Steam review snapshots
Compared to many shooters and roguelikes, Beacon does have a story and an interesting world to explore.First, there are human weapons from different crashed ships, which include variety of projectile weapons, explosive weapons, also railguns and some energy…In contrast, it clearly lacks the "build up" of making the player feel powerful and growing in fortitude with every mutation.Because Beacon is very similar to other rogue-likes but with a different look and point of view, your desire to want to…Why it fits
Check it if you want action filtered by single-player.
