Beacon is a hybrid tower-defense / real-time strategy game where you defend your home planet from waves of invading aliens. Construct turrets and hangars to strengthen your defenses or build mines on ore-rich asteroids to boost your income. Survive for as long as possible and remember, you don’t have to save every asteroid.

Four Distinct Factions

- 4 unique factions, each with their own starting setups and buildings

- Mix and match with buildings from different factions to create powerful defenses or optimized economies

Adaptive Strategy

- Reposition fighter ships by moving their beacons, allowing you to adapt to enemy spawn positions

Risk vs. Reward

- When a new asteroid spawns, will you invest into it, or is it not worth the risk?
