Our take on Shape Raid
The defining structure is a six-boss run that creates its final encounter from the bosses defeated along the way, so each completed raid can end with a different combination of attacks and behavior.
What is Shape Raid?
Shape Raid is a cooperative bullet-hell boss rush for up to 8 players.
Each raid presents two boss options at every stage, while a random choice adds uncertainty. After six boss fights, the final encounter combines elements from the bosses defeated during that run. Completing raids grants Ability Tokens for unlocking and upgrading abilities, while cosmetic options change the shape's appearance. Optional tasks add challenges such as finishing without dying, defeating consecutive bosses, or completing a speedrun. Custom Mode lets players select a specific boss sequence instead of relying on random choices.
