Beacon: A Roguelite Where Death is Just a Cloning Opportunity

Beacon isn’t your average roguelite. This isn’t just about surviving procedurally generated levels; it’s about evolving. You play as Freja Akiyama, an interstellar mercenary crash-landed on the mysterious planet Kovus-18, with her only companion a self-replicating clone bay. Death? Merely a minor inconvenience.

Each death in Beacon offers a unique opportunity for genetic enhancement. Freja’s demise yields DNA from vanquished foes – members of five warring factions, each possessing unique genetic traits. This DNA allows you to sculpt your next clone, transforming Freja into a terrifying hybrid of human and alien biology. Imagine becoming a metal-clad behemoth, a bioluminescent insect monstrosity, or something far stranger. With over 100 mutations and 360+ items to discover across six randomly generated levels, the possibilities are endless.

The game’s narrative is intriguing. Freja’s endless cycle raises questions: how many clones have there been? How long has she been trapped? And at what cost will she finally escape? Exploring Kovus-18, scavenging for weapons and clues, unravels the planet’s secrets and the mysteries surrounding its hostile factions. You’ll face over 120 enemy types, including challenging boss battles, each encounter shaping your future clones.

Beacon’s gameplay loop – die, collect DNA, upgrade, repeat – is addictive. The combination of intense combat, strategic mutation choices, and a compelling narrative makes it a truly unique and engaging experience. It’s a game not just about survival, but about evolution, adaptation, and the ultimate quest for escape from a seemingly endless cycle.
