What is Shape of Dreams like?

Everyone picks a Traveler with a different combat style, and you combine skills in runs that change every time.

Each of you picks a Traveler, from close-range fighters to support characters, and the group moves through a map of rooms where most fights play out like a team fight in a MOBA. Rooms drop new Memories, the abilities that make up your build, and you can swap them at any point in the run or pass gold and Memories to a teammate. You have to clear at least four dream worlds before you can face the final boss. Between runs, the currency you collected goes into skill trees that carry over.
