I really like how ShapeHero Factory looks. It fuses factory simulation and tower defense to create an intriguing roguelike that looks like a blast to play. Even though it's still in early access, it looks like it has a ton of charm to it and a great idea that I hope gets expanded on as development continues through early access. It also just got its next major update, which includes official Steam Deck support!

The new update introduces a bunch of new gameplay additions and improvements, but it also brings full Steam Deck support. This includes full controller support, support for Steam Input, and support for 16:10 resolutions to fill out the entire screen of the Deck. This should all make it significantly easier to play on the go, which I appreciate.

The update also introduces a new endless mode, which is available after unlocking it, a new scoring feature, a new research tree, a new Big Composite Divider and Giant Composite Divider tile that has been added to the Layout Hub Research Tree, a new option to prevent gameplay speed from resetting to default at the start of a battle, and a new unlock animation for new equipment that you obtain from the Research Tree.

You can check out the full changelog for the update via their Steam Community Post.

ShapeHero Factory is on sale for $16.14 until May 20th.
