Roguelikes will forever be one of the best genres to play on the Steam Deck, and I love seeing some smaller yet gorgeous-looking games enter the ring. Shape Shifter: Formations is one of those games, and with the most recent update, we have some reworking to get the game ready for that green checkmark!

With the newest update for the game, we have some reworked menus and text to improve the usability and visibility on the Steam Deck. This is fantastic, considering the game also got the Verified badge on Steam. While this doesn't indicate how well it plays, I love seeing devs make specific optimizations to make it more playable.

As for the rest of the update, Endless Mode was just added, along with new ships, weapons, upgrades, and threat modifiers. There was also some rebalancing and optimizations for beam effects and any performance decrease from damage numbers. There were also some nice quality-of-life changes implemented based on user feedback.

You can view the full changelog on the Steam Community Post.

Shape Shifter: Formations is available on Steam now for $6.99.
