Teamwork is important in co-op games or multiplayer, but sometimes it’s not as enjoyable as it should be, mainly because people are not that willing to participate. However, single player experiences force you to take matters into your own hands, which means that you are entirely responsible for what happens to your characters and how they deal with the obstacles ahead.
Mushroom Heroes is an arcade platformer with puzzle elements, in which your main goal is to overcome obstacles by making use of their unique talents. The game takes its inspiration from old-timey games such as Lost Vikings, but it still feels pretty modern in some regards. Thus, even if the platforming is very important, more emphasis is put on the puzzles and your ability to use teamwork.
As such, the three mushrooms are all under your control, and you can switch between them with a simple button press. One of them has a shield that blocks incoming projectiles, another has a bow that can deal damage to enemies, and the last is able to jump higher and glide through the air for a few seconds. Naturally, each one of these talents is required in order to navigate the levels.
Although you only need to get one mushroom to the level exit in order to pass, there’s no way to sacrifice them, because every death means a stage restart. Sometimes you really have to leave one or two of them behind, especially when it comes to sections that require you to stack the character in order for one of them to reach a higher platform. Hence, there’s usually a lot of thinking involved in the process.
Lastly, the controls are very snappy and enjoyable, which is exactly how it should be in a platformer. Every character is easy to control, but you still need to display a bit of skill every now and again. As for the graphics, the retro style is quite pleasant, even if the backgrounds tend to get a tad repetitive after a while. Thankfully, the animations and the sound effects are more than decent.
In the end, Mushroom Heroes is a perfect blend of platforming and puzzles, as well as a little bit of action every now and again. You cannot really use speed to cross the levels, so it’s a lot more important to plan your moves carefully in order to overcome the traps.
