The Souls-like action game Mycelium Relic has concluded its Early Access phase, with version 1.0 now officially released. Featuring low-poly visuals, the game distinguishes itself from typical dark medieval Souls-likes through its robotic protagonist and fungus-based abilities, offering a fresh visual and gameplay direction.
The game lacks traditional class divisions. Character builds rely primarily on weapons with distinct actions and stats, armor tailored to different playstyles and aesthetic preferences, and interchangeable mechanical body parts. Players start with a dilapidated, moldy frame, which can later be upgraded by swapping components to enhance health, stamina, frame integrity, and fungal magic potency.
Different fungi grant characters unique abilities that can be combined to create new effects. For example, healing water can restore teammates' health or extinguish fires, allowing the same ability to serve both combat and environmental interactions. The game supports co-op play, though it remains unconfirmed whether multiplayer features seamless drop-in/drop-out or follows a more restrictive Souls-like design.
For movement, characters possess air dash and gliding capabilities, useful for exploration and platforming. A demo for Mycelium Relic is still available on Steam, and players can also purchase the full 1.0 version directly.
