Our take on ShapeHero Factory
Instead of putting the player in direct command of a battlefield, the game makes factory design the main form of strategy. Heroes assemble and fight independently, so decisions about shapes, conveyor production, Masters, and upgrades replace moment-to-moment troop control.
What is ShapeHero Factory?
ShapeHero Factory is a strategy game about operating a magical factory that produces warriors from geometric shapes.
Place shapes on conveyor belts to create self-operating units, such as soldiers from circles and triangles or tanks from circles and squares. The heroes fight automatically, while decisions focus on factory construction and battle preparation. Defend a portal from escalating waves of unusual enemies, collect magical artifacts, and improve the factory between runs. Playable Masters offer different hero types and construction approaches. Experimenting with these characters unlocks permanent Arcane Knowledge upgrades, allowing later runs to develop along different strategies.
