Newways She teamed up with Lizard Smoothie to publish the MOBA roguelike game Shape of Dreams.

The game comes from South Korean indie game developer Lizard Smoothie. Combining the best of two popular video game genres, Shape of Dreams fuses a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) control system with cooperative roguelike gameplay to create a new style of game where no play is the same.

“Korea has a strong history in MOBA gaming, which is what initially attracted us to Shape of Dreams,” Neowiz CEO Seung-chul Kim said in a statement. “Lizard Smoothie has crafted a unique title that brings a familiar structure to audiences and enhances it with cooperative battle gameplay. We are confident in its ability to blaze a new trail for the roguelike genre.

The game can be played solo or with up to four friends in co-op mode. Lizard Smoothie released a demo and intro for the game on Steam, where the intro has achieved over 200,000 downloads and a very positive user rating.

“Since sharing the Shape of Dreams demo last year, our team has been overwhelmed by the positive feedback we’ve received from players,” Eunseob Shim, CEO of Lizard Smoothie, said in a statement. “With Newiz, we felt we found a partner who also values ​​bringing more Korean indie games to the global level. Our team has been developing this project since 2023, and we look forward to launching a high-quality and fun gaming experience for everyone.”

Founded in 1997, Neowiz is a South Korean gaming company and a global leader in console, PC and mobile gaming. Their latest partnership with Lizard Smoothie continues their commitment to working with independent developers to publish a diverse catalog of titles that appeal to audiences around the world.
