Mushroom Wars 2, the sequel to one of the last generation’s hit RTS games, is gearing up to roll into closed beta later this month. The game preserves the core gameplay mechanics that made the original so fun, while also adding a visual overhaul. The game also adds re-imagined campaigns for each tribe of the Mushroom Folk, along with new hero characters to control. The game also lets you play online and with friends via competitive multiplayer, as well as a cooperative mode. The game also recently earned the Best Strategy Game award at the White Nights conference in Saint-Petersburg.
The game’s closed beta on PC will run from Thursday, July 28 at 7 a.m. PT to Sunday, July 31 at 7 p.m. PT. If you are interested in taking part, here’s how. Owners of the original Mushroom Wars game on Steam get automatic access to the closed beta.
