The Beacon

The Beacon is a free-to-play fantasy action roguelite RPG, currently in development. Players enter a unique dungeon every time, battle monsters, and upgrade their combat prowess and style along the way. Players will need to have good timing and reflexes to defeat the challenges they face in real-time.  There are three modes of play: single-player PvE, co-op PvE, and socializing in an MMO-like world. The game will be available for desktop and in-browser. Through gameplay, players will be able to acquire persistent game assets (implemented using NFT technologies).

The game is currently in development but you can already venture into dungeons, loot NFTs, build your home and chat with NPCs in the tavern!

In The Beacon, players are able to participate in various activities such as:

  • Dungeon Expedition: Players will be able to try out the prototype PvE combat system, where they must clear a small dungeon of enemies in a limited amount of time. Players can choose one of three exits to take, each containing a chest with loot rewards.
  • Tavern Quiz: Players can win rewards by visiting Igor, the tavern drunk, and answering a question that tests their knowledge of the world of The Beacon. Players can earn loot rewards.
  • House Customization: Players can personalize their in-game housing by decorating it with items obtained through gameplay. The house editor allows players to place and arrange items, make changes, and preview them in the game. Players can also rotate and remove items from their current position.
