About LIGHT THE BEACON

LIGHT THE BEACON is a 2D action-adventure survival game with rogue-like elements, set in the depths of a sci-fi apocalyptic universe. Take on the role of a genetically engineered Ranger, humanity’s last hope, as you navigate the dangers of space, maintain your ship, and battle for survival against hostile AI creations.

Key Features:

  • Survive in Hostile Space: Pilot your customizable ship through derelict stations and forgotten sectors, scavenging for critical resources to keep your crew alive while defending against relentless AI forces and unknown threats.

  • Procedurally Generated Universe: Explore an ever-changing galaxy where no two playthroughs are the same. Each sector is filled with new challenges, enemies, and opportunities for discovery.

  • Permadeath and Tension: Every decision counts. Face permadeath and start again from scratch if you fail to light the beacons and secure your survival. Tension builds as your supplies dwindle and your ship's integrity is pushed to its limits.

  • Customizable Ships: Craft and upgrade your ship with modular parts to suit your playstyle. Equip weapons, improve defenses, and balance resource management to adapt to the dangers of the universe.

  • AI-Driven Threats: In the aftermath of the Great AI Cataclysm, hostile AI entities control the void. Battle against corrupted machines and alien AI as you uncover the remnants of a lost civilization.

  • Exploration and Discovery: Venture into forgotten sectors, uncover hidden lore, and piece together the mystery of humanity’s collapse. Your journey will be filled with unexpected encounters and choices that shape your experience.
