Beacon is a Sci-Fi Action Roguelike in which you take control of Freja, a recently-deceased pilot-for-hire whose ship has just crashed into the side of an unknown planet. Luckily for Freja, thanks to her ship’s automated clone bay, being dead isn’t the pain in the ass it once was. Played as a top-down shooter, Beacon tasks you with fighting your way through a randomly generated hostile world, all the while trying to locate your emergency distress beacon and escape the planet into which your ship has crashed. While you’re making your way through these areas you’ll not only find weapons and items to help you; You’ll also be collecting DNA from the enemies you defeat. Then, when you inevitably die, you’re given the opportunity to combine the DNA you’ve collected with your own, granting you different stats and potentially gameplay-altering physical mutations for your next run.
