Update Features
- New Game Mode – Minions’ Dan Dojo: Minions’ Dan Dojo is a whole new way to play ShapeHero Factory! In this mode, there are no battles or time limits. Instead, use limited resources to optimize your factory to earn in-game achievements. The Dojo is a major new addition sure to catch the eye of traditional factory builder game fans.
- New Hero – Dullahan: The new Minion Master Dullahan joins the factory, using their powers to target the closest enemies. It can summon four clones of itself and apply burn to enemies it attacks. Dullahan’s recipe can be obtained from a Surprise Event in-game.
- Box Selecting: The long-requested box-selecting feature is now here, letting players select facilities in a 12x12 area to move, delete and copy. (Copy and Paste is only usable in Free Control mode for game balance.)
- Lobby Themes: Enjoy four new lobby themes, each available for 100 Arcane Knowledge Points.
- Extended Tracks: Short BGM loops have been extended into full-length BGM tracks. You can swap between short and long music in the options menu!
ShapeHero Factory is available now on Steam, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 for $23.99. A free demo for the game is also available on Steam!
