Entering early access on Steam today after some Itch exclusivity, Monothetic’s roguelike shooter Beacon has a delightfully grim concept – Freja Akiyama has been smashed into soup by a hard landing on an very hostile planet. Fortunately her ship’s escape pod comes equipped with a cloning bay and gene-splicing lab. Each time she dies, you get to jam a few rogue strains of collected alien (or even robot) DNA into her next iteration, visibly mutating her. It’s like a stylish future-tech version of The Binding Of Isaac’s blobby sprite abominations. See the new trailer below.
