Gloom Beacon by StrongGames is an epic game
challenging you to use your strategic thinking at full
scale. Even the most exacting players will be
satisfied: it combines turn-based card strategy with
role-playing elements; and mahjong style combats,
though hasteless, are really thrilling.
Starting the game you should first choose the gender
and the race of your character: human, elf, dwarf,
Minos (looks like a bull), Lahama (some kind of a
demon), Rooh (a huge bird), Skogi (looks like a rat)
or Kanchhor, which is, apparently, a snake.
Then you read the sorrowful tale of Oasis, which was a
prosperous trade center long ago, but now it is
enshrouded in darkness. Ships of desert cannot find it
any more, because the evil magician Krachont has built
the Gloom Beacon, and now its dark beams hide Oasis
day and night. He has enslaved the citizens, turned
the former king into a ruthless monster and imprisoned
the queen.
Lots of intrepid warriors tried to force the Dark
Tower and to defeat the evil magician, but not a bit
of it. But now it is your turn to fight Krachont and
his numerous accomplices.
Each battle consists of two parts: the chess-like
board showing the enemy units and your allies. The
squares affect your health and mana levels in
different way: for example, a certain square can
increase fire mana and decrease water mana by 20
points each, but there can be no effect on air and
earth mana. It means that you can choose the better
square to start the combat.
As you have already guessed, your character (and each
allied unit) has a certain number of health points and
four types of mana required to cast spells. The spells
are represented in the form of mahjong plates, so that
you cast them playing according to mahjong rules.
Remember: the spells do not work if you lack mana!
Assemble a strong troop, work out a strategy and let
the Fortune smile upon you.
