Shape of Dream Reviews

Had a lot of fun playing this game as a demo, then early access then later full release. Achievements are all reasonable to get with a bit of effort if you care about that type of thing.

It takes a while to ramp up but after that it is very enjoyable. A lot of characters and builds so there is enough content for the money. Definitely a must play if you like the genre.

This game is super fun, I got into it very quickly. The art style is gorgeous and it's just a great time. Highly recommend.

Phenomenal game, great roguelike with interesting different builds to pursue. I really enjoyed playing different characters and unlocking new abilities and strengthening them over runs. If you enjoyed Risk of Rain's character progression system, this takes it a step further with some roguelite mechanics. Highly recommend!

An absolute gem and the only roguelike that I play. I absolutely HATE roguelikes, yet I LOVE this roguelike. Solid action mechanics, wide array of skills and abilities, and mad synergy. The gameplay loop is endlessly entertaining and there's many lobbies that will run multi-hour loops rather than face the final boss to build their characters better. The co-op is solid too - very little possibility of griefing and the community has been nothing but positive so far. There's a light storyline, but it doesn't seem too fleshed out yet. It doesn't matter much but it would be nice to see a Pure White Dream+ mode similar to the Limbo mode. The difficulty ratings are VERY accurate. Nightmare mode is a nightmare and button mashing probably only works until the second difficulty level. Even then, there are challenge modifiers starting here that WILL punish you for button mashing, and take you by surprise. All this content and balancing, and it was made by two people? Wonderful and insane, really.

The game is great, controls and skills work wonderfully. Unfortunately, very grindy game. You need to play dozens of hours to unlock metaprogress. Some achievements to unlock skills or characters are just simply impossible for me, for a person with bad reflexes xD. And boss fights are just too much spam on the screen, bosses floods you with spells and attacks. This again, for me was a little bit too much to dodge.

It's very fun, it's good to play solo but also with friends. While there's difficulty levels on the characters, i found them all pretty straight forward to play with.

Good game. Decent Progression with distinctive stages and boss types. Every character has different skill tree. Must play for any roguelike fan. Art style is also great.

Great build variety and fun runs. Stability and FPS also got improved since release.

The 1st hour: you think "cute game, a bit slow, bosses a bit demanding, lots of colorful icon - no idea what they do" 10th hour: "I am zapping through the map, making broken combos and bullying bosses like its highschool in the 90s" Fun & creative game. Perfect for both on PC and steam deck (one ask, guys, make switch 2 version with cross-saves/progression :))
