47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat, especially boss combat, is very satisfying and feels more involved than most Roguelites, feeling more similar really to an action RPG like Diablo or Path of Exile.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
More importantly, the replay value is actually through the roof because you have 4 difficulty levels, a ton of unlockable modifiers to make your run harder or easier, a ton of lore to unlock, skins and so on.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Shape of Dreams is a fast-paced, extremely addictive hack-n-slash roguelite with gorgeous visuals, decent build diversity and lots of modifiers to alter your future runs. it is probably one of my favorite Roguelites in a long time.
