Vigilant: Burn & Bloom, a new endless survival game, is currently in soft launch on iOS. Players take on the role of the Sentinel, an ecosystem guardian battling hordes of fiery elemental beings. The game's unique twist? The Sentinel's task isn't simply to eradicate the fire elementals, but to maintain a delicate balance between fire and water.
This isn't a straightforward good vs. evil scenario. As the Sentinel, you'll manage and control these fiery creatures, intervening only when they threaten to overwhelm the world. Between battles, you'll retreat to your underground base (the "Batcave") to upgrade your powers and abilities.
The game cleverly avoids the typical simplistic portrayal of elemental conflict. While you'll engage in action-packed combat, using water orbs to counter the fire elementals, the emphasis on ecological balance sets it apart from typical kill-all shooters. This nuanced approach is a refreshing take on a common theme.
Vigilant: Burn & Bloom's worldwide iOS launch is scheduled for December, with an Android release planned for Q1 2025. Prepare for an engaging blend of action and strategic resource management! For fans of roguelike games, check out our review of the recently released Dungeon Clawer.
