Vigilant: Burn & Bloom, a fresh endless survival game, is currently in soft launch on iOS. Players assume the role of the Sentinel, an ecosystem guardian battling hordes of fiery elemental beings.
This isn't a simple good versus evil scenario. The Sentinel's task is to maintain a delicate balance between fire and water, preventing the alien world from being consumed by flames. The game features a unique approach, where managing and controlling the fire elementals is as crucial as destroying them when they become overwhelming.
Between battles, the Sentinel retreats to their "Batcave" (a subterranean base) to upgrade abilities and powers. The game cleverly avoids the typical "good vs. evil" trope often seen in elemental conflict narratives, opting for a more nuanced approach to ecological balance.
Gameplay involves rotating the phone to aim and unleashing water orbs against the fiery creatures. While action-packed, the game's strategic depth, beyond simple annihilation, sets it apart.
A global iOS launch is slated for December, with an Android release expected in Q1 2025. Prepare for an engaging blend of action and strategic resource management! For more roguelike adventures, check out our review of Dungeon Clawer.
