Tonight we decided to check out Mycopunk, a Borderlandsesque First Person Shooter where you can choose between four different Robots to play with their own abilities. Devolver Digital was pimping it on Bluesky not long after Randy Bitchford’s latest PR faux paus, and so I got it for myself and a friend to check out! For the price it’s actually quite a bit of fun, and in some ways the missions are even more challenging than the other Borderlands games. It has a central hub world (basically this universe’s Sanctuary) with some data logs to read through, a shooting range, a race car track, and even a rogue beach ball that may or may not kill you.
We keep getting deployed to a planet consumed by copious amounts of fungus that range from benign to monstrous. You can’t see it in this shot, but the game does a good job of throwing what feels like everything at you. In a sense that makes it more challenging compared to the Borderlands games. I have a feeling we’ll be visiting it in our weekly weekend gaming rotation.
