Asobism has announced the early access launch of ShapeHero Factory via its YouTube channel.
The game is a blend of factory simulation, rogue-lite, and tower defence genres. Players must build a factory to mass-produce heroes while protecting their portals from destruction. You can’t directly command the heroes; all you can do is construct the factory. Each wave of enemies will be stronger than the last. Unique artefacts can be earned as rewards during battles to reinforce the factory. The goal is to survive intense battles and defeat the Great Calamity. By combining shapes on scrolls, players can create their own heroes. Circles and triangles produce soldiers, while circles and squares create spirits. Adding squares to soldiers gives them shields.
ShapeHero Factory is available today, November 6, 2024, for PC through the Steam store. Below is the trailer announcing the early access and showcasing detailed gameplay.
