  • Summary: Parasitic mushrooms invaded from space, spreading all over the Milky Way. Since humans are long extinct and vegetables rule the Earth, it shouldn’t really be YOUR problem anymore. Except that you’ve got to suspend your disbelief, because somehow you’re the one who has to stop the invasion.Parasitic mushrooms invaded from space, spreading all over the Milky Way. Since humans are long extinct and vegetables rule the Earth, it shouldn’t really be YOUR problem anymore. Except that you’ve got to suspend your disbelief, because somehow you’re the one who has to stop the invasion. Surprise!

    Join the Aveggers aboard their space cruiser Soil-Trek and travel to planets throughout our solar system in order to obtain the long-lost human technology necessary to defeat the head mushroom honcho, Satanus Boletus, who’s taken residence on the Sun. And to take off mushroom caps!

    It’s not going to be easy, but as brave Carrotado, joined by General Despotato, scientists Nicola Siesta and Garlic Ailstein, you might just be able to do it. As long as you don’t let your "favorite" mother-in-lawn and the ever spiritual Holy Broccoli get in your head…

    Smells Like a Mushroom is occasionally funny, but it outstays its welcome pretty quickly. Though I found the dialogue annoying and the gameplay was repetitive, it was fun to experience. The idea of mutant vegetables and deadly mushrooms was unique. However, the execution is a little off. This was a shame as it holds it back.

    Smells Like a Mushroom achieves its goal of being a silly game, and it does so with aplomb. What is less successful is the whole “be a good game” thing, as the action is repetitive and the jokes begin to wear thin very quickly.
