In a competitive market, Shape of Dreams has proven to be a formidable contender since its launch on September 11, selling 100,000 units in its first days. Developed by Lizard Smoothie and distributed by NEOWIZ, known for its work on Lies of P, this roguelike has quickly positioned itself as a success in the indie gaming scene.
A cooperative game with up to three friends
The game combines elements of hack ‘n slash, MOBA, and roguelike, presenting gameplay that does not sacrifice any of its parts. Players can choose from eight character classes, each offering a unique playstyle, and enjoy a cooperative experience with up to three friends. Shape of Dreams includes over 150 build variants per character, allowing for deep customization that keeps the game fresh, thanks to a procedural runs system that ensures a variable and dynamic experience in each match.
The reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, with nearly 3,000 Very Positive reviews on Steam, highlighting its appeal among the community. As the developers respond to player feedback, Shape of Dreams continues to receive updates and new content, a strategy that CEO Eunsop Shim has stated is essential to keep the fan experience alive: “We want to provide them with an experience that lives up to their passion and support”.
While Shape of Dreams was released on the same day as well-known titles like Borderlands 4, it has managed to stand out as the “unknown” game with the best launch in recent weeks. Undoubtedly, those who enjoy the genres that the game offers should keep it on their radar, as it promises to continue evolving in response to its growing player base.
