I'm addicted to roguelite, Shape of Dreams: Prologue (free, full game in May) progress carries

I probably have 40 or so real hours played.

At first I thought it looked pretty ok but not very interesting. But your builds can end up being so broken and there's a lot of cool depth to play with too. You can totally focus on one ability only and make a build with it if you want and still be viable. Classes are all unique and play quite differently. You have a ranger, a valkyrie?, templar, sorc, etc.

The controls are very good, basically twin stick like. If you played PoE2 recently, it's just like that if you choose WASD option. Controller works well too.

The gameplay loop is very addictive and I just hop to play the rotating quests a couple times a day now but still find myself playing a full run here and there.

The prologue is free and your progress carries over to the full game.

They're going to pull the prologue soon though and put out an updated demo with new content in Feburary. Then full release in May.

I might make a video of some gameplay or somethin that I find interesting. The Mist is my favorite class by far, fuckin teleport around and blow up the entire screen. It's ridiculous.

I just thought a few people might be interested here I know everyone isn't into this genre etc.

So far this is my favorite game I've played in a while.

I'm about to start up Blasphemous 2 for the first time, just got the Mea Cupla dlc.

I'm still playin the fuck outta this


Those trees take quite a while to fill up. After probably 50ish hours of play I've only seen the secret boss twice. Seen it once last night in the first co op game I've ever hosted. People in my party were like 'wtf is that'. We were on hardest difficulty and we all were destroying shit. But we wiped on boss ha.

Yeah we've been playing this in three player co-op and shit gets crazy once you're buffed up to the nth degree and synergizing off each other.

Very promising title that could rival Ravenswatch for us.

No idea why people would opt to play this with typical MOBA controls though, instead of WASD movement.

It's always good to have options (when it comes to controls). WASD is perfect for this though. Ravenswatch is the shit, I need to get back to it as well. Another perfect example of WASD controls.

How many times have you seen the hidden boss? I forgot the name, not the hunter boss, but one where you have to go to another realm and you can come back and finish the run.
