News flash: the action-RPG gacha game, *Black Beacon*, just launched its global beta test! Intrigued? We were too, so we dove in to see if it lives up to the hype.
Setting and Story
The game unfolds within the enigmatic Library of Babel, a setting inspired by Jorge Luis Borges' short story. This isn't your average library; it's a vast, labyrinthine structure containing every possible book, echoing the biblical Tower of Babel in its ambition and scale. The story cleverly weaves in Judeo-Christian mythology, creating a unique and intriguing backdrop. You play as The Seer, thrust into this world with a weighty destiny: becoming the custodian of the Library of Babel. Your arrival triggers a series of events, including a monstrous emergence from the depths, time-traveling shenanigans, and a ticking clockwork star—all adding up to a thrilling adventure.
Gameplay
Explore the 3D world of *Black Beacon* from either a top-down or free camera perspective, easily switching between views with a pinch. Real-time combat is fast-paced and engaging, rewarding skillful combo chaining and strategic character switching. The tag-team system allows benched characters to regenerate stamina quickly, encouraging dynamic team management. Combat is far from button-mashing; it requires timing and awareness of enemy attacks. Each character boasts a unique fighting style, making roster building a rewarding experience.
