Shroom and Gloom Is Bringing Double Deckbuilding and Edible Mushrooms to Steam Early Access

It’s absolutely psychedelic. Team Lazerbeam and Devolver Digital have announced that Shroom and Gloom is coming to Steam Early Access on September 10th, 2026. It’s a first-person double deckbuilder roguelike where you wander through weird dungeons and fight disgusting mushroom monsters.

Eat the things you just murdered!

Shroom and Gloom has you exploring dark, dangerous, oddly musty dungeons while managing hundreds of cards split across two completely different decks. One is for exploring and messing around with the dungeon itself. The other is for actually surviving the fights.

You mainly build ridiculous synergies and increasingly stupid combos while pushing toward a mysterious underground place called The Gloom. The Explore deck is what you’ll use to reveal, search, break, unlock, ignite, feed and fix things as you go deeper into the dungeons.

Then there’s the Combat deck. You use it to hack, slash, roast and eat the myco-monstrosities standing between you and The Gloom. You can upgrade every attack infinitely and keep growing and modifying them. So, even rare cards can eventually become superweapons for you later.

Every enemy you encounter is edible. Why block an enemy’s attack when you could just eat the enemy? Shroom and Gloom gives you a bunch of ways to season, skewer and roast fallen fungal enemies, then eat them to restore lost health. You can even throw roasted enemies into a pot and turn them into soups.

Have you seen them shrooms?

Shroom and Gloom mixes hand-drawn art and animations with dozens of rich 3D spaces, creating a surreal world. You’ll see eyeball-melting art, literally and neonish colours that make it all look quite trippy. Take a look at the game below.

With the Early Access launch, Shroom and Gloom will have five playable characters: Paperboy, Lunch-lady, Concerned Parent, Janitor and Activist. There are a bunch of quests that can unlock characters and expand your card pools, along with more mushrooms. So, check it out on Steam.
