United States, May 2026 | Shroomwood on Steam, the upcoming top-down action roguelike from Sporelite Games and publisher Zemore Indie Games, will participate in Steam’s upcoming Bullet Fest beginning June 8th. The event celebrates bullet hells, shooters, and projectile-heavy action games from across the indie and AAA space.
In Shroomwood, players take control of Shroomie, a small mushroom warrior exploring a dangerous and ever-changing forest filled with hostile creatures, powerful bosses, randomized dungeons, and relentless combat encounters. Blending ranged combat with melee mechanics, the game delivers fast-paced roguelike progression with a colorful fungal-inspired world.
Steam Bullet Fest runs from June 8 through June 15 and highlights games centered around intense shooting mechanics, bullet-heavy gameplay, and action-focused combat. During the event, players will be able to discover upcoming titles, try demos, and wishlist featured games across the genre.
