks or modify rare cards into game-breaking super-weapons to help you survive deeper into the dungeons.

How can I restore health during a dungeon crawl?

You can restore lost health by eating your defeated enemies. After you season, skewer, or roast your foes, consuming them provides a vital health boost to keep you going through the dangerous, surreal world of mushrooms.
