Shape Shifter: Formations

Shape Shifter: Formations is an action twin-stick shooter with rogue-lite elements. You destroy hordes of geometric enemies alone or in two-player local co-op, choosing a ship and combining weapons, abilities and upgrades to shape your build.

Ships and weapons

Choose from 20 ships and 20 weapons, each with its own abilities and playstyle. Ships can have active and passive abilities such as tesla towers, a burning laser, clones that mirror your attacks or the ability to slow time around you. Every ship and weapon has its own skill tree, with 800 skills in total, letting you change or improve its abilities and passives or gain new ones.

Fight through each run

Survive swarms of enemies before facing bullet-hell bosses with individual attacks and abilities. You can adjust the difficulty with modifiers, including electrifying walls and giving enemies elemental infusions. Higher difficulties can unlock prime boss variants, which offer a greater challenge and further rewards.

Killing enemies grants experience and lets you improve your ship with over 200 upgrades that stack without limit. You can inflict status effects or summon constructs with their own weaponry. Runs last 30 minutes, with an optional endless mode, and use manual twin-stick controls or optional auto-aim.

Progress between runs

Meta-progression lets you earn permanent upgrades and new mechanics for future runs. Completing challenges unlocks more upgrades, weapons and ships, while an expansive skill tree provides further progression.
