Lizard Smoothie co-founder and CEO Eunsop Shim commented on the hotfix and hinted at future updates in a press release.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Many fans have been with us since the release of our demo, and we want to continue to deliver an experience worthy of their passion and support,&#8221; said Shim. &#8220;Our team also has plans for more updates, improvements and new content in Shape of Dreams. Please look forward to announcements from us in the future!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shape of Dreams supports singleplayer or co-op for teams of up to four while blending MOBA and roguelike mechanics. You traverse dreamscapes filled with deadly monsters where you collect and upgrade memories (abilities) on your way to boss fights.<\/p>\n<p>There are eight &#8220;travellers&#8221; available to play at launch, although you need to unlock each of them. Even with just eight characters, the ability to mix well over 100 memories and essences allows plenty of room for customizing your build as you go.<\/p>\n<p>While I don&#8217;t usually like MOBA-style games, I&#8217;ve had a good time trying out Shape of Dreams so far. After the hotfix, Normal difficulty is satisfyingly challenging without being punishing, especially in co-op.<\/p>\n<p>The eight starting travellers offer enough variety to fit plenty of playstyles, although my favorite so far is melee duelist Mist. If you want to give Shape of Dreams a try yourself, there&#8217;s a free demo and the full game is <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2444750\/Shape_of_Dreams\/\" target=\"_blank\">currently 20% off on Steam<\/a> through September 24.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"8289c355-659e-437a-9de6-a428820e52b3\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/in-a-week-dominated-by-silksong-and-borderlands-co-op-roguelike-shape-of-dreams-still-managed-to-launch-on-steam-as-an-instant-top-seller.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" data-dimension112=\"8289c355-659e-437a-9de6-a428820e52b3\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/in-a-week-dominated-by-silksong-and-borderlands-co-op-roguelike-shape-of-dreams-still-managed-to-launch-on-steam-as-an-instant-top-seller\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indie roguelike Shape of Dreams sold over 100,000 copies within its first 24 hours on sale on Steam this weekend, marking an exciting start for the new co-op roguelike, despite having its release squeezed between heavy hitters Hollow Knight: Silksong and Borderlands 4.
