The Beacon had just had a successful Settlement Launch, which started on November 25 and lasted for 3 weeks. The launch featured free gameplay, the opportunity to collect limited edition NFTs, and the chance to get on an allowlist for the Generation-0 Pet Egg mint event on December 15th.
The game also offers a unique mechanic of earning NFT rewards, which can be collected and used to customize and decorate the player’s character or house. The fact that these NFTs can also be traded or sold in the marketplace adds an additional layer of depth and replay value to the game. You can combine loots with the same tier and turn them into a higher-tier item using a tool called item recycling, which is another feature they have.
In order to obtain NFTs and participate in all game features in the game, players must purchase a founding character, which is a unique digital asset represented as an NFT. These NFTs have a name, and appearance, and are composed of a set of cosmetic items to grant them a unique look. While the game itself is free to play, players must purchase a character in order to access certain features and obtain NFT loot, some of which are limited and may not be obtainable again in the future.
One of the key strengths of The Beacon appears to be its fun and engaging gameplay, which involves exploring and battling through dungeons while using weapons and attacks.
Another strong aspect of The Beacon is its commitment to offering a variety of in-game events and competitions, such as time trials, in which players can earn additional rewards and test their skills against other players. This not only adds to the overall enjoyment of the game but also helps to keep players engaged and coming back for more.
Generation-0 eggs are a type of NFT that represent virtual pet eggs in the game. These NFTs can be hatched to reveal a unique virtual pet, which serves as a companion to the player and may grant certain perks based on its traits. Generation-0 pets are particularly special because they are the first generation of pets in the game and will be used to seed all other pets through breeding. They also provide increased yields on drops and preferential access to future game events and releases. Players will have the opportunity to mint a generation-0 pet egg during the Beacon Settlement Launch event, and these eggs are expected to hatch in mid-January 2023.
Overall, The Beacon seems like a well-designed and enjoyable action-rogue-lite dungeon crawler that is well worth checking out, especially for fans of this genre. With its low barrier of entry compared to other web3 games is also a plus, free-to-play model, and a growing player base of 26,005 unique players, it is definitely a game that is worth keeping an eye on as it continues to evolve and add new features and content.
DS Guild members’ opinions on The Beacon’s launch
One of the things I really enjoy about The Beacon is that it’s possible to play for just a few minutes of your time, but if you’re lucky and manage to get your hands on some legendary loot, you can sell it in the marketplace and earn some $Magic tokens. — DS SkidRenz
The Beacon’s settlement launch gave us a glimpse of what the base gameplay of the game would look and feel, and as someone who has enjoyed playing other roguelite games, I honestly really enjoy the game and like where the game is headed. Overall, The Beacon’s Settlement launch with it’s carefully crafted dungeons and fun daily activities offered players like me something to look forward to daily. It’s a perfect addition to the Treasure ecosystem. — DS Mike
All I can say is that the Beacon’s settlement launch was successful, despite the fact that the server was overwhelmed with players when the launch first began. I suppose they hadn’t anticipated how popular Beacon would be. DS — Gobbi
