Saros

Saros is a futuristic third-person action game. Set on the shape-shifting alien planet Carcosa, the game follows Soltari Enforcer Arjun Devraj as he investigates a lost off-world colony beneath the influence of a recurring cosmic eclipse.

Gameplay combines elements of bullet hell, third-person shooting, and roguelite progression. Players engage in fast-paced combat that emphasizes mobility, precision dodging, shielding, and pattern recognition. A central mechanic is the Soltari Shield, which allows Devraj to block and absorb incoming projectiles and convert that energy into powerful offensive abilities.

The game features persistent progression systems that carry over between runs. After each death, players retain certain resources that can be used to permanently enhance weapons, abilities, and suit upgrades, gradually increasing survivability and combat options. Each run alters the structure of Carcosa’s biomes, introducing new enemy configurations, paths, and environmental hazards influenced by the Eclipse. Between expeditions, players return to a hub area known as the Passage, where progression is tracked and story interactions with other characters unfold. World-building is supported through exploration and collectible Soltari Holograms, which reveal fragments of Carcosa’s history and the fate of its inhabitants.
