Neowiz and Lizard Smoothie just surprise-released their new game Shape of Dreams on Nintendo Switch 2. It’s starting to roll out in certain regions and should be available everywhere over the next day or so.

Shape of Dreams is a roguelite action game that can be played alone or with up to four players. Players can visit ever-changing worlds such as lava fields, blizzard mountains, and starry cosmos as well as dodge waves of enemies combine ever-changing skills and upgrades, and more.

Further details can be found in the following overview:

Shape of Dreams is an action roguelite that blends hack-and-slash combat, MOBA-inspired team play, and strategic decision-making.

Journey through surreal dreamscapes, dodge swarming enemies, and break through each encounter with precise skill shots and quick decisions.

Play solo for tense, skill-based challenges, or team up in up to four-player cooperative play, where different combat styles come together to create powerful synergies. Combine ever-changing skills and upgrades to carve your own path of progression, and face the dream world in a new way every run.

No two challenges are the same, and no single fixed build or strategy will always carry you to victory.

Eight Travelers, Each with a Distinct Combat Style

From swift close-range assaults and precise skill shots to wide-area attacks and supportive playstyles, each Traveler approaches combat differently.

Build around your chosen Traveler’s combat style and face enemies in a new way with every run.

Solo and Cooperative Play, Two Ways to Fight

When playing solo, dodge incoming attacks, land your skills with precision, and shape your build through the choices you make.

In up to four-player cooperative play, combat becomes even more dynamic. When different Travelers’ abilities and builds come together, powerful combinations and explosive synergies emerge—ones that could never be created alone.

Use ever-changing choices to alter your attacks, enhance your abilities, and discover unexpected combinations. Even with the same Traveler, the build you create can lead to a completely different combat style.

There is no single answer. Build your strategy from the options offered in each run, and take on challenges that may seem impossible.

A World That Changes with Every Run

The dream world is filled with new choices and variables every time you play. Four difficulty levels, distinctive boss encounters, and Lucid Dream modifiers demand different tactics and build decisions with each run.

Rather than follow a familiar path, try new combinations that match each changing situation. The more you play, the more powerful strategies you will discover as you break through the dream world in your own way.

The dream awaits.
