The Beacon is a free-to-play fantasy action roguelite RPG with MMO aspects, online gameplay, and deep creative systems.

The Beacon is a novel approach to gaming, built around three intersecting genres that are rarely combined.

Inspired by renowned games:

Roguelite Layer

The roguelite layer draws from games like Hades:

• Procedurally generated dungeons across multiple biomes
• Fast-paced tactical combat
• Crafting builds through mid-run power-ups and items
• The constant tension of permadeath

MMO Layer

The MMO layer draws from games like World of Warcraft:

• Shared social hubs
• Cooperative dungeons that scale with party size
• Persistent reputation across runs
• Competitive community systems:
  • Speedrunning ladders
  • Tournaments
  • PvP arenas

Creative Layer

The creative layer draws from games like Stardew Valley:

• Fully customizable player housing
• Decorative items earned or traded
• Deep character customization powered by cosmetic items obtained in-game
