![]() ![]() Although it’s a solid, chunky campaign, though, it does end up exposing some of the game’s shortcomings. As someone who loves games with campaigns, I was especially looking forward to going through Mushroom Wars 2’s story, which boasts four episodes with 50 missions each. ![]() Then again, competitive multiplayer is only one slice of this portobello as Mushroom Wars 2 also has a dedicated campaign that spans several missions. Versus play against other humans is Mushroom Wars 2 at its best, especially when those humans are right next to you and you can see their expressions and reactions. “That is soooo cheap!” she said, laughing at the sight of a bazillion mushroom troops leaving my buildings, only to converge on a single solitary fortification of hers.ĭespite her loss, my niece was clearly having fun. That’s like blocking an opponent’s shot in basketball and converting a four-point play at the other end.īy the time she realized what I was doing, it was too late. I especially targeted buildings that produced troops, which had the added effect of taking away my niece’s ability to recruit more fighters while allowing me to grow my own forces. I would then split up and disperse my forces to other buildings, which would cause her to send part of her sizable force to attack my “smaller” outposts, only for me to retreat then have all my forces converge on one of her less defended outposts. All of a sudden, I had a beachhead in the middle of the map. That’s when I got a cheesy yet brilliant idea of waiting for the battle to finish before sending my troops - ALL of them - to attack her weakened forces in said tower to take it from her. Should I dismantle one of the towers? Should I go for broke and try to steal one of her buildings? Fortunately, my niece was new to the game as well and made the mistake of attacking a neutral tower first. All of that's on purpose- PW has literally stated that yes, AT takes places in this post-apocalyptic world.As I saw my niece slowly but surely double her troop counts against mine, I felt a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. Most other stuff you have to pick up on yourself. And yes they do literally call it the Great Mushroom War in the show, although it's only mentioned by name a few times. You'll see things like rubble, things that look like the ruins of our modern civilization. If you're not looking for the references they're easy to miss. ![]() In the New Frontier episode, Jake talks about how "rockets haven't been reinvented yet." A fleeting remark but still pretty important when you think about the implications.ĭon't feel bad for missing it in the show. ![]() There are lots of references made to the fact that society has been destroyed and has begun anew. Another notable reference to atomic bombs comes in the Marceline's Closet episode- when Finn is counting for their hide and seek game it's an unmistakeble allusion to the nuclear bombs in the war. Nuclear bombs: They can be seen half submerged in the opening sequence, along with other debris. In both Susan Strong episodes we see what might be a group of humans who went underground and mutated, probably due to radiation. Finn's the last human, and we can assume most died in the war. There are many episodes which refer indirectly to the war. Notably, there are several characters on the show this old who must have lived through the war (Marceline, her father, and the Ice King). The Mushroom War took place 1000 years ago. There's evidence I've gathered about this both from direct quotes from PW and from what I've noticed in the show myself. ![]()
