The Beacon
Action Rogue-lite / Dungeon Crawler / RPG
Enter the Changing Depths of Dawnport
The Beacon is a skill-based, pixel-art dungeon crawler that captures the unforgiving, addictive loop of traditional rogue-lites. Set in a fantasy world filled with shifting subterranean threats, players equip daggers or bows to conquer real-time, directional combat. Success requires mechanical mastery, manually dodging enemy projectiles, timing high-damage charges, and adapting to completely random dungeon layouts where death is always a misstep away.
The game enters its defining era with Season 1: Goblin's Gambit. Transitioning into a live seasonal structure, the update introduces a massive narrative and mechanical expansion focused on an underground goblin civilization dwelling right below Dawnport. With a staggering 7.7 Million $BCN seasonal reward pool on the line, players are pushed to explore a highly social, player-driven economy that masterfully splits the difference between safe progression and degenerate risk.
Core Game Systems:
Procedural Dungeon Loops: Spend daily stamina to deploy into treacherous, ever-changing dungeons. Survive the gauntlet, adapt to active layout modifiers, and extract with valuable Umbra Shards.
The Forked Economy (Safe vs. Risk): Once you gather your shards, the choice is yours. Take the safe route and exchange them directly for Umbra Chests containing steady, guaranteed tokens and cosmetics, or risk them in the underground.
Kraken Klash: The headline high-stakes mode of Season 1. Sneak into The Cellar to convert your shards into Gobloonz, then tribute them in a prediction-based board game to chase massively multiplied token payouts.
Dynamic Weapon Mastery: Switch seamlessly between swift close-quarters combat with daggers or tactical range control using the bow, each featuring unique ability mechanics that reward clean execution.
Hybrid Free-to-Play Model: Play entirely for free directly on your browser or the Epic Games Store. Players can optionally unlock a premium Starter Pack to transform standard cosmetics into tradable NFTs, expand maximum stamina capacities, and unlock tier-boosted token bundles.
