Not a whole lot is new in Zillion Whales' Mushroom Wars: Space! when compared to the first game. The tiny spore-based denizens still propagate at a speed that would astound a jackrabbit, and they still love annihilating each other in vicious land wars.
Are these two traits related? Hard to say for sure. Either way, if you're expecting massive innovation out of Mushroom Wars: Space!, it's not forthcoming. This isn't like Angry Birds adding "Space" to its name before flipping its physics system upside-down and backwards. This is still about conquering mushroom houses and towers in order to bolster your armies' numbers.
The level packs for Mushroom Wars: Space! take place across differently-themed planets, which is presumably where the “Space!” bit of the moniker comes from. The multiplayer option (which allows for three players at once) has also been juiced up a bit with the inclusion of active and passive spells that can be crafted from ingredients you win in said battles.
If you haven't played Mushroom Wars at all though, you may as well suit up and shoot for the stars to see what all the fuss is about.
